iPHONE 5 NEWS: Well, everybody has been asking the same questions about the iphone 5. When? What?
Our iPhone parts suppliers are starting to 'Leak" small parts information to many of us in the repair industry. So while we still don't know when (expected to be released this fall), we do hear and read rumors about some of the changes. One such rumor is that Apple may be looking to one-up android phones, by introducing new technology into their phones to make the next generation of iPhone even thinner. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is working with Sharp and Japan Display to introduce an “in-cell technology” that will help to eliminate the touch screen layer of the phone, by adding touch sensors to the LCD layer. Fusing these two layers together will not only make the phone thinner than previous generations, but will also make the screen brighter. With one less layer for light to pass through, the elimination should help give the iPhone 5 a much sharper display screen.
