Apple's sixth-gen iPhone rumored to feature bigger Retina Display

PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple's forthcoming sixth-generation iPhone, launching in Fall 2012, is expected to have a bigger and even sharper Retina Display, according to sources who have spoken with South Korean news media reporting on Thursday, March 22.

According to Fudzilla, the Cupertino, California-based technology giant has apparently decided that its sixth-generation iPhone should have a bigger display than all five of its predecessors, which currently feature 3.5-inch panels with pixels resolutions at 480 x 320 (iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS) and 960 x 640 (iPhone 4, iPhone 4S), respectively. Some of the company's East Asia suppliers are now hinting that Apple's manufacturing teams have placed orders for 4.6-inch displays with LG and Samsung, claiming that the sixth-generation iPhone and iPod touch could very well feature pixel resolutions beyond Apple's conventional 960 x 640 iPhone Retina Display.

The sources are also sure to point out that Samsung currently uses 4.6-inch OLED displays for its flagship Galaxy S II smartphone (480 x 800 resolution), but the pixel-per-inch density is not as high as Apple's 960 x 640 Retina Display.
