apparently you're not aware of the innovation that went into that new screen. not only is it a higher pixel count, but the LCD is bonded directly on the glass. the glass has been engineered to be 30x stronger than plastic, reportedly stronger "than sapphire" (the gemstone). the IPS provides a better viewing angle than any other phone available today and 800:1 contrast ratio, again the best out there today. the phone is made of a composite steel piece that provides frame structure as well as integrated antennas for phone, wifi and bluetooth.
there are plenty of new technologies that apple developed that went into making this latest phone. things that other hardware manufacturers will now try and copy like they did when the original iphone was released.
as i've said, if it wasn't for apple releasing the iphone 4 years ago we'd still be sitting here with Windows Mobile (a horror that should have never been released on earth), PalmOS smartphones and blackberry's click-wheel.
stustaff, the a5 is already in test stages. it should easily handle next year's screens. and we don't know what else apple has in development with their semiconductor business. they've been acquiring experts in the field right and left.
