iPhone 5 to feature a bigger 4-inch display?

[wraggster]

Thus far we still know surprisingly little about the next generation iPhone (or iPhone 5 for lack of a better name) expected this summer in keeping with Apple's traditional launch cycle. We've heard (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/14/exclusive-the-future-of-the-ipad-2-iphone-5-and-apple-tv-and/) that the completely redesigned handset will boast a next generation A5 processor and Qualcomm chipset that will unify the CDMA / GSM / UMTS radios. Others have heard that it'll also feature NFC integration (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/25/iphone-5-and-ipad-2-will-come-with-nfc-built-in-suggests-well-c/) along with the possibility of a "universal SIM (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/10/bloomberg-apple-working-on-cheaper-smaller-and-dual-mode-iph/)." But what about the display? How will it size-up to the existing iPhone 4's rather puny 3.5-inch display and the smaller and lighter iPhone model that the Wall Street Journal (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/wsj-corroborates-the-mini-iphone-says-apple-may-make-mobileme-f/) and Bloomberg (http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/10/bloomberg-apple-working-on-cheaper-smaller-and-dual-mode-iph/) say is in the works? Well, ifDigiTimes and its chatty "upstream component suppliers" are to be believed then the next generation iPhone will be sporting a 4-inch display. While DigiTimescan, at times, be a suspect source for Apple information, the idea of a larger 4-inch iPhone flagship to help differentiate itself from a smaller iPhone nano and legacy iPhone 4 (that becomes the budget model (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/10/apple-iphone-3gs-drops-to-49-on-contract-we-pretend-the-timing/)) does make some sense.
