Is this the leaked 5.5 inch screen from the Apple iPhone phablet?

An LCD panel, allegedly belonging to the Apple iPhone phablet, has leaked. Measured at 14cm, the actual size works out to a tad over 5.5 inches. Unfortunately, there are no special markings that would prove that this is from the phone that would be the first iOS powered phablet. Keeping a cynical eye on the photo, and taking this with a grain of salt (after all, this could be a screen from anything), speculation has the phablet launching later this year, in short supply.

There also has been talk that a larger screened iPhone will employ sapphire glass because of its strength and protective qualities. The 5.5 inch glass is expected to feature a resolution of 960 x 1704. An Apple A8 chip will be under the hood and the handset is believed to support VoLTE.
 
Apple is expected to offer the phablet this year, as a way to fight back against the ever increasing size of Android flagship models. Where once a 4.3 inch display was considered humungous, the Samsung Galaxy W was recently released with a 7 inch screen.
