The new iPhone will have an even thinner screen thanks to advances in LCD manufacturing, according to reports.
The latest Apple gadget will feature ?in-cell technology? which has touch sensors in the screen instead of another layer on top as it is now.
The difference would make the new iPhone about half a millimeter thinner but the image quality would actually improve, the Wall St Journal claimed.
It would also allow Apple to better take on Samsung?s Galaxy S III which has organic light-emitting displays which do not need to be backlit and are thinner than iPhone screens.
Samsung has been touting the feature as a major selling point to persuade customers to make the switch.
The iPhone 4 is 9.3mm deep compared to 8.6mm for the Galaxy S III.
