Rumors are out that Apple’s next generation iPhone, dubbed the iPhone 6 will be using just one brightness enhancement film for its display. This change will allow Apple to decrease the size of the LCD, making it the lightest and thinnest iPhone ever. According to China Times, even though the company is currently using two brightness enhancement films for the iPhone 5s, they may have found a way to use just one film. Although it’ll make the upcoming iPhone the lightest to date, it may make things more challenging for manufacturers.
According to the report spotted by G for Games, Apple will have more supplies to help ensure availability. The company was using Miebea for its backlight enhancing film supplies, however it has been reported that Radiant and OMRON will help supply the new iPhone 6 display as well. The iPhone 6 has been rumored to be as thick as the current iPod Touch, which is only 6.1 millimeters. The current iPhone 5s is 7.6 millimeters, 1.5 millimeters thicker than what the rumored iPhone 6 will be.
It is expected for the next generation iPhone to be completely re-modified with rounded edges, similar to the iPod Touch. It is still a mystery as to when Apple will be launching the next iPhone. But if the company decides to follow previous trends, it is likely it will be unveiled sometime in September. It is however, likely that iOS 8 will be available around the same time as the launch of the upcoming device.
