The iPhone 6's ultra-sensitive, transparent, scratch resistant display has started rolling out on production lines.
Sharp is reportedly developing the screen that is thinner, lighter and stronger than any before. It's also up to eight times more sensitive than a traditional capacitive panel - those you'd have seen on almost any smartphone in the last three years.
According to Emirates247, the display is now being produced after pictures of a giant screen appeared on the internet.
The picture shows someone writing with a pencil on the screen and although this could be nothing but a big joke (the screen looks to be running an iteration of Windows) it would certainly be nice to be able to throw away our stylus and use any writing tool on a capacitive display.
Sharp's iPhone 6 display is said to be made from Sapphire glass which is stronger that Gorilla Glass. It's also a lot thinner than a traditional glass screen, meaning the next iteration iPhone could be thinner and would shed some weight.
The leak comes as it has been suggested Samsung will be adding a flexible screen to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that will deem it shatter proof and make it a whole lot lighter.
The iPhone 6 is rumoured to be a completely new spin on the iPhone. Featuring iOS 7 with a new interface designed by Jony Ives, available in a range of colours and with a larger screen than the iPhone 5 (we're hoping around 4.8-inches), it's set to appeal to a wider audience.
In terms of hardware, rumours suggest it'll feature a next-gen quad-core Apple A7 processor. Storage will be in line with the device's predecessors - 16, 32 and 64GB, with a 13-megapixel camera, optimised for better FaceTime integration.
The iPhone 6's release date has been pencilled in for either late 2013 or early 2014 - depending on when Apple can get its act together and manufacturer the device.
