Even thinner? Well wouldn't that be a delight for our pockets (or purses for the ladies). PCMag give us the insider on the recent news:
The next version of Apple's iPhone could likely be the thinnest one yet, thanks to the rumored switch to cutting edge in-cell touch panels, an analyst is predicting.
Rumors surfaced late last week that the next iteration of the Apple smartphone will use new in-cell touch panels, reducing the weight and overall thickness of the device. Now, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a report agreeing with that rumor, and noting that that the switch to in-cell touch panel technology could shave .44 milimeters off the thickness of the next iPhone, according to AppleInsider.
The new design would embed the phone's touch sensor within the display, thus eliminating the separate touch sensor layer, as well as one layer of adhesive used on the current model. Moreover, a thinner battery and Apple's rumored switch to a metal back instead of glass could further reduce the iPhones thickness by .96 mm, Kuo predicted.
