Anyone who thought Apple opting for rounded squares as the basis of the iOS design aesthetic was just a case of Jony Ive or one of his designers liking rounded corners and deciding to run with it is actually quite wide off the mark. Here's the real reason.
If the majority of iPhone owners were to be honest and lay their cards on the line, we imagine that a fairly high percentage would love the idea of having a bezel-less iPhone. That would involve a smartphone device that essentially has a full glass display that extends from edge-to-edge without any breaks or bezels or buttons around the outer edges. Visual artists and concept designers have been pumping out these type of designs for years in the hope that Apple would take notice and introduce a design that follows this trend. We now have our clearest indication yet that Apple could be on the same design wavelength thanks to a recently granted patent to Apple that outlines a method of embedding a Touch ID sensor into the glass display of a smartphone.

The report is currently unconfirmed, but does tie in rather nicely with recent speculation about the potential for Qualcomm to lose one of its biggest accounts to a rival company.
Apple has officially announced that its new stunning retail presence in San Francisco will open its doors on May 21 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. The retail arm of Apple's operations has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to get the store ready to be presented to the public, with Apple now finding itself in a position to welcome footfall into the new Union Square store. Of course, when you welcome in the new, it ultimately means that the old has to make way, meaning that the San Francisco populous can now prepare to say goodbye to the existing Apple Store at Stockton Street.
