We've heard a lot of rumors about the iPhone 5 lately, from camera specs to release dates to ultra-thin mockups. But if you think you know all the scuttlebutt about Apple's future plans, you're not looking far enough ahead.
Already, the rumor mill is churning for the iPhone 6--no, seriously. According to Japan's Nikkan newspaper, the iPhone 6 will feature a new kind of LCD display with "low-temperature polysilicon" technology, allowing for a lighter, thinner phone that consumes less power than its predecessors. (Expect Apple to call it the "Insanely Great Super Retina Display" or something similar.)
As AppleInsider explains, a so-called "p-Si LCD" allows manufacturers to put optical sensors, signal processors and other circuits directly on the glass substrate. This would save space inside the phone body by reducing the size of the display's thin-film transistor.
