Is this a sign of what the Iphone 5 may be?

4" display, 2MP front, 8MP back camera?

I really hope they keep the 3.5" screen as having screen some mocks of a 4" screen it's ugly.

I'll be happy with 8MP camera though.

I can't see them changing from 3.5" for the reason being if will defragment all the apps which are currently set for a 3.5" display

And there's no real gain going to a 4" screen? Samsung Galaxy S is awful.

Would there be a higher resolution display? It could be just bigger pixels. And anyway with that many pixels a bit of antialiasing will make them look ok.

The Desire HD has a 4.3" screen and is fine.

It's not going to happen. The whole interface is designed for a specific size, and increasing the pixel size would stop it being a retina display.

The iPhone will stay 3.5".

Have you actually read that article? Many of the specs are wrong, the price is wrong, & the language makes it clear it's not serious. It's taking the p***.

Why because it doesn't have a stupid price tag and an apple on it?

Samsung Galaxy is one of the best phones out today FACT!

The screen on the iPhone 5 IS bigger, there's been a leaked photo of the bezel and screen from the person that keeps leaking i product info, and has been right every time for serveral years.

The phone looks ugly though. Most people have said that 4" screen is way to big.

960x640, that's enough pixels to scale-up nicely. Going from 3.5'' to 4.3'' you still get almost 270 ppi. More than enough for such a small screen.
