iPhone 6 Rumors: Apple to Use Curved Glass Screens for New Model
The iPhone 6 rumors are finally starting to heat up again as a new report revealed that Apple will use curved displays on the next-gen model.
Next year's iPhones will come with displays that are 4.7 and 5.5-inches, according to Bloomberg. The publication also claims that Apple is working on enhanced touch sensors that incorporate pressure sensitivity that will be used for the device as well.
"Two models planned for release in the second half of next year will feature larger displays with glass that curves downward at the edges, said Bloomberg's source. "Sensors that can distinguish heavy or light touches on the screen may be incorporated into subsequent models."

The 5.5-inch iPhone is said to be a Galaxy Note 3 competitor while the 4.7-inch model will be Apple's answer to the high-demand in the market for larger screens.
Both of these handsets are still in the development stages and they will probably be released sometime during the third quarter of next year.
Apple will be following in the footsteps of Samsung on two accounts, according to this news as Samsung was one of the first companies to release a smartphone-tablet hybrid and a device with a curved display with the Galaxy Round.
An iPhone with a larger screen has been spoken about in previous rumors that began surfacing in the middle of this year. The iPhone 5S was originally expected to be unveiled with a larger counterpart that featured even better next-gen specs. However, that never came to fruition as Apple only released the iPhone 5C low-cost version this year.
The pressure on Apple for it to launch an iPhone with a larger screen has grown significantly and this is the next logical step for the company.
