Helping Apple keep those claims for the iPhone 5 launch expected in Q3 2012, the latest rumor coming from within Apple's supply chain, is that the next generation iPhone will move to a new "in-cell" touch panel display. This new display technology is lighter and thinner than the Retina displays previously used in iPhone models. Again, this will make it easier to pack the inside of the casing with more hardware, without worrying about the overall weight of the iPhone.
The current displays in the iPhone 4 and 4S involves a layer of sensing glass on the outside of an inner LCD screen. This capacitive touchscreen makes it thicker as it has two layers and an extra step in the assembly line. Moving to the single layer in-cell touch panel would remove a step in production as well, speeding up the manufacturing process. When you manufacture 30 million iPhone devices, saving two seconds becomes a large amount

C'mon people! The 4s is still brand new. Apple fans truly are like rats that never get the cheese and continue to get zapped over and over. Don't ask yourself why Apple has more money than some small countries if you are already planning to trade your 4s in for this new version.....again. Only a company as slick as Apple can convince people they need to upgrade overpriced electronics every year when they can't afford to drive a decent car or pay their bills on time every month. Slick marketing for sure. The old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" should be their slogan for life!
