Size Matters: Supply Chain Whispers Hint At 4.08? 16:9 Display On iPhone 5

It's that time again. Well, who are we kidding? It's always time for iPhone rumors. This one, however, seems to be the rumor that just won't quit. So will the next-gen iPhone have a larger display? According to AppleInsider's supply chain source, Mingchi Kuo (an analyst with KGI), all signs point to yes. He expects the iPhone to be taller, and switch from a 3.5-inch 4:3 display to a "4.08-inch in-cell IPS panel screen with a display resolution of 1,136 x 640 and 500-nit brightness," at an aspect ratio of 16:9. If this is true, Apple will actually be lowering the bar for its Retina display status. The ppi for the rumored display is 320ppi, whereas current iPhone models sport a ppi of 326. Obviously this isn't a huge drop, but I think it's worth noting the concessions Apple may or may not be making to keep up with the Jones. This stands to be the biggest change to the iPhone's design to date, rivaled only by the jump between the 3GS and the iPhone 4, if it turns out to be real. That said, there's quite a bit Apple will have to consider.
