iPhone 5 Out This Summer, Larger Screen [Rumor]


The iPhone 5 is rumored to be available this summer, sticking with previous reports that the next generation smartphone will be out this year. This is a rumor of course and while there are many on the subject of Apple, it’s to be taken with a grain of salt until we get more details.

The iPhone 4S was recently released back in October and has gone on to be one of the best selling smartphones of all time in the tech giant’s history. A summer release is very early, but even if that doesn’t happen, a fall release won’t be surprising at all.

Specs are a bit scarce at the moment, but Mashable has some details:

9to5 Mac reports that a Foxconn worker told them that the next-generation iPhone, tentatively called the iPhone 5, is gearing up for production. According to the report, there are several different samples, each of which varies slightly from the others, so it’s impossible to determine which will be final.”

“However, all the samples sport 4-inch or larger screens, which would finally put the iPhone into the same screen leagues as many of its high-end Android competitors, like the Droid RAZR. That of course means none of the samples have the same compact form factor as the iPhone 4 or 4S. The screen on one of the units is said to be made by LG; there was no screen info for the other samples.”

One of the biggest complaints about the latest smartphone was that the screen remained the same size. Seems that’s to change in the upcoming version.

If it comes with a larger screen, would buy the iPhone 5?
