Apple is working on future iPhones with touchless gesture control and curved screens, according to a new report from Bloomberg.

The gesture control feature would let users perform some tasks by moving their finger close to the screen without touching it. The gesture would take into account the proximity of a finger to the screen. A person familiar with the project said the technology won't be ready for at least two years.

Apple is also said to be developing displays that curve inward gradually from top to bottom.

That’s different than the latest Samsung smartphone screens, which curve down at the edges. So far, every iPhone model has used a flat display. The iPhone X’s OLED screen curves slightly at the bottom, but the shape is mostly invisible to the human eye.

A curved iPhone could be as little as two to three years away, according to a source. Bloomberg also reiterates its belief that Apple's microLED display technology is three to five years away. A recent report from DigiTimes said that the microLED panel could enter production this year or next.
