While the possibility of boardinga 5.8-inch screen with
"TouchBar"
in a case the size of the iPhone 7
was mentioned this morning here
, this is a new rumor concerning the
resolution of this screen which has just arrived.

It is once again the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who brings this back from his
sources Apple subcontractor, the screen of this year's high-end iPhone
would have a resolution boosted to reach 521 ppi (dots per inch). It is
a significant leap when we know the so-called Retina resolution of the iPhone 6/6s/7
of 326 ppi and that slightly higher of the Plus models, with 401
ppi.

For this, the so-called iPhone 8 would have a 5.8-inch diagonal screen
(the iPhone Plus has a screen diagonal of 5.5 inches) with full resolution
increased to 2800 x 1242 compared to 1334 × 750 of the iPhone 6/6s/7. But all
this surface would not be used for displaying applications,

lower part remaining reserved for a virtual button area
, has
like theTouchBar of recent MacBook Pros
and part of the border would be inactive.

As a result, the applications would be displayed ona space of 2436 ×
1125 pixels
. This can be seen in the diagram.

To ensure practical compatibility with current displays, from one point
from a developer point of view, Apple could then choose to apply a factor x3 on
so-called “Retina” graphics, instead of the current X2. At the same time, this could
signify the end of the 16/9th aspect of the display for a 21/9th format of
l’image.

All thisnevertheless remains hypothetical at this stage, but one
higher resolution as well as a larger screen surface will be
improvements certainly welcome if they are confirmed. We think
particularly at thevirtual realityviaCardboard type headsets, Who
today showthe limits of the Retina once the screen is displayed
behind lenses
.
