imageApple Has Reportedly Ordered 4-inch Screens For Next Generation iPhone

We've heard several rumors that have claimed that Apple will finally launch an iPhone with a larger screen later this year.

Wall Street Journal has just added some credibility to those rumors, as they report that Apple has placed orders for screens measuring "at least 4 inches diagonally" for the next generation iPhone.

    Hell yeah. 4 in. Would be perfect for me but I really can't stand the taller phone without it being a little wider also. It would be awesome if they can just have an edge to edge and change the height without changing or barely changing the size of the phone but seems like it would be hard to do with no extra room what so ever inside the phone. I can hope though.

    I think 4.3 inch would be perfect. It's not a big enough difference for people to opt out for a bigger screen. But 4.0 inches might just be small enough to push those people away still.

    If see the the sim slot, it has exteneded by 3-4mm. Make even 6-7mm wider than before. And than, length will be textened by 10-11mm. It is pretty match with 4" screen

    I had an HD2 with a 4.3" screen. The design made it nearly identical in size to iphone 4/4s however the screen was much larger. It felt perfect!

    You're obviously a little guy. I am an average-sized guy and the galaxy fits fine in my pocket. The iPhone4 is way too small for average-sized and larger men.

    Can we have a seppart catogory for rumors that way only legit stuff is on the main page, not 90% rumors that only 10% happen? that would save tons of time when checking the site after a couple weeks away from it.

    I own both an iPhone 4 and a Galaxy S II, and I definitely find the Galaxy S II easier to use with my big hands. It also fits fine in pockets. The bigger the better in my opinion. I'd happily buy a 5 inch phone (Galaxy Note) if I had the money. When I use the iPhone, my hands cramp because I have to fold my palms in, and I don't think that is acceptable. I'd actually think about buying another iPhone if the 5th gen has a bigger than 4 inch screen. I love certain aspects from both devices. I'm an Android fan boy at heart, but at the end of the day, I have no problem with iPhones.

    Yes you are right sorry for that it is just that I forgot about the US thing that average means BIG cause the truth is more then the average in the US is BIG I do not mean this as an insult I'm just stating the facts. I am 1.82M and weigh 95KG that's pretty average to where I'm from. Doesn't the saying goes: If it's not broken don't fix it? I mean the sales speak for them selves iSell

    I am waiting to find out how big the new iPhone is before I decide on my next phone. I've had an iPhone since they came out but if they don't make the screen bigger, I'll go with the new Samsung Galaxy III. I watched the launch in the UK and while the screen is larger the overall size is almost the same as the current Galaxy II.

    I think that a 4''-4,3'' display would be perfect, thats what I would like to see.
