Apple Rumored to Debut 4.8-Inch 'iPhone Math' in June
Sunday January 20, 2013 8:55 pm PST by Juli Clover
According to new information from the China Times translated by BrightWire,
Apple is planning to release the iPhone 5S alongside a larger phone, deemed
the "iPhone Math" by the report.
Because the iPhone Math name is highly unusual and does not fit in with
Apple's traditional naming scheme, it is not clear if it is a code name or a
potential mistranslation.
China Times says that the larger phone will come equipped with a 4.8-inch
screen and an 8-megapixel camera. It is said that it will launch in June
alongside an updated iPhone 5, which will also feature an 8-megapixel camera
. An additional iPhone update is said to be coming during the holiday season
, with a 12-megapixel camera.
Though the report contains detailed information on suppliers, manufacturers,
and production times, it is difficult to believe that Apple will produce a
bigger iPhone and that the company will release two iPhones in a six month
time frame.
The shipments for components, including touchscreens and cameras, will start
rising significantly in March, and iPhone manufacturers will begin
production in late April. Hence, Apple's suppliers will see major growth in
2Q 2013.
Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. will undertake 90% of the manufacturing
orders, and Largan has received orders for 8 million camera lenses. Fujikura
, Flexium and Zhen Ding will share production orders for printed circuit
boards.
Foxconn Technology and Coxon will provide molding parts for Apple's new
models; Foxlink will continue to offer connectors; Hon Hai Precision's
Microelectronics Technology will start designing 4G network solutions for
Apple.
This is not the first rumor that has featured a larger iPhone. Jeffries
analyst Peter Misek first reported in December that Apple was working on an
iPhone with a 4.8-inch display, but just last week noted that he has seen no
further signs of the device. Digitimes also reported in early January that
Apple was working on a bigger, more affordable iPhone that was targeted
towards emerging markets, and analyst Brian White suggested that Apple might
be considering launching its next iPhone in multiple sizes.
While rumors from the The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg support the
introduction of an additional iPhone at a lower cost, the device is said to
be smaller, not larger.
As we noted the first time the 4.8-inch iPhone rumors emerged, Apple has
just increased the size of the iPhone with the iPhone 5, and may be
reluctant to face the same resolution and pixel density obstacles attempting
to create an even larger iPhone.
