Apple Is Said to Work on Touchless Control, Curved IPhone Screen
- Company seeks to differentiate design in crowded marketplace
- IPhone X’s OLED screen also expanding to additional models
Apple Inc. is working on touchless gesture control and curved screens for future iPhones, projects that may help the company differentiate its most-important product in an increasingly crowded market, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The control feature would let iPhone users perform some tasks by moving their finger close to the screen without actually tapping it. The technology likely won’t be ready for consumers for at least two years, if Apple chooses to go forward with it, a person familiar with the work said.
