Recently, rumors that talked about Apple releasing an iPhone with a larger screen size, sometimes dubbed the iPhone Plus, have been appearing around the Internet. But how do we reconcile this information with the knowledge that the tech giant is going to launch the iPhone 5S in a couple of months. This smartphone will feature the same Retina Display we’ve seen in the iPhone 5.

An iPhone with a larger display would certainly have to feature a more advanced resolution – a HD Retina Display – in order for the effect of fragmentation to be avoided. And there are some rumors hinting towards the fact that Apple is indeed performing tests on such a technology.

Competitors like Samsung have lately released ground b​​reaking products, viewed from the resolution department and not only – like the Samsung Galaxy S4 which features a 1080P HD display. Here might lie the key to understanding Apple’s efforts – the company is trying to come up with a battle plan to counteract the popularity such smartphones might gain.

Where would Apple start looking if it was planning a HD Retina Display? The CES 2013 proved that the tech giant has some options available. The most obvious is the Retina+ Sharp IGZO display. In Barcelona, techies present at the event were shown a 5-inch smartphone with a Sharp IGZO screen boasting a 720P HD resolution.

If Apple decides to introduce the Retina HD, there’s a possibility that two versions of the smartphone will become available on the market at the same time – the normal sized one and the Retina HD. So Apple doesn’t risk losing customers who like to keep their gadgets smaller.
