It has been reported that the manufacturers have already started the production process of iPhone5 . According to Digitimes quoting industry sources in Taiwan the work is already on in factories in China.

Most of the rumored reports however indicate that the new phone will have a larger screen with in-cell touch display technology that would make the handset thinner compared to the previous model.
