Further Consideration Of How Apple Would Make An iPhone With A Bigger Screen

    Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Gruber's argument about a bigger iPhone screen— who's still not entirely convinced it will happen — is that he suspects the physical size of the phone will not be embiggened in the process. Which would seemingly invalidate arguments it's necessary to pack in LTE networking — meaning Apple would be increasing the size solely because it thinks a screen that is 176 pixels larger (according to the rumors) is a better experience, not for any other technical reason, like to pack in a larger chipset and bigger battery.

    Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Gruber's argument about a bigger iPhone screen— who's still not entirely convinced it will happen — is that he suspects the physical size of the phone will not be embiggened in the process. Which would seemingly invalidate arguments it's necessary to pack in LTE networking — meaning Apple would be increasing the size solely because it thinks a screen that is 176 pixels larger (according to the most well-founded rumors) is a better experience, not for any other technical reason, like to pack in a larger chipset and bigger battery. Jesus and I are not sure how firepower much you'd actually get out of so small a change.
