DigiTimes dispels rumors of a 4-inch iPhone 5 display but says the panel could get slightly bigger, which combined with a thinner bezel, will make the screen look larger.
The rumored specifications of iPhone 5 include a 4- to 4.2-inch HD touch panel, 8-megapixel camera, Full HD video recording, A5 dual-core processor and new ultra-thin industrial design; however, the sources believe that the leaked specifications are rather the market's expectations for iPhone 5. The sources pointed out that the upcoming iPhone will not have many differences compared to iPhone 4 in terms of components and the panel will still be less than 4-inch.
The sources added that the iPhone 5 will adopt a 3.5- to 3.7-inch panel with a design to allow the bezel of the panel to become thinner and make the screen look larger.
In addition the site predicts the iPhone 5's back will be changed to a metal chassis instead of reinforced-glasses.

4" is sure way better than 3.5" and 3.7".. Too bad apple wouldn't adopt this as what people are expecting.. Huh!! What a waste of time..

Just release iPhone 5 now. 3.7 or 4.7 doesn't matter, it's just frustrating if I have to wait until October!
