iPhone 6 Display Resolution Detailed Alongside 128GB Model
The iPhone 6 will feature the biggest display ever seen on an iPhone, but it won’t be the only thing that’s increased…
The iPhone 6 launch just around the corner and the rumours are really – we mean, REALLY – starting to heat up. Just this week we heard talk of more RAM inside at least one of the new iPhones and how both iPhones will feature bigger batteries. Two HUGE things in their own right.
Today’s dual-rumour is just as juicy, though, and concerns the iPhone 6’s display resolution and an oft-rumoured-but-yet-appear new storage option. First up, lets look at the storage news first, which started life China’s Weibo as a leak and has since spread like wild fire throughout the tech community.
G For Games got the initial scoop and reported the following: “in a nutshell, the guys over at GeekBar (a phone repair company) reportedly unearthed a new schematic for the iPhone 6, which suggests that the upcoming flagship phone will sport 128 GB of storage. Oddly enough though, the 32 GB model seems to be missing in action”.
Make of that what you will…
The second BIG news relates to the iPhone 6’s display resolution and comes via one of the internet’s most reliable Apple sages, Mark Gurnam over at 9to5Mac. “Instead of retaining the current resolution,” writes Gurnam, “sources familiar with the testing of at least one next-generation iPhone model say that Apple plans to scale the next iPhone display with a pixel-tripling (3X) mode.
This means that Apple will likely be tripling the aforementioned “base resolution” (568 x 320) of the iPhone screen in both directions, and that the iPhone screen resolution will be scaled with an increase of 150% from the current 2X resolution of 1136 x 640.”
However, Gurnam does point out that Apple tests multiple screen configurations at any one time, so this setup could be just one of those currently in testing ahead of the handset’s full scale launch in September.
More news as we get it!
