3.9-inch screen and increased pixel count for the next iPhone?

Certainly,
l’iPhone 5, or 6 or
new iPhone, In any casethe one we should see coming
in 2012, never stops giving birth torumors.

The one freshly out of the columns of9to5Mac
concerns once againthe screen, its size and its
resolution, key parameters of a very
expected :

So,two new generation iPhone modelswould be
Currentlybeing tested on the Apple campusin Cuppertino with
a versioniOS 6dedicated. At least one of the two
would have a new screen size and changed resolution accordingly.
These two models would be coded N41AP (5.1) and N42AP (5.2).

The screen would no longer be 3.5 inches with a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels
used on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S but wouldlying high for
reach a diagonal of 3.95 inches. As for the number of pixels
displayed, if the width at 640 pixels would be preserved, the number of pixels
displayed in height would be increased to1136 pixels. These are
thus 176 additional pixels which would be available for
the display.

This is closer to a 16/9 format screen instead of the current 4/3 and
would retain the so-called resolution "Retina".

Here is an idea of ​​what such a screen (assembly) would look like:

But what use should you make of this extra space?
?

It still seems according to the same source that the version of iOS 6 in testing
would take advantage of this by displaying an additional row of icons (this takes
with the 176 pixels available: a Retina iPhone icon is 114 x 114,
you also need to add the size for the app name)

On the application side, this would logically be used to display
additional content (higher pages in Safari, native 16:9 videos,
etc …)

Here are some examples of the impact
offered by this site(click to enlarge):

And the best for last 😉

If this is confirmed (and there is no proof that Apple will release such a model,
remember), this may not delight some developers (depending on their
more or less standard coding) which will certainly have to come back to the
applications to adapt them to a higher display and thus manage a
screen size, unless Apple has a trick up its sleeve to
adapting the interface…

To be continued, but2012 vintage of the iPhone could well bring
a bit of novelty as expected!
