Rumor: the screen of the next iPhone will have twice as many pixels

"The next iPhone" rumors are an activity popular pastime on the Internet and they vary enormously depending on the plausibility. This last batch comes from the social network of the China Wei Feng and claims that Apple will double the number of pixels for the next iPhone, and that the side panels will be thinner, similar to the iPad mini.

The current iPhone 5 has about 730 000 pixels and 326ppi pixel density. If the rumor is true, the next iPhone will have a display with about 1.5 million pixels and pixel density of 460ppi (assumes a screen size doesn't change). If Apple decides to match current 5 "1080 p droids at 440ppi, the size of the screen can be increased up to 4.2".

Of course, such an approach will be difficult, ranging from the 3 g to the 4, Apple has doubled the number of pixels both horizontally and vertically, effectively quadrupling the number of pixels. Apps that didn t support the new resolution were easily enhanced.

Since the 4 and 4 s 5, Apple has added an additional 176 pixel lines and the apps that do not support the new resolution are just letterboxes with black bars (some still have them).

But in order to double the number of pixels for the next iPhone, Apple must multiply the horizontal and vertical pixel count by a root square 2 (resolution resulting is therefore something like 905 x 1606). Scaling apps to fit will be more difficult this time (or there are black bars on the sides too), so it is unlikely that Apple will go for this solution.

The rumored all-new look for iOS 7 could help somehow, but we will have to wait and see.

The rumor also States that the next iPhone goes into production next month and it will launch in September, which means that we may soon start seeing leaks.
