9to5 Mac reports today that it has heard from its sources in the know that Apple is currently in the process of testing several different versions of the next iPhone, with at least one of the prototypes having a new display. This backs up many recent reports that say that the next iPhone will have a larger display. 9to5 Mac says that the prototype phones that are being tested are kept in thick, locked cases in order to keep their contents secret and prevent leaks. However, it seems from this report that this has not prevented some details from sneaking out about the prototypes. 9to5 Mac reports that two of the test iPhones it has heard about, named as “iPhone 5,1” and “iPhone 5,2”, have larger displays that are 3.95 inches diagonally. Apple has also added more pixels to these displays, which both now have a resolution of 640x1136, which is 176 pixels extra. The screens on both the phones are the same width, but they are longer than previous phones, at 3.45 inches in height. The new screen’s resolution will be of such quality that 16:9 videos can be viewed in full screen. Furthermore, 9to5 Mac says that it has also heard that Apple is in the process of testing iOS 6 builds that are specially tailored for the new iPhone’s display, with some versions sporting a redesigned home screen with five icon rows instead of four, as well as other tweaks.
