Apple patents wrap around 3D iPhone display
[Philip Lelyveld comment: The patent, linked here, is far reaching, and includes claims on having the content only visible to the viewer, using facial recognition to know where the viewer is, and on having a screen that can be rolled and unrolled.]
The patent, numbered 20130076612 , is entitled “Electronic device with wrap around display.” It was filed on 26 September 2011 and was published on 28 March of this year.
A full wrap around display with 3D and no buttons would be a major departure from existing models, and as such it may not be an appealing idea for some customers.
