Report: iWatch to Get LG-Made Flexible Display


The much-anticipated Apple iWatch may come with a flexible display manufactured by LG, a new report suggests.

According to Korean website Naver (and a translation via G for Games, LG will be the exclusive supplier for the iWatch's flexible display. This coincides with other reports that surfaced in January, indicating LG would be a major player in developing displays for the connected smartwatch.

Also in line with rumors, the sources said the iWatch will come in two sizes: 1.3 inches and 1.5 inches. We could also see the smartwatch debut with various material options, which could put some models into the thousands of dollars bracket.

LG is a longtime Apple supplier and provides many of the displays for the Cupertino giant's iPad tablets, iMac and Thunderbolt displays.

Although the launch date is still in question, September is still the month that's being tossed around.

The report also said Apple aims to sell about 9 million iWatch devices by the end of the year.
