Apple readying Galaxy Note 3-sized iPhone: Report


NEW DELHI: Apple is widely expected to launch big-screen iPhones this year and the latest rumour is that the company's first phablet will be nearly as big as Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 in size.
French website Nowhereelse has published an image leaked by a Chinese website showing the dimensions of the upcoming iPhone. The device is 150mm long and 85mm wide, according to the image. This means that the device will be almost similar in size to Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 phablet, which is 151.2mm long and 79.2mm wide.



According to the report, this iPhone's screen size is at least 5-inch. Several reports in the past too have claimed that Apple is working on smartphones with 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens, which are likely to be unveiled in September this year.

Japan Display, a major Apple supplier, unveiled a 5.5-inch display panel with 2K resolution (2560x1440p) earlier this week. This has sparked speculation that the same panel may be used in the upcoming iPhone phablet.

The jump to 2K resolution would be a big one for Apple as iPhones only support 1136x640p resolution. This panel would also mean that the next iPhone would have pixel density of 538ppi, much higher than the 326ppi of Apple's Retina display.

The other rumoured features of iPhone 6 include 10MP camera, scratch-resistant sapphire glass display, bezel-less display, solar charging, health-centric apps and faster Wi-Fi access.
