The advantage of having 4-inch iPhone 5 display

Rumors wonder around that Apple plans in providing a 4-inch display for the next generation of iPhone. Apart from the fact that it would possess a bigger screen, it’s also predicted to have dual-core A6 chip, 9 MP iSight camera, iOS 6, iCloud, advanced Siri and edge-to-edge display design. Other sources argue that it will provide a new display resolution of 640 x 1152 with the same physical iPhone dimensions to iPhone 4/4S.

The redesign of the iPhone is the first change from 2010 because the last two generations of iPhone looked nearly identical, having a 3.5 inch screen. Bloomberg also notes that Apple Cupertino has made orders in Asia of screens that are bigger than the usual 3.5 inch. The informer remains unknown due to the fact that Apple is very strict when it comes to revealing secret information. Steve Jobs in person is believed to have planned the next generation of iPhone before his death.

Possessing a bigger screen, the user can see more data so there won’t be that much use of scrolling and tapping. For example, if we were to take the Map pictures, the difference is quite visible so you get to have a better perspective over the streets and areas.
