4.8-inch Apple iPhone rumored for June

We advise you to take this rumor with a grain of salt as it is kind of unlikely. Reports indicate that Apple is working on three iPhone models for this year – and that includes the iPhone 5’s successor & the rumored 4.8-inch model.

There are supposed models to be launched by June – an upgrade to the iPhone 5 (presumably the iPhone 5S) & the iPhone Math. We are not sure where “Math” came from as it is indicated that it could only be a codename or a mistranslation; after all, it doesn’t fit with Apple’s naming scheme. Both models are expected to have 8 megapixel cameras.

The third model, on the other hand, is expected to pack an upgraded 12 megapixel sensor. There were no other news on this model except that it will launch near December.

$iPhone Math$

Apple’s suppliers are reported to be already on the move and the aforementioned iPhones are rumored to be nearing production.

A lot of speculation has been made already regarding the next iPhone – and that includes the iPhone Mini as well. To be honest, it’s hard to make sense of all these non-cohesive rumors. If it is indeed true that Apple is working on a 4.8-inch iPhone to compete with the Android flagships, there is going to be quite some cannibalization again on Apple’s own products.

This is a very crucial year for Apple. They are going to lose their competitive advantages if they don’t play their cards right in fighting this war with the other companies. What do you think? Would a 4.8-inch iPhone do the trick?

4″ is enough. Instead of making bigger iphones, they should make something new.
I hope the image above isn’t official yet. Looks like N9.

Looks like Apple will be getting sued by Nokia for design patents.

What would Jobs think? (As he said that 4″s is the optimum size of a mobile phone)

Nonetheless, I think it would be named iPhone5L? iPhoneL?

As usual, iphone is only following the trends set by android phones. Di na sya trendsetter ngayon, bagkus sya na ang sumusunod sa uso. Yung ipad mini, gumaya lang sa mga 7inch android tablets. Nahiya pa, dinagdagan ng .9inch para di daw 7inch lol. Uto uto naman mga fanboys. Yung iphone 5, di yan magiging 4inch kung di dahil sa pina uso ng android na malalaking screens. Samantalang dati, pinagtatawanan ng apple and android kasi ang laki daw ng mga screen at kesyo perfect daw ang 3.5inch nila. Di nako magugulat kung may 4.8inch na iphone. Abangan nalang natin kung paano imamarket ni cook ito at kung anong mga BS nanaman ang pagsasabi nya.

Reported Where?

In any case a bigger screen iphone makes sense, but unless they have something new and innovative to offer…it would still be useless…

I think you guys are overreacting and are also doing no good in mocking the author. I don’t understand what is wrong with exploring the possibilities and even hearing the personal opinions of the consumers. I even believe that guys from Apple itself might be behind the spreading of these rumors so that they would actually hear what the people would say and so that they’d know exactly what move to make.

…..ung nag sulat ng article na to malamang nag basa sa http://www.macrumors.com/….konting basa at konting pag paraphrase and un na may sarili ng article na ipapasa…hays!

“Because the iPhone Math name is highly unusual and does not fit in with Apple’s traditional naming scheme, it is not clear if it is a code name or a potential mistranslation.

China Times says that the larger phone will come equipped with a 4.8-inch screen and an 8-megapixel camera. It is said that it will launch in June alongside an updated iPhone 5, which will also feature an 8-megapixel camera. An additional iPhone update is said to be coming during the holiday season, with a 12-megapixel camera.”

Mobile phones and mobile tablets industries are now too saturated. Apple should venture into new area: Desktop computers to mp3 players to phones to tablets to TV.. YES! TV! Apple should innovate televisions!

Di ko maintindihan yung mga antagonistic sa writer na ito. Di naman niya ito hinulaan. Galing din ito sa ibang rumors site. And the image most probably is another artist rendering. Not from apple. Binabahagi lng nya ang nadinig ok nakita nya.

Anyway thanks for sharing the article. Di ko lang talaga maintindihan yung mga reklamodor at puro pag mamagaling na mga pitasero.

Useless garbage comments.

Takot na maginnovate ang apple. Masyadong playsafe. Yung apple, sumusunod lang sa nakikita nyang may marketability eh. Nkita ng apple na nagustuhan ng tao ang 7in at 4in devices kaya gumawa rin ng ipad mini at iphone 5. Tapos ngayong successful ang s3 at iba pang big screen na android phones, gagawa rin sya ng 4.8in nya. Kaso lang baka pahaba hahahaha. May dagdag na revolutionary 6th at 7th row of icons.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out
pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or
suggestions? Appreciate it
