iPhone 5 : What made Apple change the display size of its product?
Just a day left before one of the biggest announcements to be made by the leading smart phone distributor Apple. iPhone 5’s release is being surrounded by many rumours about the new advancements made in the smart phone but Apple wants to keep these rumours a mystery. Though, the chief executive of Apple, Tim Cook had stated earlier that they would reveal more features about their new products rather than keeping it a secret.

Apple has really shown this time, its will to adapt to latest and demanding technology after observing the recent leaks. If you assemble all the information that has been leaked, the new iPhone 5 is expected to have LTE-capability, faster processing speed, larger display, extended battery life, thinner look, enhanced camera and many more that are yet to be announced.
Of these new features, size of the screen is one major change that has been made by Apple in this new version of its smartphone. This is a big step that has been taken by Apple for its iPhone 5, observing its past models. All the previous versions of iPhone had the same screen size but iPhone 5 is going to be a bit different. The truth is that the screen size used by Apple till now is considered to be an ideal screen size for a smart phone, in order to keep it handy and easy to use with a single hand. Even though many of the competitors of Apple have tried various screen sizes as large as 5 inches in their smartphones, Apple has always kept to its conventional screen size. This time, Apple is going to introduce a 4-inch display for its iPhone 5.

One of the main reasons Apple used to keep the screen size to 3.5 inches was the developer community of iPhone. Since the screen size was the same the app developers had little trouble modifying the apps for newer versions, and it is one of the major reasons why the app store provided by Apple is considered to be so extensive and appreciated. Also, Apple is a kind of company that focuses more on utilizable designs in its products, and always keeps in mind that the features provided in its products is accepted by the major part of the population. So, it was very unlikely that Apple would take such a step for iPhone 5.

But, the recent statistics reveals that the current market is demanding for larger screen size as nowadays browsing videos and video chatting has become an essential part of people’s lives. Also, Apple is also improving its video experience in iPhone 5 which in-turn demands for larger screen size at the same time keeping the device accessible. So, a 4 inch display seems very ideal after accounting all the requirements and public demand.
It is also rumoured that the success of Samsung’s Galaxy S III has inspired Apple to increase the size of its screen. iPhone 5 will be taller and thinner than its previous versions overcoming its belief that phones with larger screen size are tough to handle with one hand.

The fact that Apple releases its new model only once a year is a shortcoming and a benefit at the same time. The advantage is that Apple can observe the changes made in the successful products of its competitors and imply them in its new products. But this also shows that Apple is facing more competition than ever which is compelling it to adapt and the same can be seen in its upcoming iPhone 5.
