[herzog21]

let's hope it doesn't mean apple will increase the breadth of the phone. a very rectangular iphone 6 is stupid.

Crossing fingers that the screen size will increase!

Very likely 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch sizes, according to rumours so far.

5.5" is the best size to turn their losing table around.

I just hope that the news reports are true. In the end, if Apple decides to stick to the present screen size of 4 inch for iPhone 6 then I'm definitely defecting to the Android camp & get a phone with a larger screen.

I really like iOS but the small screen is really bad for uncles like me....

Actually many switch to android phone because they just need a bigger screen size..

Will definitely go for biggest screen that iPhone 6 offers this year.. Do not mind waiting till sept or later and continue using iPhone 5 for time being..

Virtually all of the rumors pertaining to Apple’s next iPhone center on its ultra-thin design and two screen sizes: 4.7 and 5.5 inches. But up until now, we were kept in the dark as to what screen resolution the larger 5.5-incher might have.

According to a new report by an informed blogger, the iPhone 6 will have a screen resolution of 1,704-by-960 pixels, a marked improvement over the current 1,136-by-640 pixels on the iPhone 5/5s/5c…

The 1,704-by-900 resolution is basically a tripled ‘base’ resolution of 568-by-320 pixels. Before the iPhone 5 came along, the iPhone 4 introduced us to the Retina resolution of 960-by-640 pixels, which itself is a pixel-doubled 480-by-320 resolution found on the non-Retina 3.5-inch original iPhone and the iPhone 3G/3Gs.

The release of the taller iPhone 5 in 2012 has yielded a slight vertical increase from 960 to 1,136 pixels in order to accommodate a fifth row if Home screen icons. The change meant the 568-by-320 resolution became a new ‘base’ resolution of the iPhone 5/5s/5c for developers.

How’s so? Easy, just multiply this base 568-by-320 resolution by a factor of 2 – both horizontally and vertically – and you’ll end up with the Retina-friendly 1,136-by-640 pixels of the iPhone 5/5s/5c.

Couldn't stand the tiny screen on iPhone 5 so I switched to Note 3. Love the size but the phone is so darn big I can't remove it from my pocket when I'm seated.

I think 4.7 sounds just nice. Will have to see the actual thing though.
