“Apple has reportedly selected Sharp to create next-generation low-temperature poly-silicon LCD displays, which will allow a thinner and lighter design for the anticipated sixth-generation iPhone in 2012,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Sharp will begin manufacturing of the displays in the spring of next year according to Japanese newspaper Nikkan,” Hughes reports. “The company is said to have already begun preparing equipment at its Kameyama Plant No. 1, which is primarily used for building LCD TVs.”
Hughes reports, “The liquid crystal display on the anticipated “iPhone 6” is said to feature “low-temperature poly-silicon” technology, a next-generation display format that allows for thinner and lighter screens that consume less power than traditional LCD screens.”

Already bored with iPhone 5 rumors?
Bored, so they are possibly taking rumours from the past.
Because since iPad-2 Apple already uses IPS-displays with less layers in it (2 layers comparing to 3 from iPad-1 display), with elements already done on a substrate glass.
Just in time for T-Mobile availability.
Lets get rid of Samsung slowly!
Solar powered?
In other news, Apple also is thought to be testing conductive electrical recharging for the iPhone 15, which will recharge its battery using conductive touch with a person’s skin and draws electricity directly from the skin. Apple is contracting with either Sharp, Samsung, or Toshiba for this development, but certainly it’s an Asian company.
Don’t forget the new QualComm aX3000 brain-implantable chip for the iPhone 20 that makes your brain 20G LTE compatable for true retina display as your brain interprets radio waves as images. Twitch your left nostril to access iTunes. twitch your right nostril for exposé.
Just don’t sneeze!
How about erupting a mouthful of coffee?
Now I’ve got to go look for something to wipe my screen clean.
Another indication iPhone 5 could hit the market in the Fall.
The 4G iPod touch is already so thin I can hardly use it without a case of some kind. The volume buttons ARE unusable without a case. Why don’t they leave things “thick” and put in massive batteries?
I agree. I would be happy with a couple of extra millimeters of thickness if it meant I could get a few extra hours of battery life.
Give two optins …..
Thin with X battery life and thicker with X life ……
iPhone 6 main new feature will be called “Float in thin Air”
What? No rumors about iPhone 8?
We already know about the iPhone 8. The only question is, “Will Apple negotiate and then file for the trademark for the ‘Global’ design and naming rights.”
In related news, an engineer working on the prototypes of the iPhone 8 has endured a severe string of paper cuts.
“All I was doing was holding the unit, when it slipped in my hand,” said the erstwhile tech from his Stanford U hospital bed. “This really smarts.”
An Apple official declined to comment except to say that the recently released line of iBand-Aids were “designed exactly for this purpose.”
In an email reportedly from Steve Jobs was the short comment;
“He was holding it the wrong way.”.
:~)
I’m gonna hold out for iphone 17 should be awesome!
Wowwww Apple iPhone 6 is releasing by the Spring if 2012…
http://www.bangobang.com/2011/04/apples-iphone-6-to-employ-sharps-next.html
Why are we caring about iPhone 6, or iPhone 2578303.. lets see what iPhone 5 has, its yet to be released. Why get carried away already.
Unfortunately it looks like iPhone 5 will be a small incremental update to iPhone 4. Super yawn- just an A5, 64 gigs, and maybe a smidgeon more screen space. I wonder if they will at least have fixed the antenna issue…
Booooooring…
iphone 15 will be be so thin and small that it will be a display for your retina replacing stagant product line ipad in the year 2025
So I’m looking at my iPhone 6 with its “low-temperature poly-silicon” display, and I’m thinking, “man, this looks like sh*t”. So, I go back to the Apple Store and get an iPhone 7 with a moon rock LCD. It looks ok for a cell phone, wouldn’t want it on an iPad.

If Samsung thinks they can steal Apple’s intellectual property and still retain Apple as a major customer, they are about to find out that Apple has other ideas…
Revenge is a dish best served cold – it will be interesting to see how Apple de-Googles its products: Samsung can expect a slow but determined, and irreversible, de-Samsunging over time…
