Here's a mockup of what a larger 4.8-inch iPhone might look like if Apple did decide to manufacture such a device.

Russian site AppleDigger.ru created the mockup and posted it to YouTube today. It's likely inspired by the recent reports that Apple would release a larger display smartphone this year dubbed the iPhone 'Math' or perhaps translated more correctly the 'iPhone+'.

Take a look below...

Definitively a wider screen a the current length would be perfect. Incan wait until they give us option. The smart ones for females and is guys can have the larger ones and we could even see the screen much better as well as all the office documents. Videos and all other leisure apps as well as the business would all be improved and I would certainly NEVER leave apple then. I might leave Sprint though.

Awww. Come on ! A 4.8 inch iphone. Really? It wasn't good enough 6 months ago, but it's a great idea now? That's one of the reasons I left. Nice work Apple!

It wouldn't be because they sell the plastic phones for 99 dollars? Now it's the biggest trade off on Craigslist? Why are you here anyways?

I think new iPhone 4.8 will have a 6 columns and 5 rows. 1) If it keep a same DPI it will have a resolution: 1312 x 816 with 321.89 PPI 2) If it keep a same row col on 4.8 inch DPI will be 1136 x 640 271.64 PPI I prefer second one.

Exactly, the iphone is great for business people and people on the go but there are laid back people or people with poor eyesight that would like something bigger !

People really don't care about the size as much as the news is telling us... Just saying

I do. The general consensus is that about 4.5" is the perfect size. It's not what makes me buy a phone, but if the next iPhone had the ridiculous longer screen of the 5 I won't be buying it.

This is even worse. I like the original 3.5" best. I guess ill stick with iphone 4/4S.

Yes you are right. May be they should provide calling feature in iPad using sim. That's all problem solved. No more iPhone vs. iPad.

I still feel 4" is an ideal size and looks sleek and elegant. As well as easy to carry! Someone got it right there, bigger is not always better!!

Well 4" is certainly better than 3.5"! Nobody wanted a longer screen on the 5. It only benefits video watching which is very low down on the average users priority list. Long screens offer nothing to other uses as everything on screen stays the exact same size without a width increase also.

I think the size of the iPhone 5 is spot on. At the end of the day it's still a phone that you carry with you everywhere, bigger is not always better.

That's why you can choose between what Apple thinks is better (and sells very well) or what anyone else offers. If you think you have no choice it's because you chose to think that.
