Opinion: Apple Will not Noticeably Increase The iPhone 5's Display Size

By Fausto Mendez


As normal, tons of rumours and "information leaks" related to Apple's next-generation smartphone will crowd the headlines until that unavoidable day arrives, and the same is sure to happen with the successor to the iPhone 5. Though there's a lot of folks that would adore an iPhone with a noticeably bigger display, that likely will not occur. I can't talk for the distant, distant future, but I can confidently say that Apple won't increase the display size (by much if at all) of the iPhone 5.

Below, I explain three critical reasons.

1. The existing iPhone sports a 3.5-inch display, which is a great size for the majority of folk under six feet of height. Of course, we are talking about a smartphone display, so you have got to consider all of the factors that make a smartphone display great. First off, it should be possible to use any smartphone with just one hand. Folks are known to use smartphones with just one hand, but anything much bigger than 3.5 inches would make that not possible. Additionally, the 3.5-inch display has proven to be the most well-liked display size on the planet so it would not be wise to mend what isn't damaged.

2. A larger display requires a higher resolution. The iPhone's high-resolution display features a stupid pixel density. As usual, display costs are falling, so we are bound to see a major increase in resolution eventually. But Apple would not make it a little jump in pixel density, so it'd possibly be a large upgrade (like the iPad 3's display). That implies it'd be very costly to produce, and it is pretty damn pricey to turn out the iPhone.

3. As we expained in point 2, to incrase the display size would require that Apple also increase the display resolution, but Apple probably cannot make it economically feasible to properly double the resolution. Bear in mind that its better to double the resolution to make really easy for app developers to update their programmes to function with the new display directions. It's much tougher to work with random resolutions. If Apple is happy to eat the cost of the display, which is improbable, it'd be required that all developers revamp their programs to function with the new hardware. If Apple doesn't double the display resolution, developers would be working with weird display specs, and that would make Apple's App Store less fascinating to new programmers.
