4.5 inch Apple iPhone 5S coming in 2014?

4.5 inch Apple iPhone 5S coming in 2014?

A report from Japan says that the Apple iPhone 5S will be available in 2014. Besides having a 4.5 inch screen, which is a half inch larger than the glass on the current version of Apple's iconic smartphone, the model will have a polycarbonate body. While that will make the Apple iPhone 5S thicker than the Apple iPhone 5, it might also make it more durable than the current handset. There will be some other changes with the Apple iPhone 5S such as the dual LED flash that will be put one on top of the other on the right side of the camera lens, according to the report.

Will we see the 4.8 inch Apple iPhone Math?

We have seen a confusing number of rumors this year, perhaps more than ever, discussing the successor to the Apple iPhone 5. There has been speculation about a 4.8 inch Apple iPhone Math, and rumors about a version of the phone with a 12MP camera to be released around the holidays. One consistent thread throughout the speculation is that the Apple iPhone 5S will have the A7 processor under the hood, which is the successor to the A6X currently powering the fourth-generation Apple iPad. Oh, we almost forgot one of the most important new features belonging to this rumored version of the Apple iPhone 5S. That would be the tag with a price of $330 on it.

While you do have to take this report with a grain of salt, there is a reason why. If the Apple iPhone 5S won't be released until next year, what version of the Apple iPhone will be released in 2013?

I am no fan of apple either. But they are at least acknowledging that their stubborn insistence on 3.5 inch screens was misguided. Maybe they will truly innovate someday. I still will never get an iPhone for all the reasons we talk about on this site. Even if they came out with a 5 inch screen.

Remember when steve jobs said 3.5 inch is perfect screen size for phone and 9.7 is ideal for tablet ?

I liked the wide screen on the iPhone a lot 16:9 aspect ratio . Why you fanboys no complain when Samsung went from WVGA to wide screen in Galaxy s3 ?

One think that I don't like about my GS2 is that rivals like ARC S and Sensation have 16:9 aspect ratio while mine doesn't ! So fanboys likes to complain about iPhone 5 getting wide screen , but doesn't complain when Samsung does it ? f**k logic

Screen size is a choice, not a technical achievement.

I think getting a 1080p screen shrunk down to 5" is a technical achievement actually

How many Inch HTC one has? is just a matter of preference. I have an S3 I personally think that size is enough. Any bigger is just way too big!

Screen size is actually an achievement. For customers its a choice. For a company to make a quality screen with high graphics and big is achievement.

lol its the Apple way. Why give you what you want now when they can wait to give you a little bit of it now and wait 2-3 versions of the phone later and make more money?

So they aren't going to release any phone this year? I'm calling bs. This will be named something else as its a cheaper iPhone and the 5s will look just like the 5 with upgraded internals and maybe a camera

Apple need to wait for their fans to have a surgery to EXTEND their thumb. so they can operate the 4.5" with a single hand....

no, if the people extend their thumb size, then they can use the android phones with one hand as well and apple doesn't want that to happen i think they will make 2 phones every year, a big phone and a 4 inch phone, they will run an ad saying that some people have bigger hands and the bigger phone is for them, or maybe they will just make a bigger idevice and call it a phablet
