New news about the possible iPhone 5 and iPad 3. This time, the information comes from DigiTimes, where they say they have reliable data from Foxconn's Chinese factories, where these devices are manufactured. According to this, the new Apple terminals would stop using LG's IPS screen, to use a new panel from the Japanese Sharp -something that, on the other hand, has been raised for almost a year.
The novel data would be in the fact that the Japanese company would be supplying screens based on IGZO technology, a system based on liquid crystal -LCD- that the firm adopted at the beginning of the second quarter of last year in order to develop screens capable of developing very remarkable brightness indices with very low energy consumption.
Adoption of this system would be highly meaningful. On the one hand, it could be understood as Apple's failure to install Samsung's AMOLED screens on its devices -in May last year there was talk of a visit by Tim Cook, current CEO of the firm, to Seoul to negotiate the purchase of panels based on this technology - which would have opted for a substitute that, as has been known, achieves similar results.
On the other, these panels would have their meaning in Apple's intentions to get devices endowed with an increasingly prolonged autonomy. And is that the great value of Sharp's IGZO panels would be precisely in the low battery consumption they require, despite the high light emission that they manage to develop.
This would be the technology that is already being used in the iPad 3 assembly line, where the leaked components that we have shown you in a previous information would have come from. Likewise, the iPhone 5 would also have this technology with a view to alleviating the, for many, little autonomy that the apple-phone develops - generally considered the black beast of the different generations of the Apple phone -.
In fact, of Cupertino they intend to shelve in 2012 to the problem of autonomy. From DigiTimes they say that the iPad 3 will carry a battery of no less than 14,000 milliamps, compared to less than 7,000 milliamps that the current generation carries. This, together with the requirements of the supposed new screen, would allow the new tablet to develop more than twice the duration in use compared to what we already know.
And as if that were not enough, we already told you last week that Apple would have patented in the United States a mobile power system based on hydrogen molecules, which is the technology that has been proposed for years as the replacement for the current one, based on lithium ions. In addition to being a cleaner system, it would be able to develop an autonomy that would allow the use of the device for weeks between recharging and recharging. However, its use for this 2012 is not confirmed.
