The report comes from Brian White who is an analyst from Topeka Capital Markets, who believes we will be seeing the new iPhone by June and possibly by May. White also thinks that it could be offered in five new colors including blue, pink, yellow, silver and slate. It would still be offered in white and black but these new colors could be the punch that consumers are looking for!
As for the screen sizes, it looks as though Apple will offer two different sizes, 3.5-inch and 4-inch displays. Currently, the iPhone 5 has a 4-inch display and the iPhone 3/GS had 3.5-inch displays. Who knows, Apple could surprise us with a larger screen than 4-inches but at this moment it is unclear. The most compelling aspect about different screen sizes is that it allows for competitive pricing by Apple. Everyone has competitors, and with the pressure droids are putting on the iPhone this could be the step Apple needs to take to offer it at lower prices.
As great as all of this might sound, we need to keep in mind that theses are just rumors! Analysts aren’t always accurate and sometimes are flat out wrong. It is Apple we are talking about, they love to keep secrets from us. Until we know more from the source itself….
