I understand this is MacRumors, but if the report if "the claim is highly unlikely to be true," then why are you posting this as front page news?
Because they did away with Page2
You'd think a site like Bloomberg wouldn't peddle crap from the Far East. This doesn't pass the smell test. They really want people to believe Apple made some last minute change to increase the screen size (if its even possible to do something like that last minute), knowing it would delay the launch of the new phone (when Apple's already gone over half of the year with barely any new products)? We're really supposed to believe that?!?So am I. What they saw if anything was a prototype either for the 6 series or from the 5 that was rejected.
Apple would not be changing things this late in the game.
I suppose it is possible that Apple might skip a '5S' and yes this new size could be legit. But still not a change. They would have decided this ages ago.
Exactly, Apple is too lazy to create a new design in one year, it takes them two...Bull. No way they are gonna redesign completely in one year.
Think about it.
If they increase the size of the screen (in width as the iPhone 5 already had a height increase) then there's two options:
1) They will increase the number of pixels displayed to something like 1136 x 700. This would make almost ALL apps incompatible. Way to piss off the devs that are already having to update for iOS 7.
2) They DECREASE the density of the screen to keep the same number of pixels over the larger area. This would result in a less than Retina quality screen. Not happening.
Calling BS on this too.

I think 4" is just the right size for me.

IMO, 4.3" is the perfect smartphone size.
