Japan Display has announced the development of a 5.5-inch-wide Quad HD (WQHD) display with a resolution of 1440x2560, reports CNET.
Just two days ago, Nikkei Asian Review reported that mass production of LCD panels for the iPhone 6 will start as early as the April-June quarter at Sharp's Kameyama factory, Japan Display's Mobara plant, and at other LG Electronics facilities.
Paul Semenza, a SVP at NPD DisplaySearch, said it's possible the screen could be used in the iPhone 6; however, he offered a few caveats:
"Typically, Apple wants 'first dibs' on the new part, so it's a little surprising that JDI (Japan Display, Inc.) is announcing this now...We don't expect to see the iPhone 6 until 2H 14," he said in response to an email query. There is also a possibility of another spec -- a 4.7" 1,600x900 [display]. As always, Apple runs parallel development programs, to test out which is the best approach or just to try to confuse the rest of the world."

Idc tbh. I just dont like a HUGE ass Phone. I think Apple will Stick with the 4.7 this Fall & then pull out the 5.5 inch during the Holiday Season. Makes sense to me; id do that if i were Apple BUT....we'll see in a Few Months. If they make it and edge to edge display i'd be happy with that.

I read some of these comments and I'm amazed at how people get personal when it comes to debating about a phone. U buy what u like and that's all that matters. Stop acting like its a religion or a cult

It's ironic because there was nothing no one said about religious shit or whatever you compared and it's what your comment points out.

What kind of display picture is that? Either someone cropped out the bezel or it's just 100% screen for the front.

Uh, displays don't come with a bezel. This is a part. Not a finished product.
