Digitimes strikes again with news that Apple plans to fit curved glass displays in the next iPhone . Cover glass manufacturers have been reported to be reluctant to invest the large amount of capital required to procure machines capable of making curved glass panels in sufficient quantities. Due to this Apple has had to  procure 200-300 curved glass cutting machines to make displays for its upcoming iPhone 5 .

Digitimes adds that large scale production is yet to begin as the company is still working with component manufacturers to improve yield rates. Apple has previously experimented with curved glass technology on the iPod Nano. Curved glass displays have recently found appeal in handsets like the Nexus S , Dell Venue and the upcoming HTC Sensation.

    Though the information about the curved glass screen is said to be rumored, the possible advantages for the much awaited iphone 5 is that it might be non-conductive and would have smooth surface to hold which will have a feature of acquiring perfect reception of the signals. However, having glass on the edges might be prone to the clumsy mistakes and thus must be handled with most care.
