<p>There's been a lot of chatter all of it rumor mongering, with nothing official coming out of Cupertino that Apple has an iPhone in the developmental pipeline which features a 5-inch display. But could Apple, from a technical standpoint, hit the iPhone with an expanding ray and take the screen to 5-inches?</p><p>I believe it can.</p><p>When the iPhone first debuted in 2007, Apple chose to go with a 3.5-inch display. At the time when smartphones had physical keyboards and everything was crammed into a small display above that keyboard, a 3.5-inch display was huge. It felt more like a having a flat-screen TV in the palm of you hand.</p><p>But times have moved on, and there are smartphones out there with bigger displays than the one found on the iPhone. In an attempt to fend off competition Apple already increased the screen real-estate to 4-inch with the iPhone 5, but a jump to a 5-inch display would be quite an increase.</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/apples-5-inch-iphone-challenge-7000026016/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/hardware/Apple-iPhone-6-to-have-10MP-camera-Report/articleshow/29939887.cms">Apple iPhone 6 to have 10MP camera: Report</a> (Times of India)</p><p><a href="http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/537506/20140206/iphone-6-release-date-confirmed-specs-features.htm">4 Confirmed Specs on iPhone 6 June 2014 Release Date: 5.5-Inch Screen, 64 ...</a> (International Business Times AU)</p><p><a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/265267/iphone-6s-camera-will-get-supercharged-rumor/">How The iPhone 6&#039;s Camera Will Get Supercharged [Rumor]</a> (Cult of Mac)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dw_eT2XoPQHBq0MoyC6bz-m3dr7sM&authuser=0&ned=us">47 additional articles.</a></p>
