Apple has received a patent for high temperature manufacturing processes to form glass — a process that would enable Apple to create curved glass without the use of chemicals.
An alignment system would allow thin glass to bend around a mold without interference.
Speculation has hinted at a curved-screen iPhone, but the process could be used for glass covers in a number of devices — phones, media players, tablets, monitors and televisions, among other devices, are all listed as possible beneficiaries in the patent summary.
