Reuters is reporting that LG has started mass production of a “new and thinner display, widely speculated to be for use in Apple’s next iPhone.” It makes sense, especially since we expect the iPhone 5 to be announced on September 12th, for factories to start pumping out iPhone 5 parts.
The screens LG is working on is expected to be 4-inches — nearly 30 per cent bigger than current iPhones — but also incredibly thin. The new screens embed touch sensors into the display so there’s no need for a separate touch-screen layer. Eliminating unnecessary parts means jumping ahead in the ongoing smartphone race to stay thin and hopefully, means a battery that doesn’t suck. September 12th can’t come soon enough.

I think Kat is messing with us by not including the iPhone 5 tag any more
Or it could be that they are just pulled straight from the US site. But I choose to believe otherwise..
As I mentioned in the other thread, the sweepstake rule don’t say that “only” posts tagged with iphone5 will count.
Then how do we decide? I propose if the article specifically mentions the ‘iPhone 5′ or ‘new iPhone’ we can include it?
I’d suggest that the primary subject of the article has to be the new iPhone or part/service associated exclusively with it.
Super thin? Perhaps like a microscope slide cover. I can’t foresee any problems with that.
