Apple has repeatedly rejected the curved screen that Android flagship is using. These four reasons are the key.

I don't know if you have noticed that since the last two years, most of the mobile phones we use, especially the high-end flagship phones, have changed their screens from straight screens to curved screens. Some people like this change very much, and many people feel uncomfortable, but in any case, it is an indisputable fact that there are more and more curved screen mobile phones.

Then, how did the curved screen mobile phone develop and grow, what advantages did it have, and why did someone refuse it?

It took 8 years for the curved screen to occupy the flagship mobile phone market.

In people's traditional impression, the screen of mobile phone should be a flat glass. More than a decade ago, Nokia and Motorola's function machines, despite all kinds of creativity in shape design, have been very disciplined in screen selection.

This situation began to change in 20 13, and the leader of the change was Samsung, the dominant player in the global smartphone market at that time. 20 13 September, Samsung released the world's first curved screen mobile phone GALAXY Round. It is equipped with a flexible screen developed by Samsung itself. Different from the curved screen we think now, the curved screen of Samsung GALAXY Round is concave inward, that is, "the two sides are high and the middle is low". Samsung said that this screen design is "ergonomic and more comfortable to watch movies".

This design was so "aggressive" eight years ago that consumers were afraid to buy it. The sales of this mobile phone are so poor that Samsung directly gave up this product line. However, just one year later, Samsung came up with a blockbuster curved screen mobile phone.

20 14 September, Samsung released Note Edge, which is the "ancestor" of all curved screen mobile phones. It is considered a subversive idea that the screen is horizontal, the side is bent downward, and even some notice bar messages can be displayed on the side. Subsequently, the wave of curved screen set off by Samsung Note series swept the whole Android mobile phone field, and domestic manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo began to launch curved screen mobile phones. Now, in addition to Apple's iPhone, the curved screen has become one of the standard of flagship mobile phones.

These three advantages of curved screen make people "fondle admiringly"

Curved screen mobile phones can become the first choice of flagship mobile phones for the following reasons:

High face value. Compared with the traditional flat glass, curved surface screen glass naturally forms an arc at the edge of the screen, creating a kind of curved beauty. Some manufacturers have made the curvature of curved screens bigger and bigger, even to such an exaggerated angle of 88 degrees. Other manufacturers are not satisfied with the double-sided curved screen, and have introduced four curved screen mobile phones with curved upper and lower surfaces, which has raised the aesthetic feeling to a higher level.

It feels good. The curved screen mobile phone in your hand has a soft feeling of "playing with jade". When you get used to the larger and larger curved surface of a curved screen phone, if you use a straight screen phone again, you will feel like cutting your hand.

Side interactive experience. As mentioned above, Samsung realized the interactive function of the side curved screen on the curved screen mobile phone launched seven years ago. This side can display weather, incoming call information, rolling push information, etc. And with the use of organic light-emitting diode screen, you can watch the above information without lighting the screen, which plays a role in saving electricity.

Why does Apple always "reject" curved screens?

When the flagship mobile phone of the Android camp used a large number of curved screens, Apple's iPhone remained unmoved. Until 202 1, iPhone 13 series did not use curved screen. It must be a joke to say that Apple has no money to buy curved screens, so why doesn't Apple always use curved screens? These reasons can not be ignored, which may also be the reason why many consumers don't like curved screens.

Green edge problem. Because the curvature of the curved screen on the edge of the mobile phone is too large, it is easy to see a light green stripe at a specific angle, commonly known as "green edge". Moreover, the greater the curvature of the curved screen, the more serious the problem of green edge. This problem has not been solved so far, which has discouraged many consumers who want to buy curved screen mobile phones.

Mistouch problem. Because the curved surface of the curved screen mobile phone is also a part of the screen, it is easy to touch it by mistake in daily use. Sometimes I put my phone in my trouser pocket, accidentally touched the volume button, and even opened some apps. Even if some curved screen phones are added with "anti-touch mode", the effect is limited.

Film pasting is difficult. Compared with the direct screen mobile phone, it is much more difficult to film the curved screen. The film that comes with the mobile phone is pasted with professional equipment, but it is very difficult to paste it yourself.

Fragile. The most likely result of the traditional direct-screen mobile phone falling to the ground is that the frame falls out of a pit, and the probability of the screen breaking is relatively small. Curved screen mobile phones are much more dangerous. The result of falling to the ground is at least that the outer screen is broken, and if it is serious, the inner screen will be broken. Moreover, the cost of curved screen is much higher than that of straight screen, and it is difficult to maintain without a thousand dollars. Therefore, in order to avoid being broken, people usually put on a protective shell, but in this case, the side screen will also block part of it and attend to one thing and lose sight of another.
