The technology integrates touch sensors into the LCD, making it unnecessary to have a separate touch-screen layer. The absence of the layer, usually about half a millimeter thick, not only makes the whole screen thinner, but the quality of displayed images would improve, said DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase.

For Apple, the new technology would also simplify the supply chain and help cut costs as it would no longer have to buy touch panels and LCD panels from separate suppliers.

Der Bildschirm ist die wichtigste iPhone-Hardwarekomponente. Alles was den Bildschirm verbessert, wertet das gesamte Telefon auf.

Gerüchte über „In-Cell“-Touch-Displays schwappten bereits im April aus asiatischen Zulieferkreisen.
