PanARMENIAN.Net - iPhones that bend have got Apple more than its fair share of negative publicity, but reports suggest that the company is now ready to embrace flexible handsets, Digital Spy reports.

Sources speaking to Business Korea have claimed that the Cupertino firm is "serious" about bringing flexible OLED display technology to its devices.

A purported inside source told the publication that Apple's "top-tier display suppliers" are likely working on bringing the first flexible iPhone to market in 2018.

Bringing an OLED display to future iPhones could enhance colour saturation, accuracy and brightness.

Apple has already dabbled with this material, turning to LG Display and Samsung Display to supply flexible OLED screens for the Apple Watch.

Previous reports suggest that the upcoming iPhone 6S will include a Force Touch display that is capable of distinguishing between a brief tap and a longer press, but the jump to OLED is expected to come after that.
