Testing Bigger iPhone Screens For Future Production? 

"Report: Apple testing bigger iPhone screens" CNN.

In the article hyperlinked above, there has been rumor of Apple testing larger iPhone screens. Rumour has it that these screens are up to 6 inches, which is a huge "step up" from the previous iPhone 5 screen (4 inches). On Wednesday, Samsung has just released their Galaxy Note 3 which has a screen size of 5.7 inches. There is also debate about whether Apple will be releasing different sizes of iPhones, like Samsung has previously for their Galaxy owners.

In my personal opinion, this testing is strictly a move to get Apple back into the smartphone market. Apple has been really struggling to keep up with Samsung lately. While the iPhones quality is higher, the Galaxy line has larger screens, and a better operating platform. I feel like Apple is the snobby rich kid in the world of smartphones because of the comment Apples CEO, Tim Cook, made in April of this year. "Our competitors have made trade-offs to ship a larger display. We will not ship a larger display iPhone while these trade-offs exist." Who says that, and then goes and tests larger screens? Can you say desperate? My final thoughts are that testing iPhone screens to a larger scale has been way over due.
