Among the other advantages of this approach to the creation of touchscreens - more rapid response to the touch screen.

In addition, integrated solution will reduce the weight and thickness of the display, which is especially important if Apple still decides to increase its size. Until now, all versions of the iPhone were equipped with a screen diagonal of 3.5 inches, while the top-end smartphone competition from Android camps are equipped with much larger panels.
