The leaked iPhone 6 front panel that surfaced earlier today fits a 5.1-inch 16:9 display, according to measurements done by East Coast Pixels.
Taking a closer look at the image in comparison to the iPhone 5s, they were able to determine that the display would be 5.07-inches in size diagonally. It also would have a 16:9 aspect ratio, the same ratio used in Apple's current devices.
Keeping the display ratio consistent would make it easier for developers to transition to the larger screen size and allow existing apps to be scaled up with little or no modification.
Previous rumors have predicted that Apple will release a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch device. Take a look at the measurements in the image below and please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for the latest leaks!

If this is true then it's awesome. Slightly longer and wider phone that retains the same shape as the previous is pure genius. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Obviously I'm sure there will be other improvements and I'm hoping better battery is one of those changes.

I have to say to iClarified, why you don't remove this offensive comments on every news or opinions you bring to the public?

If you're on the app, head to the site, then full version to do this, but if not, then just ignore that part or use it to do this: click the large iclarified text, then send them a request from there.

What's so same about it it's more taller than diagonally stretched, plus if this was how it looked for iPhone 5 but smaller version of the phone itself, the screen would be a bit bigger.
