Now we know that the iPhone 5s is still pretty much in mid-launch but rumors have already surfaced about the next handset. ETNews has reported that the device is going to have a 5-inch display, which is much more in keeping with the current market trends. The reports also goes on to talk about the iWatch which will reportedly feature a flexible OLED display and more.
Most smartphone vendors are turning out devices with 5-inch+ and even bigger displays but Apple has always stayed faithful to the notion that the consumer prefers a panel that can be held and navigated comfortably with one hand. Indeed, the 3.5-inch display of the original iPhone stayed the same until the launch of the iPhone 5 and while this slight jump up to 4 inches has given iPhone users a little more display, even the iPhone 5s and 5c cut a rather feeble figure when compared to some of the industry's real monsters.
This is not the first time we have heard reports of Apple increasing the size of their display and the Wall Street Journal recently talked about the idea that Apple was thinking about making the display between 5 and 6 inches. If Apple does decide to go with this idea, you can bet that they will keep on of the 4 inch model around for a while so that they can guage just how many consumers are looking to enjoy iOS on an Android sized device.
ETNews also reported on the full-size iPad that will be taking on a similar form fact to the iPad mini when it is released next month. This report also suggests that Apple is planning an 12.9-inch iPad which is due to be released some time during 2014.
Finally, in their report, they included information on the so-called iWatch which will apparently feature a flexible OLED display from LG.
It all sounds great and we can't wait to see how these rumors hold up and if Apple will release any of these products.
