Imagine for a moment that Tim Cook will present an iPhone with 3.7-, 4.0-, 4.3-or 4.6-inch display (figures, which have already appeared in the rumours about the iPhone 5), and a brand new smartphone tablet with 5-inch screen.

This stunning news was revealed recently. According to their report: “Apple is working on a 5-inch display Retina, which can be used for the iPhone 5 or IPad Mini”. Reports of Japanese manufacturers suggest that this innovation will be ready for release in the light only in 2013.”

Pretty hard to imagine how a 5-inch display fits in the Retina is that Apple will produce in 2012. There are half reasonable arguments in favour of the iPhone 5 with a 5-inch screen, which will be able to leave far behind Samsung Galaxy, yes, and Apple thinks it’s a big screen and hidden stylus – a bold idea that will make them much better than a smartphone. But there is something that puts into question the idea that Steve Jobs is very sceptical about the tablets with a small screen and stylus, as such. It is hard to imagine that Cupertino will be able to break with this ideology is so radically. Moreover, the technical community has not taken a smartphone with a 5-inch screen. Until now raging debate about the fact that even a 4.6-inch screen is too much.

Rumours of a mini iPad appeared just over a year ago, but nobody ever talked about it in terms of the tiny screen of 5 inches, estimates have always been in a 7-inch range. And if the 5-inch iPhone 5 is the public is too massive, five-inch miniature IPad called unnecessarily. Thus, the rumour seems too extravagant to be true. And because the original source of hearing loss – a website in Japanese, it is difficult to make out its validity.

Most of those who are interested in the news about the iPhone and IPad, agree that the 5-inch display on any of these devices would be a strange move that would be completely redefining the technical community on its head. But maybe that’s what Tim Cook hopes to make this year?
