iPhone 6: when analysts are frothing with known rumors

Business: Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co offers a new stunt without getting wet, claiming that Apple is developing an iPhone with a larger screen ...

The chronology is known. Once Apple officially launches its new iPhone, rumors about the next models the apple does not take long to fall like autumn leaves.

And as usual, Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co tries to shoot first with exclusive information. The man is known for some pretty shots but many approximations.

This time, the analyst does not really get wet by saying that the iPhone 6 will have a larger screen, 4.8 inches 4 inches cons for current models. Peter Misek is based on sources from certain suppliers Cuppertino firm.

The statement is obviously around the Web but is anything but new. First, it seems logical that Apple makes the iPhone grow, to align with market standards (around 5 inches) and because it is his strategy initiated since the release of the iPhone 5, himself larger than the iPhone 4.

Logic 

Moreover, it seems that Apple is working on the issues for several months now. Last June , Reuters reported that Apple could launch the iPhone in 2014 with a 4.7-inch screen or 5.7 inch The two formats are being tested.

Apple would come and rub to a new market segment growing, that of phablets initiated by Samsung with its Galaxy Note. Suppliers have already been approached, says Reuters.

A month later, the Wall Street Journal in turn evoked an iPhone with a screen of 5.7 inches. And in September, the newspaper returned to the charge, referring to the testing of a model 6-inch screen . 

In short, Peter Misek ads are not the first freshness. Especially as Apple experiments do not necessarily materialize as commercial products. According to WSJ sources, multiple screen sizes are actually being assessed in a range that goes from 4.7 to 6 inches so.

But Apple does he have a choice? A recent IDC report highlights the success in Asia-Pacific terminal whose screen is between 5 and 7 inches. 

In addition, data from a distributor of mobile phones highlights the growing consumer switching to devices equipped with increasingly big screen - even if the standard is 3.6 to 4 inches, which includes the iPhone.
