Rumor: Apple Working on Phablet-Sized iPhone 6
Submitted by Marshall Walker on
Many iOS users, even Donald Trump, have been calling for Apple to release a larger iPhone, and they may get their wish if a report from the Japanese magazine Mac Fan (via Macotakara) can be trusted. The magazine claims Apple is aiming to release a phablet-sized iPhone 6 in September 2014. The new iPhone will feature a 5-inch display with 1,920-by-1,080 resolution and 440 ppi, and the screens will be manufactured by LG Display. Apple's phablet will also be designed to be one-hand operational by featuring a thin as possible display.
This is not the first report published about a possible 5.7-inch iPhone making its debut next year. Analyst David Hsieh believes Apple " is planning to revamp nearly all of the displays in its products over the next year." Hsieh expects Apple to release both a 4.7- and 5.7-inch iPhone 6 in 2014. But KGI Securities’ Ming Chi-Kuo thinks Apple will not cross the 5-inch threshold due to the company’s “unwavering principle of one hand use.”
