Apple Planing To Curved Glass iDevices - By Aby Benedict

Why? What's the advantage of having a curved glass display? What kind of devices Apple will use this curved glass? No answer, but till it comes, we can confirm the news via DigiTimes and the date is in early 2012.

“…Apple reportedly also has bought glass polishing equipment for its suppliers in preparation for the production of devices fitted with curved cover glass. Lens Technology, Fuji Crystal, G-Tech are said to be major cover glass suppliers of Apple. While Lens and Fuji focus on iPhones, G-Tech supplies mainly for iPad.”

Anyway, many other sites (via source close to Apple and other companies) added that other companies were expected to use curved cover glass in “attempts to gain a competitive edge” over Apple in the current iPhone and iPad dominated smarpthone and tablet markets.
