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.
