One of the rumors that doesn't show any sign of disappearing is the one we have already reported on which is the 5.7 inch iPhone or Phablet as we are calling it. It has been suggested that Apple is going to bring out a larger screened device taht could actually rival Samsung's Galaxy Note.
Apple is currently shipping the iPhone 5 with a 4 inch display which is considerably smaller than Samsung's 5 inch panel that is seen on the Galaxy S4. The extra inch does make for quite a bit more screen and makes full HD display possible. The Galaxy S4 runs at 1920x1080 pixels or 441 pixels per inch whereas the iPhone 5 sits at 1136x640 and 326 pixels per inch. This is quite a difference.
Rumors that Apple's next handset will feature a pocket bursting 5 inch plus display have led to a new concept featuring an iPhone 5.7. We have to admit, we weren't all that keen on the idea of a larger iPhone phablet until we saw this concept and we can honestly say that now we want one.
The concept offers a handset packed with the same resolution screen as Samsung's along with a quad core A7 chip in order to make it easier for iOS 7 to push all those pixels around. Placed side by side with an iPhone 5 showing iOS 7's colorful interface, it is clear that the 5.7 inch iPhone would look stunning. The only question we have is would it be a little bit too big for people to really use.
Being realistic, we think that a 5 inch device would be better than a 5.7 inch one, but with Samsung's Galaxy Note series selling really well, what's to say that Apple won't skip the 5 inch market? Stranger things have happened but like all Apple rumors we have to wait and see. There are so many rumors about what Apple will incorporate into the next iPhone so until we have any official confirmation we really don't know. What do you think, would you like to see a 5.7 inch iPhone?
