Supposed iPhone 5 Part Picture Spotted, With Bigger Screen and Thinner Bezel

[Maura]

9to5 Mac has today published the first pictures of what is supposed to be an iPhone 5 part. The pictures surfaced on the website of a Chinese Apple parts reseller, and would appear to be of the iPhone 5’s digitizer panel. It seems to show that the new phone will have a bigger screen, possibly a four-inch display, which as 9to5 Mac says, would give credence to other reports coming from Apple’s manufacturers in Asia that the next iPhone will have a 4-inch screen. The digitizer also has a thinner bezel, both on the left and right sides and at the top and bottom, supporting another recent report that claimed that the new iPhone would have an edge-to-edge display. If the digitizer really is a genuine Apple part, it would seem to back up all those recent reports of Apple working on a complete re-design for the iPhone 5, possibly in a bid to keep pace with the new wave of Android phones with larger screens.

IMO, it doesn't make sense for apple to do this, as it would decrease screen quality, and I don't think apple would take away a feature. But then again, I'm not apple so I cant be certain, but it just doesn't seem something they would do.

If they make a bigger screen apple will make sure it's still 'retina' display. I can't imagine them going backwards...

They definitely won't compromise screen size for quality. If they make the screen bigger, I'm excited for a bigger and seemingly clearer screen!!

They are NOT going to have a higher resolution display, then they would mess up everything for devs. all my money is on this being a hoax.

Still excited to see if the iPhone 5 is gonna live up yo expectations

And I thought they were doing away with the home button?

 

[pigeon]

Heard that too. There are a bunch of speculations haha

 

[Adam2k90]

Wait how would you get a case if the screen goes all the way to the end?

It is either a Photoshop or a badly manufactured part, the black on the camera side is not level.
