DisplaySearch has posted what they believe may be the display sizes for the iPhone 6, iWatch, and new iPad. At CES 2014, the firm saw several new display sizes, resolutions, and features which indicate potential industry directions.
The tables below list the new display models we may see in 2014. Of course, not all of the panels listed here will go into mass production, as panel maker strategies can change. But there will be other new models not included here. With so many new panel models launched in 2014, it will be a year for display innovation.
The iPhone 6 is marked as possibly coming in a 4.7-inch 1600x900 version and a 5.5-inch 1920x1080 version. Notably, Reuters has reported that Apple is looking at introducing a 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch iPhone.
For the rumored iWatch, DisplaySearch suggests that Apple could release the device with a 1.3-inch or 1.6-inch 320x320 display. That would be a pixel density of either 348 or 278. Previously, DisplaySearch said that Apple is working on two versions of a smartwatch, a 1.7-inch model for men and a 1.3-inch model for women.
Finally, a new 12.9-inch iPad would potentially feature a 2732x2048 display. Interestingly, the KoreaTimes says that displays for a 12.9-inch iPad are already in production.
Do you think these display sizes are optimal for Apple's future devices? Let us know in the comments!
Hey, let's release a gadget and put an i in the name. iChair, iTv, iWatch, iToilet with iPiss and iShit in it. Just about anything that already exists and give it an LG screen. Last detail is the Apple logo on it for bragging rights.
As much as I love my iPad I must admit that Microsoft is on the right way considering moving from home PCs to tablet PCs and Apple need to follow this concept.
What right way? Computers are screens that stand up in any way and every ports and buttons appear on the side of the keyboard, not the tablet. Plus if I were to carry the "computer" around, would I carry it with one hand while I use with the other, no because it doesn't stand up on it's own.
Do these people really think that Apple uses what's commonly available? Hasn't Apple shown a history for going out on their own? They build in such high volume that they can do things the way Jobs wanted. I don't think Tim has enough time in to know what he will decide though. These news people get on my nerves....they are like football reporters in March. They have to keep creating "news". The truth is, we really have no idea what Apple will do, and just because HTC releases a mini tablet and calls it a phone doesn't mean Apple will. Or a phone with a curved display. It took decades to get from a curved glass CRT to a flat screen LCD. Why go back to curved displays? Stupid. And for these "industry pundits" telling the masses that we need this? That's like fashion designers telling me I need Bell Bottom jeans and polyester leisure suits. Frankly, I love the size and screen on my 5. I don't have any complaints. It does what I want it to do.
absolutely true I really hope and pray that if Apple do come out with a 5 inch iPhone there will also will be a choice of a 4 inch iphone 6 because as I see it a phone is not a tablet and 4 inch is the perfect size.
