GADGET DESIGNER Apple reportedly is testing a 6in iPhone for release in 2014, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Despite the Cupertino company counting down the days until it will unveil its iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones next week on 10 September, Apple reportedly is already testing next year's handset(s).
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Cupertino, California consumer technology design firm is testing phone devices with screens ranging from 4.8in to 6in, citing sources "familiar with the matter," as the company looks to further challenge archrival Samsung and it's mammoth-screened Galaxy Note range.
Although Apple is testing multiple size screens, it's still unclear whether it is planning to release multiple iPhone handsets next year or is looking to find the sweet spot for what's likely to launch as the iPhone 6.
Apple's next generation flagship smartphone, which is likely to be called the iPhone 5S, isn't expected to sport a larger screen than the present iPhone 5, with speculation claiming that it will feature the same 4in 640x1137 Retina display. In fact, the handset is expected to be an incremental update all around, with online rumours pointing towards a similar phone with a faster processor, an improved camera and better battery life.
The iPhone 5C, however, is expected to showcase something new from Apple, with the handset set to tipped as the company's first dedicated 'low-cost' iPhone. Specifications still remain a mystery, although they are likely to be closer to those of the iPhone 4S than the iPhone 5. We do know, however, that it will launch with Apple's iOS 7 mobile operating system and will arrive in a number of different colour options.
