TL;DR
- A hardware technician modified an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
- The mud gave the iPhone 14 Pro Max a curved screen, similar to those found on Samsung Galaxy devices.
- The mud showed the results in a series of photos and a short video.
Unlike Samsung and Google, Apple has never been interested in putting its toe in the water of the curved screen. But if you’ve ever wondered what an iPhone would look like with rounded screen edges, a mud just answered your wish.
A Twitter user who uses lipilipsi and claims to be an iPhone hardware technician recently unveiled their latest project, a modified iPhone 14 Pro Max. For the project, the modder decided to give the phone one of the more controversial design choices found on some Android phones, a curved screen.
The modification involved replacing the phone’s frame with a new one and swapping the display with a new one. However, beyond that, everything else is pretty much the same.
You can see the result in the photos below.

In addition, the technician made a short video showing all sides of the device, as well as the operation of the handset.
Whether you’re a fan or a hater of curved screens, we can probably all agree that iPhones look kind of weird with that type of screen. And it’s probably safe to say that this quirky thought experiment isn’t likely to convince Apple to go down this path any time soon either.
