Apple to launch 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones in 2014

Ever since Android smartphones broke the 4-inch and 5-inch screen size barriers, people are asking when Apple will do the same with their iPhone. Seems like it’s finally going to happen as reports say that a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone are slated to launch next year.

Bloomberg reports that Apple will continue the trend of launching two iPhones and will introduce two models next year – one with a 4.7-inch screen and another with a 5.5-inch screen.

Although Apple may look like it’s “catching up” in terms of display sizes, the company will introduce more innovative components in its upcoming iPhones like displays with “glass that curves at the edges” which is expected to be featured in the iPhone 6, and “enhanced sensors that can detect different levels of pressure” for the iPhone 7.

Bloomberg’s source say that upcoming iPhones are still in development but are expected to launch in the 3rd-quarter of 2014.

Rumors and concepts lang. Unless meron siyang concept na better than S pen for 5.5 inch phone, wala siyang say kay samsung pagdating sa phablets.

Winner iphone pag kaya pa niya palakihin screen without sacrificing compact form niya. Walang android na compact na may magandang specs except kay Motorola.

Sabi ng nasirang Steve Jobs :

”3.5 inches is just about the right size”

Pinagpipilitan pa kasi ng Apple yung kanilang ”One-handed Operation” ek ek argument ..eh pag nag pinch to zoom ka talagang dalawang kamay naman ang gagamitin mo.

One-handed operation are best suited for keyboard-type 2 inch dumb phones, like the Nokias and Blackberries.

Now Finally …Apple just came down to planet earth realizing that 4 inches don’t cut it anymore.

Hopeful for a long lasting battery. That is the biggest concern for iphones aside from their miniscule display size.

well if this is true, the competition get’s tougher and tougher.

Everyone naman is playing some sort of catch-up game, hindi na lang sa design or screen size, kahit sa materials, OS, basically features.

i still find my iphone 5 size right for basic one hand use such as text, browsing (without too much zooming, although i already discovered a way on how to do so with one hand) and such.

but of course, as an applefantard, ishit, or whatever you call those apple fanatics, this will be AWESOME!

hahaha. all the more reason not the diss our beloved APPLE. :D

Just bought the new iphone and what I could say it’s really superb, smooth, pleasing to the eyes. Satisfaction guarantee, no software hang-ups. I used to be an android user for 3 years and counting now, though I still have android devices on my desk; however,I prefer to play with the iphone and surf through it since it’s much smoother and convenient particularly streaming tv series. Kudos to Steve Jobs and his visions for a superb phone. No wonder why the iphone has a higher resale value than my android devices.
