iPhone 5 Wont Sport Bigger Display Claims Source
Phones Review Quickie: Up until now the speculation and rumours have all had the next generation iPhone to sport a bigger display panel of around 4.2 inches it appears that those rumours are untrue and the iPhone 5 is expected to come out to play sporting a 3.5 to 3.7-inch display and not many differences to the current iPhone 4.
According to an article over on Apple Insider by way of DigiTimes
, sources from “upstream panel suppliers” have revealed that the panel size of the iPhone 5 will be “less than 4-inches,” and will “not have many differences,” to the present iOS smartphone.
However one of the main differences according to said sources is that the iPhone 5 will do away with the reinforced glass back found on the iPhone 4 and instead will use a metal chassis on the back of the iPhone 5.
Here’s what the source apparently stated, “ the iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger.”
Previously rumoured specs for the iPhone 5 include “a 4- to 4.2-inch HD touch panel, 8-megapixel camera, Full HD video recording, A5 dual-core processor and new ultra-thin industrial design;” but apparently the source thinks these are based on market expectations for the iPhone 5 and not real specifications.
In the past we have heard many iPhone 5 rumours including that both Sprint and T-Mobile will gain the iPhone 5 along with the next generation iPhone being a global dual mode phone, however obviously everything to do with the iPhone 5 is just guess work until such times as Apple gets all official and comes clean.
So what do our readers think about this latest bit of iPhone 5 news, will you be very disappointed if the iPhone 5 isn’t that much different from the current iPhone 4?

I will be extremely disappointed as ive been waiting for months for it to come to our shops and ive followed every article regarding the new Iphone 5 and its speculated new features
If they don’t up the screen size, apple are going to seriously fall behind.
I have had both the 3GS and 4 but switched to android as I was sick of Apple restrictive nature with their phones, even though I jailbroke mine.
I am currently running a HTC Desire HD and it blows the iPhone away and this is not the latest handset
The HTC Waikiki, Bionic etc will trounce the iphone 5 if it doesn’t up its game to compete.
I am neither an Apple fan boy or an Android fan boy either as I have both in my arsenal.
Ipad 1 (Which the lack of flash is quite restrictive – but the apps do make up for it somewhat)
HTC Desire HD
iMac 27″ i5
I just want tech that does what I want it to…
Not what someone else decides they want me to want it to.
To be honest I think when you get to a 4″ screen it just becomes too large. Phones stop fitting in lots of pockets, it becomes harder to hold, it’s just not something I like. I’d much rather it stay the same, or very slightly larger, size with the ‘padding’ becoming smaller.
