Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone later this year with a slimmer screen thanks to updated touch-screen technology, a report said on Tuesday.

The next generation iPhone, referred to by fans as the 'iPhone 5", is being manufactured by Asian component makers, Dow Jones Newswires quoted unnamed sources as saying.

Its panels will use 'in-cell technology' integrating touch sensors into the the liquid crystal displays (LCD), it said.

That makes a separate touch-screen layer unnecessary and reduces the screen thickness by about half a millimetre, Dow Jones quoted DisplaySearch analyst Hiroshi Hayase as saying.
