Slimmer than Samsung? New iPhone to have thinnest screen ever made – with sensors built into the glass

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.
