Apple is reportedly set to launch two iPhones in the second half of 2014 with larger screen displays.
The displays will sport glass with a curvature on the downward edge of the screen. According to a source, the sensors utilized for the display can distinguish heavy or light touches.
The two bigger screens are in different sizes. The first display has a screen size of 4.7 inches while the second has 5.5 inches.
The iPhone with the 5.5-inch display will likely compete directly with Samsung's Galaxy Note 3, which has a 5.7-inch screen and made its launch September this year.
In regards to the curved screen, Samsung was in the forefront with the Galaxy Round device. The 2014 iPhones are expected to premiere in the third quarter next year.
Apple has gradually made progress in developing larger screens for their smartphones. The iPhone 5 introduced the 4-inch screen size for the Apple smartphones in 2012. Although Apple has discontinued the iPhone 5 in favor of the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, the 4-inch screen sizes continue.
Apple has not issued a comment regarding the rumors of the 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch screens.
As Latinos Post reported, Japanese magazine Mac Fan has reported Apple will debut a 5-inch screen in September 2014. Meanwhile, DisplaySearch analyst David Hsieh stated Apple is considering two sets of display-size increases for the iPhone 6, including an improved high-definition resolution, better than the current Retina Display. Hsieh said Apple is testing 4.7-inch panels and 5.7-inch panels with 1,280x720 pixels and 1080p resolution, respectively.
