LCD is on its way out- like it or not. This is more of a rumor that Sharp will be making these panels rather than Apple having them. Either way OLED screens had these advantages for years, so there is absolutely nothing "revolutionary", they simply catching up to OLED thinness. This might work as a cheap alternative until OLED will get cheaper and mainstream.

and what only about 11 thousand of the new 18000 new workers at Foxconn will be around at the end of the year?
[citation][nom]DroKing[/nom]yes I am dead serious. I may be completely biased with hate toward Apple products but its for a good reason. I hate closed ecosystems period.[/citation]
Look at it this way. If Apple comes out with a great new display type, their competitors will be forced to follow. That means Apple's invention can be used by you on an Android or WP not long after. That seems good to me.

[citation][nom]archange[/nom]Just as long as they don't patent it as revolutionary and start suing everybody all over again.[/citation]
Don't know about suing, but Apple (along with their fans) will definitely act like the invented the technology all on their own. It's a good strategy, aligning product launches with cool new technology developments. It makes everyone else look like a copycat when they come out with the same thing a few months later. In reality, the time spend on R&D for a new smartphone is much longer than those few months, and other manufacturers are probably already hard at work implementing the same tech into their products.

There are many mis-informed iOS fans just like there are misinformed Android fans. I, like most iPhone users I think, don't care if anyone else thinks the iPhone is a great device...it works for me...who else does it have to work for?

I can't fathom yours and others need to expend your personal time and energy on this "hate". Have you no lives? You have an alternative called Andriod. So why do you waste your time?

[citation][nom]face-plants[/nom]Innovative new tech is good no matter how great or garbage the final products are that it is used in. Thinner screens with touch sensing built right into the pixels basically, being made by multiple companies and more developing them will benefit far more techies than just iPhone users.[/citation]
Normally, I'd say you're absolutely right, but if Apple is the "first" to use this technology, you can expect other companies to have a hard time using it, or a similar technology, without feeling the wrath of Apple lawyers.

Not quite, sorry....
In-cell technology isn't currently deployed in any shipping cellphones. And it shouldn't be confused with the similar-sounding "Super" technologies from Samsung. Super AMOLED and Super LCD screens use on-cell technology rather than in-cell.

[citation][nom]molo9000[/nom]Size and weight make a phone less comfortable to carry in a pocket on your body, be it in your trousers or jacket.I've never experienced thinness being a problem when holding a phone.I don't understand why people like those ginormous 4.5" smartphones. They are uncomfortable to wear and uncomfortable to hold & operate with one hand.A smartphone the same size as the iPhone but slimmer would be a pretty good form factor IMO.[/citation]
Not everyone has hands your size, I have large hands and those 3.5 inch or really thing phones are uncomfortable for me to hold. My Droid Bionic is pretty much perfect, not insanely thick but thick enough to be comfortable and not huge either. As for the uncomfortable in your pocket, really just how small are you?

yup, have to agree with kamikazi, too thin is just a bit too much unless of course you are that small

Has anyone noticed that APPLE does not come out with anything? They just do the marketing.
All this cool stuff is actually developed, engineered and made in China, Korea and Japan...
We, USA, are exporting grain and corn and are importing high tech parts and devices; that's the definition of a 3rd world country and puts us in a serious dependency to these foreign powers!

[citation][nom]memadmax[/nom]Nice of them to hire 18,000 chinese workers instead of american, as usual....[/citation]
In other news 18,000 Americans moved to China to get jobs in a Foxconn plant, they took an 80% pay cut in the process - now the weather, it's raining on your parade...

Has anyone noticed that if the iPhone is "one size" that not all hands are, whereas Samsung has several handsets are out with varying degrees of size so you can always get one that is right for you.
iPhone Nano, it was a good idea then, it's a good idea now, they could have 3 handsets on the go at once to keep everyone sweet - the Nano, the Classic (3.5") and the Ultimate (4.7"+ to compete with other supersize phones). 3 models is easy to visualise - small, medium, large - and easy to market
But I digress, Apple will never do this, they found the perfect size for all smartphones at the first attempt, you will like it and any dissenters will be rounded up, shot and dumped in mass iGraves

I think Apple just figured that if you didn't like the size of their phones you'd just buy something else. Maybe?
