It is clear that the market prefers a much larger screen size, yet preserves the mobility of it. This is one truth that even iPhone users can’t deny. If Apple is to create a 5inch iPhone, the balance will be tilted to their favour.
An investor’s analyst, Brian Marshall, felt that a larger iPhone will drive significant updates among iPhone users. On top of that, many Android users will be tempted to make that switch to Apple.
Despite recording profits every year, it is a worrying sight for Apple as the speed of growth is decreasing rapidly. On top of that, Brian revealed that more and more iPhone users are giving up on their device. Previously, 9% of them didn’t make an iPhone upgrade. That number has rose to 11%.
Brian added that the rumour where two iPhone 6 variants will be coming later this year is really hopeful. One will be at 4.7 inch in size while the other at 5.5 inch. The bigger iPhone 6 has the potential to raise Apple’s shares to $3 in earnings.
Other investors too are looking forward to a larger iPhone. Pacific Crest’s Andy Greaves hinted that the 4.7inch iPhone will cost $299.
The size increment will be the second time Apple done so. It was first done for the iPhone 5. Then again, KGI Securities revealed that there won’t be an iPhone larger than 5 inch.
