Could Apple Be Placing Orders For A 4 6 Inch Iphone Retina Display

Reuters relays this.

Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus and HTC’s upcoming HTC One both have 4.6-7 inch 720P displays. The Galaxy Nexus has a 316 PPI which is in Apple’s “Retina Threshold” but is a whole other 16:9 ratio.

But Reuters misses, saying:

Galaxy IIs have displays ranging from 4.3 to 4.5 inches.

We’re not putting a lot of faith in this report, even though we’ve heard that Apple has been considering a bigger display in its next iPhone.. Perhaps Apple is playing a joke on someone.

We polled readers on their screen size preference for the next iPhone.  Results of 60,000 votes, below:
