Further rumours are adding strength to the expectations that Apple will finally break out of its 4-inch prison and deliver an iPhone handset with a screensize closer to those offered by its increasingly popular rivals.
Apple started with a 3.5-inch screen, and seemingly reluctantly upgraded to a 4-inch model a couple of years ago. However, at the time, rivals were already routinely offering handsets with screen sizes in excess of 5-inches, and even larger phablets.
Apple has started to look increasingly left-behind in the screen size stakes.
Apart from the sheer expanse offered by larger screens, the manufacturer is also able to spread out the electronics, resulting in a flattening of the smartphone to make them ever thinner.
Citing the usual "people familiar with the matter", the Wall Street Journal has added to the rumours by saying that Apple is indeed working on at least two new iPhones that will come with larger screens.
