Sharp Slated to Begin iPhone 5S Display Production in June

Will the display on the 5S be different/better than the current one on the iPhone 5? I ask because if wouldn't make sense to make a big deal about how the display for the 5S is going into production in June if it was the same display that's been in production since last year for the 5.
I can see a fingerprint sensor as being extremely useful. Much more than air guitar for the one time in your life you are eating ribs and the president calls and you must answer without wiping your fingers off first.
That is just me. One phone adds a feature for people with fingers, the other for people without. Since I have fingers and use them and have even mastered cleaning them, I am leaning towards the device designed for people with fingers.
If Apple will implement a seamless fingerprint sensor and an improved camera which will kill compact cameras, I think the 5S is going to be pretty big.
Of course, people will say that it's just stolen technology, Apple did not really invent anything, blah blah, but somehow I have a feeling that the 5S will be the new standard which other companies will copy.
Again people, innovation is not about major changes, it's about implementing technology in such a way that it is actually used. Even minor adjustments can lead to huge innovation.
For example push notifications as strokes in iOS 5. Seems minor, right? Still, it's only since iOS 5 that people really started using it allowing apps like Whatsapp and Facebok Messenger to become enormously popular.
Minor adjustments can lead to great leaps.

"cartman gets an apple probe"

or will say a yellow screen is a feature and buch of apple fanboys will love it ;P
Ive been an annual upgrader of the iPhone since the early days. However, at last Ive seen the light. Every two years is fine now with both iPhones and iPads. there just arent enough improvements to justify the spend. iPhone 5 was the biggest waste of money yet for me
Hope so. I'm still on a 3GS and other than the fact the camera is not the best, I've have found nothing in subsequent models to compel me to upgrade.
Here's hoping the 5S is that model
.Android manufacturers do control the software. The Android operating system could easily be, and has been, completely forked into something totally different. Besides, what would Motorola have needed to do with the entire operating system for the Atrix to be of any use?
I do this every year because the battery alone cost almost as much as the difference I pay to get the new model...
I payd 150 euro to upgrade from 4s to 5 after 1 year of intens use of the 4s. The battery was not so good anymore. If you substract the cost of a new battery, you actualy pay less than 100 to get the latest iPhone with a new baterry. For me is wothed and I don't feel like an idiot.[/QUOTE]
If battery health is the issue, wouldn't Apple/Carrier cover the battery expense?

I'm predicting a bucket load of incorrect speculation, people saying if Apples doesnt include xx I'm leaving, bitter complaints about features no one even knows if are included, ranting that Samsung are way ahead, then 5S release and Apple get record sales.
Been there done that

They will try their best to fill it with flashy gimmicks and Ive designed IOS but it's still not going to compete cos of the smaller screen size! I certainly won't buy an upgrade until they do, I see no point in going from the 4s to the 5! When will Apple ever LEARN! they have lost the plot...jeez I wish Steve was still here..
The iPhone 5 was a longer screen. We want 4.7 inches, retina and 1080p video, something which the other phone makers have had for over 6 months now.
Until this day arrives I will not be returning to Apple, for a phone that I feel is gimped with silly fingerprint scanning technology from the 80's.
I'm keeping my iPhone 5 for another year so I don't really have much invested with what Apple does with the 5S hardware. I'm more interested in iOS 7 at this point...
but I just hope the 5S is enough to shut up the pundits and analysts who keep saying Apple is doomed, at least for a few months.

No, YOU want that.
I don't want that.
If you need it now, there are other phones out there, as you say.
if you want a 4.7" iPhone, well there was a rumour for a while that later this year would bring a larger screen, cheaper iPhone. So then you will have your desire.
But remember, not everyone wants a bigger screen.
Fingerprint recognition?
Given the preceding MR news article "German Court Strikes Down Sections of Apple's Privacy Policy". Also taking into account Apples poorly perceived efforts by organisations such as the EFF.

Am I alone in being concerned about the security and safety of having my fingerprint potentially on an Apple database, for whom they decide who they freely share this information with?
If Apple were to announce tomorrow that they were storing all users DNA in a database, I am sure that this would not go down too well. It is potentially a step in the same direction in my mind.

I disagree with your sentiment, I think that would be a really useful feature.
