Another day another report eh? According to a new report published today the iPhone 5 will have a 3.7-inch edge to edge display which is 0.2-inches bigger than the iPhone 4′s 3.5-inch display. This will be done by thinning down the bezel of the phone.
The guys over had Digitimes had the following to say:
Despite rumors about iPhone 5 featuring a 4.2-inch panel circulating within the IT market for a while, following a leak from Apple’s website in Switzerland in early August, sources from upstream panel suppliers have recently revealed that the iPhone 5′s panel size will still be less than 4-inch.
In addition, iPhone 5′s back design will be changed to a metal chassis instead of reinforced-glasses.
The sources added that the iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger.
This completely nullifies the previous rumor of the iPhone 4 getting a 4.2-inch+ display. With phone screens getting bigger and bigger will Apple be able to make the aforementioned smaller screened iPhone 5 a success? And again folks take the report with a grain of salt.
