Bigger and thinner. That’s what the latest reports are saying about the screen on the new Apple iPhone 5.

The Cupertino, Calif., tech giant is already mass-producing the new screens, which will integrate touch capabilities into the LCD and thereby removing the need for a second layer used to make it a touch screen, according to the report. The technology, called in-cell, is about a half-millimeter thinner than what Apple uses now and is also expected to make the overall quality of the iPhone screen better.
