Update : News !!!


Two weeks ago, we published a report about some of the details of iPhone 5 leaked straight from the component suppliers of iPhone. According to the report, iPhone 5 will feature a 4 inch display. Later in that week, we presented you with a mockup of iPhone with a 4 inch display in same encasement. Quite honestly, that was one of the ugliest products Apple may ever produce and that is what led to the debate if Apple will be using the same encasement or larger.

A Chinese reseller of Apple’s parts has recently published an image of the digitizer panel of what it appears to be 5th generation iPhone’s. The part looks similar to that of iPhone 4 but with a larger cut for display to support 4 inch screen. If the leak is authentic, this may mean Apple is looking forward to fit the screen in the same encasement and your iPhones are probably going to look like this (I am not going to buy one if it does).



Earlier today, we published a report about some of the details of iPhone 5 leaked straight from the component suppliers of iPhone. Surprisingly, based on the report, the Apple’s new iPhone will feature a 4-inch display which will help Apple compete in display size with the counterpart Android sets.

However, inclusion of 4-inch display could be a harder decision than it sounds for both, Apple and the customers. Will the display fit in the current encasement? If not, would you want to buy a bigger iPhone? Our friends at 9to5Mac have drafted a mock-up of how Apple’s new iPhone would look like with a 4-inch display in same encasement.

To me, this sure looks ugly as hell or may be that’s just because it’s a mock-up. If Apple’s recent announcement of $4B investment is in display technology to get it to the edge like that, it sure looks an ugly investment to me. If not, Apple will require bigger encasement for iPhone 5, which is how it’s more likely to be, in my opinion.
