Next Apple iPhone To Have a 4 Inch Display?

Posted by samzenpus on from the more-screen dept.

dkd903 writes "According to reports from Macotakara, Hitachi Displays Ltd and Sony Mobile Display Corporation has started shipping the screens for the iPad 3 and a 4-inch LCD screen for an unnamed iOS device. It would be fairly safe to assume that the 4-inch display will be for the next iPhone – the iPhone 5."

    Four inches should be enough for anyone.

    Look at some of the things that aren't polarizing

    Except it's impossible to have an article about a new device with an LCD panel without it being polarizing, because polarizing is how LCDs work. In order for it not to be polarizing, it'd have to be AMOLED or something.

    The way Apple works, if they did this they would drop the 3.5" model and I wouldn't have a choice if I wanted to stay in the iPhone line.

    They would also advertise a new iPhone with a 4 inch screen as if it was the first phone ever to have a screen bigger than that of the current iPhone.

    I must have missed the article about the government forcing/nudging/encouraging people to do triple-X, and refusing to give money to people who don't. Interesting.

    No, they will still mod you down. But it will take between minutes and weeks for you to realize it has happened.

    You are so right!

    That's why I laugh at my friend's 50" TVs. My 19" one is so much better because the pixel density is so higher!

    Pixel density for the win. Steve Jobs said it was all that mattered. And Steve Jobs can't be wrong.
