Rumor: the screen of next iPhone will have twice as many pixels

28 May, 2013
That would mean a resolution of about 905 x 1606, which would result in a total of 1.5M surface pixels.

    Apple should reduce the screen size to 3.5" or even 3" in iPhone 6. The smaller the screen, the more Apple Fans love it.

      This is a very bad news to all iphone users because they defended that the right size would be 3.5" and 4" and now trying to change the standard size? Where is apple fanboy here to hear your comment.

        Apple phones are still the best phone around, unlike the slappy adroid that the only advantage over apple is that adroid can use torrent. Nothing more :)

              AnonD-87800, 28 May 2013Hahahaha! That's exactly right! They lost in a smartphone ... moreReally? If you mean by "lost" making about twice the money of any other company then they have indeed lost a long time ago. Remember in the end, it's who is making money, not who has the best technology. I learned that the hard way about 20-some years ago when the technically inferior Mac beat out the Amiga line of computers in the marketplace. Where is the Amiga today? In the sands of time.

                    Prashant, 28 May 2013Anything above 440ppi will look the same.I said the same with the Retina 326ppi resolution when iPhone 4 came to life... but something happened to the people... they want more.. they want 5000 x 5000 dpi on a 5 inch screen. Freud said that man make things the extension of his dick. Thats why bigger cars, bigger phones, bigger TVs... Thats the answer... men feel smaller than others... they want bigger things to show.

                          Why can't they just make a display with "normal resolution" and make the job of devs less annoying?

Espscially when SJ had the nerve to say he was a fan of open standards. Just as long as they were his open standards and he could make money out of them was the bit he neglected to mention.
