In the past, a number of unreleased smartphone designs have been revealed long ahead of their announcements by early protective cases shown off by third-party case makers. Apple is also no stranger to this and we have seen in past how cases for Iphone 5C were released much before the actual announcement of the device.
Looks like Apple is finally going to bite the bullet! After Sticking to 4" Screen size to maintain one hand usability, looks like apple is going to finally increase the screen size of their flagship iPhone 6 to around 4.7". Just a few days back, we had heard another Rumors that the Iphone 6 will launch with a 4.7" screen (389 PPI), with a 0.22" thick Body. The other rumored specs included an improved Camera and 20nm A8 chip from TSMC.
According to images leaked on a Japanese Case maker's blog, Apple's Iphone 6 seems to have a display which is much taller that the previous iterations and also much wider.
This does suggest Apple might actually manage to do the impossible with the iPhone 6 and launch a smartphone with a much larger display that is still comfortable to use with one hand. As Motorola and Google had previously pointed out using various researches that 4.7" is the sweet spot for Mobile handsets, looks like Apple is ready to walk through that path as well. Based on the image of the case, the device seems to be around 4.64". Aside from the larger display, you can see expect thinner bezel on the sides of the screen. Also, a couple of interesting things in the post was that the device will be launched with Sapphire Screen and with 441PPI. I, for one highly doubt that Sapphire glass has become so much cheaper that Apple can launch a device with 4.7 " screen completely made of Sapphire.
This might please some always wanted Apple to release a phone with bigger screen to keep up with its Android rivals but it might just angst its Hardcore loyalists who think Apple should not get involve in the Android phone maker's slug fest and keep it separate from the competitors. Whatever the case might be, Iphone 6 seems to be the most Awaited Apple phone in recent times
