iPhone 6 With Bigger Screen Rumored for May 2014
Here's another iPhone rumor to chew on.
The typical unnamed sources from the upsteam supply chain have informed DigiTimes that Apple will likely launch the next iPhone in May 2014 that will sport an even larger screen and a 20 nm processor manufactured by TSMC. That would seemingly break the company's current September release schedule, but then again Apple may be moving back to its former summertime release.
In addition to the larger iPhone, sources claim that Apple is working on the previously reported 12.9-inch tablet that's slated for October 2014. They believe that due to Apple and Samsung working on such large devices, their presence may have a huge impact on Ultrabook demand. Throw in an attachable Bluetooth keyboard and the sources could be right.
As we've already heard in prior reports, Apple's large tablet will be manufactured by Quanta Computer. Sources said that Apple is considering both a 12.9-inch and a 13.3-inch panel, but will likely settle on the smaller model. Sources speculate that this device will replace Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air.
News of a larger iPhone in May arrives as Apple finally signs a deal with China Mobile, the world's largest phone company. As part of the agreement, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will be available from China Mobile's retail stores and Apple's own retail stores across mainland China beginning on Friday, January 17, 2014.
The iPhone 5s was be made available for pre-registration from China's official website and customer service hotline "10086" on Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Fortunately for Apple, the deal arrives one month before China's Lunar New Year holiday in late January, one of the country's big gift-buying season.
"Apple has enormous respect for China Mobile and we are excited to begin working together. China is an extremely important market for Apple and our partnership with China Mobile presents us the opportunity to bring iPhone to the customers of the world's largest network," said Tim Cook, Apple CEO.
Apple already sells iPhone devices through two smaller mobile companies in China. The new deal, which went through six years of negotiations, is expected to help Apple battle Samsung and its cheaper Android phones.

About 1/1000000th of their legal department budget.
I like to see in the future that FPGA will replace CPU in parallel processing...
This one will be commonly integrated in most Brodcomm & many other manufacturers SoCs as it's IP.
Theoretical performance is up to Tflops.

There are a couple people here that keep trolling Android-related posts, saying that phones bigger than 4" should come with a backpack. I guess if Apple does it is OK, if only that backpack comes with a fruit on it. LOL
What goes around comes around.
Pretty much the same as console fanboys saying that mods are worthless, just because they never used it and they can't use it. But once apple releases a iphone with a bigger screen they are the first to scream that apple invented the 6" smartphone or whatever.
The bigger the phones are, the bulkier (and sometimes heavier) they'll be. It's just physics. You'll discover that Apple will have the same "problem".
4 grams? I would really love to see that phone.
Borderless design is good for some, but not all, and it favors 2-hand operation (stretching over the edge of the screen with one hand can trigger involuntary touch actions on said edge). Esp. for someone with small hands.

the 5s is under 4 grams, so is the samsung s4 mini and that has a 4.3 inch display? and as long as the 6 stays around the same size with a borderless 5 inch display I dont see why it cant achieve the same weight . edit- meant to say 4 ounces! lmao my bad
