If Apple made a phablet, I bet it would be 5.7" with a resolution of 1536x1024 (half a retina iPad mini).
By some weird coincidence, Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 sports a 5.7" screen, exactly half the size of the iPad mini screen, even though it has a completely different display technology and resolution. But of course, Samsung would never spy on Apple to know what product they're working on.
So now the Note 3's screen size is copying Apple? Lmao! I love this place.
Three new trolls blocked (or re blocked). The only reasons for which trolls are responded: 1 anger, lacking self-control and 2 a troll supporting another troll.
This article's discussion becomes a waste of time.
Fortunately we have the BLOCK feature at AI or it would have gone marshmallow long time ago.
I can see a 4.5-5" iPhone "math" , but nothing larger than that. It'll be super ridiculous.
4.5-5" is a really great size for a smart phone and I totally expect Apple to get there eventually. I'm not convinced the phablet market is big enough for a company like Apple to target yet, but testing it behind closed doors completely makes sense.
Let's be fair and acknowledge the fact that Apply may be (not is) copying Samsung this time with the phablet.
*Waits for Applefans to portray this the wrong way in 3...2...*
Let's acknowledge that without Apple there would be no Samsung smartphone, or Phablet. Apple singlehandedly created an entire new genre of objects. All the infrastructure was already there but no one knew how to make it work. Without iOS, Android would not have been invented.
A friend of mine has a Note 2 and I like the size. Although I would never buy an Android device, I would be interested in a 4.8" iPhablet. As for all the comments of Apple copying Android based on screen size. I wouldn't call it copying. I would call it Apple is considering entering the phablet space after seeing how successful the Note 2 and Note 3 is. Apple will then design a device to their own standards, not anyone else's.

Did I say that the Note 3's screen size is copying Apple? No I didn't. Don't put words in my mouth that I haven't said.
There was no particular reason for them to choose 5.7" over 5.6" or 5.8", I'm just saying that it's a strange coincidence that they've chosen a size which is exactly half the size of the iPad mini screen. I'm not accusing them of anything, I'm just having fun speculating.
If Apple makes a larger iPhone they will need to address the large chin & forehead issue that takes up so much space currently. Here is what I would hope for from Apple.
Apple needs to get their own ideas.. First they copy Android and now they are adding these remote control envy style devices to the market place. They need to imnovate.

I would tend to doubt this if they're moving to a fingerprint scanner in the home button. And I'm sure the forehead and chin are the same size because they like the symmetry of it (It would be interesting to see some nice mockups of a model with only a smaller forehead and same size chin as current to accommodate the current home button).
It'll be double the resolution of today's iPhone, so apps will scale just fine, although some touch targets will look obnoxiously large just as they do on big Androids.
If they were to do that, then I would think it would be on the much larger side of what's being considered (6"?). Otherwise, everything would be tiny (or such a high PPI as to be wasted and not power efficient). Don't know, will be interesting.

A phablet? A phony tablet.
Who gives crap, it's just figuring out what the market wants in terms of screen sizes and figuring out what works technologically and will sell. It's like a monitor size on a desktop or laptop.
I don't think Apple's gonna ship it with a stylus pen. That would be copying. /s
I don't think they are going to orient the home button to a landscape mode and add more capacitive buttons. That would be copying. /s

Every Android device of any screen size is copying Apple, as none of them would ever exist, if not for Apple's iPhone and iPad.

Sure. Say, would you happen to know the definition of the word 'copy'?
Yes. Do you know the definition of the word "proof"?
Oh wait, it's already very evident from past form that you don't.
Bit ironic for someone whose main past-time seems to be calling for it, and claiming other people are liars for having opinions.

Yes.
Recant for us, if you would, the definition, then. Use whatever dictionary you please.

Better hope the software is absolutely 100% perfect, then.

Classic weasel language.
I suspect that your misspelling is slyly intentional, as Y doesn't even use the same finger as E.
Also, I learned a new word today, thanks to this post... tergiversate.
Well, of course they are. Any decent tech company has dozens of active prototypes that are tested for years before a decision is made to go to market.
NEWS ALERT Sony testing various size TVs NEWS ALERT

No, no, no. Clearly this is a subject that requires pissing contests, name-calling and butthurt feelings. /s
