iPhone 5 screen surfaces - suggests thinner bezel
There have been several rumours that the iPhone 5 will have a bigger screen size, with some suggesting that it will feature an edge-to-edge display. And, according to a pic appearing on a Chinese website (which deals in and resells iPhone parts), that could be the case.
The picture shows what is claimed to be the digitiser panel of a fifth gen iPhone, and if genuine, the bezel is markedly thinner than the one on the iPhone 4. It therefore allows for a larger display within the same sized body as the current generation handset. Indeed, it matches other suggestions circulating around the web that the iPhone 5 will feature a 4-inch screen.
Obviously, it's early days yet, and we're pretty sure that Cupertino has its hands full prepping the launch of the iPad 2 (on Wednesday), so it could be some time before we see whether this sheet of plastic ever makes it onto a device.
There's no point hanging around in Californian bars just yet.
