Apple testing iPhones with 6 and 4.8 inch display, what will Samsung do?

According to fresh rumours that are emerging in the tech circle, Apple is working on a 6-inch iPhone. It is also working on other big screen phones “that are as small as 4.8 inches”.

As per a news report in the Wall Street Journal, says Apple has “begun evaluating a plan to offer iPhones with screens ranging from 4.8 inches to as high as 6 inches, people familiar with the matter say”.


Since the company tests different devices and combinations before actually deciding to bring a device into the market, it is yet to be confirmed.  “But people familiar with the company's internal deliberations and plans indicate it appears more willing to move ahead than in years past. Component suppliers say Apple already began testing larger screens for iPhones in recent months. Apple has been particularly interested in recent tests for a 4.8-inch screen, these people say” mentions the news report.

The rumours indicate that the Cupertino giant is finally shifting it strategy to launching multiple devices and offering customers more choices in devices.

After two devices in the Galaxy Mega range this year, at the Samsung Unpacked event the Korean competitor launched the 5.7 inch Note 3. Sony also went in with a 5 inch 20.7 megapixel Xperia Z1 Honami. Local competitors in countries like India are building devices that are gaining an edge over the biggies.

Even if the rumours come out to be true, Apple in no case is expected to release these this year at its Annual launch event. The September 10 event is expected to witness the launch of iPhone 5C and iPhnoe 5S.
