iPhone 5 rumor rollup for the week ending March 23

23.03.2012

"Apple has decided on the bigger 4.6-inch display for its next iPhone and started placing orders to its suppliers, the Maeil Business Newspaper said, quoting an unnamed industry source."

That was enough to set TechnoBuffalo's Todd Haselton "."

"The whole reason I'm writing this article is because the idea of a bigger screen on an iPhone had me salivating," he posted. "I just can't get on board with the 3.5-inch screen on the current model. I used to love it ... [But] I've just grown tired of the screen in comparison to Samsung's Super AMOLED HD displays and other screens found on high-end smartphones from HTC and LG. A 4.6-inch Retina Display will definitely grab my attention all over again."

Perhaps not for long, though. As John Gruber at pointed out, "no one seems to be pointing out that if it's true, this new iPhone would need way more pixels than the current 960?×?640 iPhone display. ... That means every app in the App Store would need to be redesigned/resized."
