Bloomberg is the third publication after Wall Street Journal and Reuters to confirm that Apple's next generation iPhone will feature a larger screen. Bloomberg also reports that according to their source, Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned next generation iPhone with a larger screen.
Bloomberg reports:
Apple Inc. (AAPL) is preparing to overhaul the look of its iPhone, three people with knowledge of the plans said, refreshing the company’s top-selling product amid competition from rivals such as Samsung Electronics Co. (005930)
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said.
Bloomberg also reports that Apple is trying to make the iPhone more appealing to users who are opting for Android-based smartphones with a larger screen. Samsung has recently launched the next generation of their flagship smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S III with a 4.8-inch screen.
Last year, it was widely speculated that Apple will launch a redesigned iPhone with a larger screen, but Apple ended up launching iPhone 4S, which disappointed quite a few users. Let's hope that this time round the rumors of the next generation iPhone with a larger screen turn out to be accurate.
Apple is expected to launch the next generation iPhone in October, which is rumored to feature an all-new design, come with 1GB RAM, powered by a variant of A5X chip, support 4G LTE network and sport a smaller dock connector.
