Apple iPhone 6 will have 4.8-inch screen, says analyst Dave999

Apple stocks rose in the pre-market trading on Monday after well-known Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said in a client note that Apple’s next iPhone 6 could come with a 4.8-inch screen. According to an Associated Press report, Misek said in a client note that “Apple’s suppliers have become more lenient on price, which is helping the company’s gross margin.” He also added that “there is excitement over the iPhone 6 because it will have a 4.8 inch screen.” Misek has also estimated that 85 million iPhones will be eligible for upgrades when the iPhone 6 debuts. The iPhone 6 will launch in September 2014.

Most smartphones these days have a screen size close to 5-inches. However, Apple only increased the size of the iPhone’s screen from 3.5-inches to 4-inches with the iPhone 5. It was predicted earlier that the iPhone 5s launch would also see a 4.8-inch screen iPhone being launched, something that didn’t really turn out to be true. However Misek had earlier predicted that Apple was testing out the 4.8-inch screen throughout 2013, but that the tests didn’t meet Apple’s quality tests and the launch was scaled back to June 2014.

Soooooo... like usual for the last two years, Apple is playing catch-up to Android again. :P Come on, Jolla! Start putting your crap out so you're not left behind!

Ranbaxy, I told apple years ago that they also needed a 5 inch phone. They didn't listen...

Galaxy round is immanent, I'm sure we will see Galaxy disc phone and Galaxy glasses very soon too...
