Few days ago there is a new report about next iPhone. The main report about it's new technology 'put in-cell touch' sounds good right...? by this size of the phone will be reduced and design is very thin.This speculation has been backed further by a report from Apple Insider where they state that KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also put his thoughts forward regarding the in-cell touch panel and he believes that Apple may indeed use this new technology for the displays of their next iPhone.The report says that present iPhone is 9.3mmm thick and by using this technology the in the display, the upcoming iPhone cloud be very thin and its size may about slimmer by 0.44mm. They explained this technology that this can be achieved by removing the separate touch sensor layer and the another layer of adhesive and by adding this new display design which features the touch sensor in the TFT LCD.
The report gives a brief about to keep up with the thin smartphone designs from rival manufacturers, Apple could launch their the sixth generation iPhone with a metal back thus reducing the thickness further by 0.96mm to give it a depth of 7.90mm.
The report says that-“The analyst also cited "more efficient supply chain management" and improved production yield as reasons that Apple would adopt the in-cell technology. With the current glass-on-glass design, bonding occurs at a late stage in the production process, thereby resulting in "significant losses" if the bonding fails. Kuo believes in-cell production is quicker and more efficient because bonding comes earlier in the process. The new process would require an estimated three semi-finished items at bonding, compared to the six required to produce the iPhone 4S. Additionally, production procedures could be cut from eight to five. The analyst also suggested that the number of production days required could drop from 12 to 16 to three to five.”
There is also another report that states that the Sharp and Toshiba Mobile Display (TMD) will manufacture these in-cell touch panels for Apple. Other rumors regarding the upcoming Apple iPhone include a liquidmetal back panel, LTE support, NFC capabilities and a smaller dock.
Let's wait and see the possibilities of this technology by Apple launching a slimmer handset..
