iPhone 6 could be lighter than 5s

With a 4.7-inch and a massive 5.5-inch iPhone versions reportedly in the pipeline, you’d expect both new iPhones to be a tad heavier than the current-gen four-inch iPhone 5s, simply due to a larger and thereby heavier enclosure/screen assembly.

Not so fast.
According to a new report, Apple’s engineers are scrambling to slim down next-generation iPhones by switching to a lighter backlight module and possibly using a lighter device frame, too…
A report from LEDinside, a division of research firm TrendForce, was highlighted earlier today by PatentlyApple. The story quotes sources from Apple’s supply chain as claiming that the iPhone 6 has a much lighter frame and thinner LED backlights.
