Thinner with a larger screen is something I'm really excited about!
Can't wait to see and own this thing!

How much thinner can a display get and still be tough enough to make a difference?
Cool, I guess.
I qualify my "cool" just because whenever I use my iPhone the last thing I ever think is "Man, I wish this thing was thinner."
My 40-year-old eyes are just hoping the 4" screen rumors are true (and I'm pretty sure they are).
I just hope they dont keep making them thinner for the sake of thinness.
If the LCD is thinner, i just hope they put a larger battery.
I want to be able to slip my iPhone into the pocket of my shirt and not even feel its there.
One day!
I guess they also try to find space for the LTE chip, which is larger than the 3G chips. The battery may be bigger too because LTE needs more power. So I don't think the device will be thinner at all.
I'm the opposite, I love a heavy-ish device so I can know it's there. If I don't feel it, I worry someone has stolen it or I've left it somewhere by accident.. and I already don't feel it's there sometimes.

It better be world ready LTE this time, instead of USA only! There is no way I am paying the premium for LTE if I can't use it (and I want usable LTE in my next phone). I'll just buy a second hand 4S or an Android if I can't use LTE on it.
Another iPhone rumor? It's not even May yet. Where oh where are the Mac news?
Isn't the iPhone already thin enough?
I don't see what making it even thinner would accomplish. In fact, a thinner iPhone may actually be harder to hold comfortably in your hand at this point.
I greatly look forward to duck taping three together in the morning for triple blade shaving goodness.
Does anyone know if there are phones already using this?

Agreed! I'm also outside the US and it has kinda upset me. Even though I couldn't use it because LTE is not so advanced where I live.
The MDM9615 and MDM8215 are designed to pair up with the WTR1605 radio frequency IC and PM8018 power management IC to provide a highly integrated chipset solution. The WTR1605 will be Qualcomms first Radio Transceiver in Wafer Level Package and will be a highly integrated radio transceiver with multi-mode (LTE FDD, LTE TDD, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, GSM) and multi-band support.
Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that its next generation Gobi modem chipsets, the MDM8225, MDM9225 and MDM9625 chipsets, will begin sampling in Q4 2012 and will be the first to support both HSPA+ Release 10 and the next-generation of the LTE mobile broadband standard, LTE Advanced.
Cool, I guess.

It will.

Next iPhone after that (2013) will probably support LTE Adv.
