Apple testing larger iPhone screen and 13’’ iPad

Apple is testing larger screens for its smartphones and tablets as it attempts to answer increasing concerns about its product lineup and competition from Samsung Electronics. In a new report, Apple is said to experiment with 13-inch screen iPad and larger iPhone in order to reach an even wider audience of customers.

An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment. Reuters earlier reported Apple was investigating larger screen sizes for its iPhone.

Apple already increased the size of the iPhone display from 3.5 inches to 4 inches with the launch of the iPhone 5 in 2012. The company boasted that by making the new screen taller but not wider, it can still be used with one hand.

But even at 4 inches, Apple's iPhone 5 remains one of the smaller smartphone displays on the market. For example, Samsung's new flagship Galaxy S4 features a 4.8-inch AMOLED screen. It seems that people tend to choose large screens because this makes the phone easy to watch movies and do other things.   

Apple is expected to launch a redesigned full-size iPad later this year, but it's believed that device will sport the same size 9.7-inch screen as every iPad that has come before it. A 13-inch iPad would put it in a similar class with the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, both of which are available with 13.3-inch screens.

If this becomes true, Apple will become more popular and its products will get a good sale too. We look forward to it.

With larger iPhone and iPad, it is easy and convenient for us to watch movies on mobile devices. I recommend you a videoplayer, which supports Blu-ray, DVD, and any HD video formats. It is also compatible with Mac OS X and Windows OS. Add cutting-edge technologies like DTS 5.1. Deliver the ultimate home theater experience. With navigation menu and online broadcast functions. Incredibly powerful but remarkably simple, that's iReal for real.
