Ahead of Release Date, iPhone 5 Particulars Coming into Focus

There appears to be some more changes in store for the iPhone 5.  Digitimes has information from "upstream panel suppliers" stating that the display on the iPhone will have a design to make the screen look larger.  This is an important consideration since their information source suggests that the screen will remain roughly the same size, between 3.5 and 3.7 inches.
