Apple to beef up iPhone line in 2013, rumor says.
Chinese mobile phone information site Laoyaoba.com is reporting that Apple will release an iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 later this year. The source (translated by BrightWire) is providing the information after apparently spotting the new models at Apple suppliers in the country.
The report suggests that the iPhone 6' display has grown to 5 inches, and is lighter and thinner, though you would expect as much in a new Apple product anyway.
Whether true or not, Apple is being urged to work on a larger iPhone as Samsung has seen success with the bigger Galaxy Note device. It is speculated that Apple would simply stretch out the 640x1136 resolution used by the iPhone 5 to fit a 5-inch display, which would hurt pixel density but would be easier for developers already working on apps for iPhone 5.
