iPhone 5 rumours revisited
Friday, May 25, 2012 - 13:15:50
Although it is still months away from launching, the Apple iPhone 5 is the subject of a number of new reports which delve into rumours surrounding the kind of hardware it will feature.
Most expect that Apple will increase the size of the display from the current generation's 3.5 inch screen, with some insiders predicting it will be at least four inches across the diagonal.
However, 9to5Mac has quoted sources from within Apple as saying that the next iPhone will have a screen measuring an incredibly specific 3.999 inches across the diagonal. This is of course as close to four inches as makes no difference, but Apple is always exacting in its features.
The rumours even go so far as to mention that the new screen will have a native resolution of 640x1136 and that it will feature a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. This means that it will have more pixels than the current iPhone 4S' Retina Display, albeit packed into a slightly larger area.
This week has seen another, competing rumour, relating to the size of the new iPhone's display, this time originating from MacRumours.
People who have spent time with the new iPod Touch model, which will presumably mirror much of the hardware found onboard the iPhone 5, since these two ranges have been synchronised from the beginning, claim that a 4.1 inch display is on the cards.
This would, presumably, still allow for a similar resolution, although if Apple wants to be really competitive then it might want to implement a 1280x720 pixel count which matches rival handsets like the Sony Xperia S, Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X.
Since the iPhone 5 will probably not make its first public appearance until September or October, this speculation will continue to bubble for months.
