Apple just added a new resolution last year, that developers had to adjust to. If there will be a new resolution to support in iOS, it will be for the Retina iPad.
Why should they jump to 1280*720 when the iPhone 4 still is the device with the highest resolution on the market?
So the iPhone 5 display will be 960*640 and have a 3:2 aspect ratio, what size it will be is another thing to discuss.
Apple marketed the Retina display as a display beyond 300ppi.
With a resolution of 960*640:
3.5": 330ppi
3.6": 320ppi
3.7": 312ppi
3.8": 304ppi
3.9": 296ppi
4.0": 288ppi
If they want to stick to their marketing from last year, the display can only be 3.8" max.

I dont see Apple jumping to anything over 4". They have been happy enough with 3.5" for a while now. If they do adjust it then i think it will be 3.7" or 3.8"
I've read where true 'retina' (depending on how perfect your eye sight is and how far you hold your phone away) is actually around 286.5.
No one is chasing 330ppi because it's a ridiculous standard that's way beyond capacity to even see.
Jeez dude, no need to be an arse. I was just looking for an answer, not your dry comment intended to make me feel stupid. thanks.
