Check out the video below which shows a dummy model iPhone 6 running a simulated version of iOS made for a 4.7-inch display. The video simply takes a 4.7-inch Moto X and places it behind the bezel of an iPhone 6 dummy unit to give us a representation of what iOS would look like.

I was curious to know exactly how iOS would be represented on a 4.7-inch display, so I decided to make an iPhone 6 simulator. This "simulator" takes the 4.7-inch Moto X and places it behind what is rumored to be the bezel for Apple's upcoming iPhone 6. It has been reported that most of the user-interface will be upscaled with the possibility of certain apps being revamped to take advantage of the extra space.

It has been noted that some apps may end up getting their user-interface simply upscaled, while some apps might see some UI tweaks thanks to the larger screen area to work with. It has also been reported that Apple's next iPhone will feature a resolution of 1704 x 960, giving a 4.7-inch model a PPI of 416, and a 5.5-inch iPhone a 356 PPI.

The iPhone 6 is expected to be announced later this year with a larger screen, an improved camera an upgraded processor, and more.

And faster chip with optical lens and maybe more. We will see at WWDC.

Here we go. Samsung is going to have a field day with this if Apple still doesn't put a 1080p screen in their phone. And for once Samsung will be right to do so. Why use an obscure resolution if you can put a 1080p display in there like all other companies. Make all of the devices a standard 1080p.

Because it may need enough depending on how clear for the screen.
