There have been
numerous rumors claiming that Apple is working on an iPhone with a larger screen to compete with phones from
competitors like Samsung, but Tim Cook's comments during today's Q2 financial results call indicate that the company is not
quite ready to make a phone with a 5-inch screen.
My view
continues to be that iPhone 5 has the best display in the industry. We always
strive to create the very best display. Some customers value large screen size.
Others value other factors such as resolution, color quality, white balance,
reflectivity, power consumption, compatibility of apps, and portability. Our
competitors have made some significant tradeoffs in many of these areas to ship
a larger display. We would not ship a larger display iPhone while these
tradeoffs exist.
It appears that
Apple will not be releasing an iPhone with a larger screen until the company's
manufacturing partners can supply it with a 5-inch screen that meets its
demanding criteria.
