The new iPhone 5 will be thinner !

On the eve of the presentation of quarter results from Apple, we invite you to discover the current rumor about the iPhone 5.

After the articles about a new alloy shell for future iPhone 5, we propose to discover the current rumor.

The interior of the new iPhone could be equipped with cells in the touch panel of the unit, that will be incorporating touch sensor in the display. Thus, it is no longer needed as currently having an extra layer linked to the screen so that the tactile system would be working properly. Removing this layer could reduce the thickness of the new iPhone 5 of about 0.44 mm.


Currently 9.3 mm thickness, the previous iPhones remained generally quite thick. The iPhone 5 could change the way down to around 8 mm of the alloy with Liquidmetal and display technology that we introduced above. This could help to reduce overall of 1.3 mm thickness of the hull of the iPhone 5.

Another advantage: these screens are much less time to manufacture, and manufacturing process provides better production yields. This is important because it could allow its subcontractor Foxconn to increase its productivity (the number of iPhone 5 produced) and thus reduce production costs of about 10 to 20%. Do not however expect low Prices! After the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 will not be low cost, it's a near certainty.

The new iPhone 5: a revolution?
