One of the most common complaints about the iPhone is the lack of a bigger screen option, but according to multiple rumors, Apple’s next iPhone will feature a larger screen ranging from anywhere between 4.8-inches to 6-inches. Today, a rumor via Japanese news site Macotakara claims that the next iPhone will have a 5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution, at a pixel density of 440 ppi. The device will reportedly be launched in September next year, contradicting an earlier claim from analyst Gene Munster, who said that Apple will release the new iPhone as soon as next summer.
