Next iPhone to feature a 4.6" Retina Display, Apple still mulling its LTE radio pick

3.5 inch : Same s&^* again?!
4.6 inch : Fragmentation, fragmentation everywhere!

and still using same old useless iOS...

Either way it's still a fail, but who cares, it's a fail that will sell...

i can bet with my balls that the iPhone 5 won't have a screen size bigger than 4.3" inches..probably around 3.7"-4.0" but 4.8" is not Apple. They dont do big jumps..

Guess we can now say Apple is copying Samsung :)

rumours to me is something that may be possibly but this is utter bs apple will never go for a screen that big it will probably be 4"max

apple could keep it the exact same size make a couple adjustments with say the camera and millions of people will buy it just to say the have the latest bit of crap.perfect example new ipad

Out of all the rumours going this has to be the most fake of all,there is no way the next iphone will have a 4.6 inch screen.

It says in the article that apple will keep the same screen ratio,then its says the screen will be longer but narrower,which is strange as f it keeps the same screen ratio then the difference between length and width cannot change!! If they do keep the same dated aspect ratio the phone would look horrible with a screen that size without a 16:9 ratio,just look at the new Lg Vu.

Apple rumours of course starting very early this year for a phone probably at least 4-6 months away. iFans starting drooling and saving again

They only need to go to 4". I see zero chance they go this big on a screen. People want a larger screen but not 4.6 or higher.

iPhones will always be 3.5.

It's still selling without having a bigger screen.

4.6" is way to big for a phone screen in general. that would just be stupid. 4.0" would be perfect for the iPhone.

4.6" screen is a risk to big for someone that launches phones no bigger than 3.5" . 4" is more probable, but no bigger than 4.3". Otherwise they will shoot themselves s on the leg.

iSpoke to my contact at Apple and he said, "in keeping with Apple's upgrade policy, the next iPhone will have a 3.6" LCD." He further added that a new accessory cable would be available for the first time ever, for those wanting a larger display, that would mirror the iPhone's display onto your "New" iPad. The bad news I guess is that, you'll have to buy that "New" iPad.

What gives a flying f? We haven't even announced the SGS3 yet, can we talk about actual news?

5.4" just to stick it to Samsung.

im not believing s**t until I see it. Apple will never have a screen bigger than 4in. If you want bigger, they will suggest you get an iPad. I'd say 3.7-4in tops with edge to edge type of screen. #TheEnd

I seriously doubt Apple will EVER put a 4.6" screen on an iPhone. 4" maybe, but not 4.6". I'm calling BS on this one.

I don't see Apple doing a screen that big. LTE I think is a sure thing now that the iPad is LTE.

I believe 4.6" will be true as the screen size.

Here are some facts:

1. Android users have a preference of larger screens, thus the demand for larger smartphone screens are evident. There will be conversion of Android users to iPhone users if this happens.

2. The use of soft keys makes sense given the larger screen size. Apple can make the iPhone 5 slightly larger, without making the phone larger. The home button will include the size of 4.6" form factor, thus giving at least 4.2-4.3" screen size.

3. If the materials only cost $3 more to manufacturer over the 3.5" screen size, Apple should take advantage of the pricing.

4. Developers will not have to accommodate different formats, as iOS6 will allows resolutions from 3.5" - 10" to become universal. Very similar to ICS on Android. Scalable resolution will be evident.

5. Regardless of advanced features and a boring OS, compared to ICS a bigger screen size will be enough to tip the Android users to iOS.

I will never use an iPhone, but I PRAY that they go to a bigger 4.6" screen just so I can witness all the sheep who claimed 3.5" was perfect change their tune.

Like my current girlfriend who claimed my 4" phone was too big and my 4.3" phone was way too big to text with.

I pray for the day that I can rub the 4.6" iPhone 5 in her hypocritical face.
Literally

I for one wish that the iPhone actually gets bigger. 3.5" is too small for me.
