Analysis: Apple sounds warning bell for smartphone industry

If Apple Inc's weaker-than-expected quarterly result is anything to go by, the global smartphone industry is a lot more vulnerable to economic shocks these days than during the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In developed markets, every other person already owns a smartphone. In emerging markets, penetration rates are much lower, but cheaper phones that cost under $100 are squeezing profit margins.

Apple iPhone 5 to Sport 4.6 inch Retina Display Confirmed by South Korea Media

Here’s good news for all the iPhone lovers. Apple has come up with its next generation ‘iPhone 5’. It may interest you to know that this new generation iPhone will be sporting a huge 4.6-inches retina display screen. Yes, you heard it right!

Is it a Rumor?

This news has been confirmed in the Maeil Business Newspaper issued by South Korea Media Outlet. The statement was quoted on Wednesday evening by Reuters.

Brands like Samsung and LG supply the displays to Apple from their display units. But when asked about the news of supplying 4.6-inch display screens, both the brands decided to stay quiet. Industry reports state that Apple has already placed larger display screen orders to their suppliers.

Till Date this device has the largest screen size in Apple generation

The last release of Apple was iPhone 4S. The 4S model of iPhone had a 3.5-inch display screen that is believed to be an optimal size for one-handed use touch screens. So, as compared to the previous one, the latest generation of iPhone has an inch bigger display screen.

If we peep into the past, Apple had specifically declared that 3.5 inches display screen is an optimum size for a smartphone and the brand (Apple) wouldn’t be contending on display size. That’s the reason every version of iPhone including the latest release i.e. iPhone 4S had a 3.5 inches display screen.

Every year the display sizes of Android SmartPhones have been increasing with some or the other model stepping in to the market. It seems as if even Apple has entered the league. By launching iPhone 5, Apple is sure to give a tough fight to Samsung Galaxy S2 and flagship Galaxy Nexus by Google as these two shares the same display size of 4.6 inches.

What about the Specs and Techs of this New Generation iPhone 5?

Unfortunately, no other details have been leaked out about iPhone 5. The Techs and Specs remain a secret.

Price and Availability:

As per the statement made by Apple, the device will be available in the market by the onset of the second quarter this year. IPhone 4S was announced by Apple last October and it arrived in the market within the time frame. So let’s hope this next generation iPhone 5 will hit the floors soon.
