Apple Plans To Launch 4.7 and 5.7 inches iPhones, plus the $99 Model

According to Engadget, citing Reuters, Apple may turn to a major strategic move in 2014. The company could hit the market next year with two new iPhone models which at first glance have nothing to do with the current strategy of the Apple design.

Sources quoted by news agency say that Apple has planned an iPhone with 4.7 inch display, and a 5.7-inch screen device.

If, hypothetically, a 4.7-inch iPhone represents only an alignment of Apple’s consumer demands, the launch of a 5.7-inch phablet seems downright impossible.

What neither Reuters nor those from Engadget did not say is that such a change in product strategy of Apple has high technical implications. Specifically, resolution displays, and their form factor should be at least strange to display already found applications in the App Store, and we are talking about approximately 700,000. In other words, Apple would have to put to work all application developers which would have to rebuild all applications to be compatible with the new resolution of the new device display. And this seems unlikely.

The same sources also said that Apple did not give up (if they ever thought of such a thing …) at the $99 iPhone which would be released throughout 2014. Remains to be seen how serious are the sources quoted by the news agency.
