Apple iPhone X Successors Could Feature Touchless Control & Unique Curved Screens

Earlier this week, a report from Bloomberg claimed that Apple is considering future iPhone models with "hover" gestures and curved screens.

"Apple is working on touchless gesture control and curved screens for future iPhones", he writes. In particular, smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, and Huawei are introducing features such as full screen, camera enhancement, and facial recognition, which have triggered the iPhone's differentiation strategy.

Both technologies are in their developing phases, however, consumers should expect the features to arrive in the 2020 or 2021 model years.

Instagram for Apple Watch was one of the first social network apps to appear on watchOS, built back when such apps had to be paired with an iPhone. You have screens with unbelievably thin bezels, screens that respond differently to the amount of pressure applied today. This technology isn't exactly new as Sony and Nokia have implemented it in the past as a glove input option on their phones.

As for Apple's curved screen iPhone, it would have a curve that ran from top to bottom. Even iPhone X's screen is slightly curved at the bottom, but it is nearly invisible to human eye.

Apparently, Apple is going to achieve another milestone by letting its users to interact with their phones without tapping them. iPhone users will just need to make some gestures to perform certain tasks.

Apple's touchless gestures will be different here as well. The OLED screen in iPhone X is from Samsung but Apple has expanded its sourcing to LG for displays. After all, Apple's said to be sourcing most of its OLED technology from the South Korean giant anyway. Sure, Apple has some pointless features in its repertoire like Animoji, but most of the time the company prefers to throw useful features into the mix rather than oddities.

In addition to touchless aspects, there is also said to be a new screen design aspect in the works.
