Apple's Iphone 5 will have a 4-inch display, say industry sources

Apple's Iphone 5 will be bigger, if rumours coming out of Asia are to believed.

The that its Asian sources slaving away in the dark satanic mills of mainland China producing Steve Jobs' shiny toys will now have to heft around boxes of heavier Iphones.

The reason The INQUIRER somewhat doubts this claim is, beyond the terrible grammar, because Digitimes says, "Apple is interesting in expanding the screen size to 4-inches to support the tablet PC market."

We don't know what four is in Taiwanese but its pretty certain that a 4-inch device is not a tablet unless Jobs thinks he can destroy the demand for 5-inch and 7-inch devices by offering a powerful device that is just a tad smaller.

Having used 5-inch and 7-inch devices, this doesn't sound like a strategy for success to us. While 4-inches does give a much more comfortable viewing experience than the various 3 point something inches displays out there, 5-inch and especially 7-inch displays are simply that much more comfortable compared to 4-inch screens.

Having trashed that claim The INQUIRER would not want to be left out of the herd-like instinct behind most Apple related reporting, so we declare that Iphone 5 could easily be white.
