New iPhone to have thinnest screen ever made - with sensors built into the glass

[DVTimes]

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.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm getting in line outside the nearest Mac store now. I MUST be the first to have one. Life will be better then.

A half of a millimeter thinner. What will everyone do with all of that extra space in their pocket? Oh maybe they will go Samsung and gain more space.

Which will no doubt make the already flimsy phone break even easier than it already does...

All of you with broken phones must be clumsy as hell. My IP4S looks brand new and I bought it on launch day.

And who will actually manufacture this device? Not Americans. Not Europeans. Not Canadians.

No, it'll be made by the same 12 year old Chinese girls who are assembling the current version of the iPhone. Go ahead and get in line.

I'm already in line at the Apple Store waiting for this. It's amazing! THEY SHAVED A HALF OF A MILLIMETER OFF THE GLASS! Revolutionary!

You must take hammers to your phone. I've dropped my iPhone about 5 times (4 times on cement, once on ice) and I've never even scratched it.

Love love love the iPhones (and everything apple).

I'm sure Apple will now also patent thin glass like they recently patent the ultrabook wedge shape
