While Misek's note to investors did not detail precisely why he
believes Apple will stamp a significant 0.8 of an inch onto its exsiting
4-inch display design he did add that the current popularity of
larger-screened smartphones would drive sales and upgrades to
unprecedented levels.
"We think the 85 million iPhones eligible for an upgrade when the cheap iphone 5 cases
launches (we think Apple is targeting Sep 2014) could be boosted by
another 5-10 million from people who skipped the 5S/5C cycle," he
said.Misek's prediction of a larger-screened iPhone isn't exactly new,
we've been hearing about the possibility of a screen expansion pretty
much since the first iPhone.
It materialised in the cheap iphone 5 cases
4-inch screen, up from the 3.5-inches of previous models, but by this
point such a boost was widely regarded as not enough considering the
5-inch behemoths winning massive sales over on the ever
expanding Android share of the smartphone market.Apple's next iPhone,
the iPhone 6, will feature an enlarged 4.8-inch display, according to
predictions from prominent analyst Peter Misek of Jeffries.
The
iPhone 6 will see Apple reduce its dependency of Samsung-built
components, reports from Korea suggest.The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are
here and they’re selling like hot cakes – Apple shifted 9 million last
weekend alone. But there’s still a lot of chatter and expectation
surrounding the company’s next flagship – mostly because it is expected
to be the first iPhone with an Android-sized display. bf2DSs2d
Apple
execs have confirmed that they’re “experimenting” with larger panels
for future iPhones, but so far nothing else is known – at least in an
official capacity – about 2014’s iPhone 6. Although that hasn’t stopped
designers and CAD experts dreaming up visions and ideas about where
Apple could potentially take the design language of its next iPhone.
“Despite
the on-going patent disputes between the two companies and Samsung’s
increased position as Apple’s leading smartphone and tablet rival, the
Galaxy Note 3 producer has supplied the processing unit’s for all of
Apple’s cheap iphone 5 cases handsets to date.
On top of this, Samsung has been used as a component supplier for RAM
modules and display units in the past,” reports Trusted Reviews.
Component
suppliers revealed that Apple is now in the process of testing
large-form displays for the iPhone 6. One source said the company is
very interested –– and rather pleased –– with recent tests conducted
using a 4.8-inch panel.Both Apple's iPhone and iPad continue to remain
popular with U.S. teenagers, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene
Munster's latest semiannual teen survey. 55 percent of teens now own an
iPhone, compared to just 48 percent from a survey conducted in Apriland
40 percent in the fall of 2012.
As for future ownership, 65 percent of teens expect their next phone to be an iphone 5 cases cheap,
up from 62 percent. Of teens that expect to get a tablet in the next
six months, 6 4 percent plan to get an iPad. Android tablets have seen
increasing interest from the younger age group as well, thanks to
low-priced options like the Kindle Fire HD. Though Samsung has attempted
to portray the iPhone as a device for "uncool" parents, Munster's
newest survey suggests that the cheap iphone 5 cases continues to gain market share among teens while Android phones become less popular with the group.
