Because it is so expensive and risky to make curved glass screens, a lot of manufacturers simply don’t do it.

Whenever we turn our phones sideways, the display changes orientation. This is common iPhone knowledge. These sensors track where we are, what direction we’re moving in, and even which way we’re holding our phone. But is this all they’re capable of?
