Michal Ždanský The iPhone clearly has the smallest display among its competitors. While in 2007 it was one of the largest, today we can also see six-inch phones (even up to 6,3″– Samsung Mega), which are categorized as phablets. I certainly don't expect Apple to introduce a phablet, however, the option to enlarge the display, not only vertically, is here. Tim Cook said on the penultimate conference call announcing financial results that Apple refuses to make an iPhone with a larger screen at the cost of increasing the dimensions so much that the phone cannot be operated with one hand. The compromises are too great. There is only one way that does not compromise, and that is to reduce the bezel around the display.
This step is no longer just theoretical, the technology exists for it. She revealed the company less than a year ago AU Optronics, incidentally one of the display suppliers for Apple, prototype phone with new touch panel integration technology. This made it possible to reduce the frame on the sides of the phone to just one millimeter. The current iPhone 5 has a frame less than three millimeters wide, Apple would gain almost two millimeters on both sides thanks to this technology. Now let's use some math. For our calculation, we will count on a conservative three centimeters.
The width of the iPhone 5 display is 51,6 millimeters, with an extra three millimeters we would get to 54,5 mm. By a simple calculation using the ratio, we find that the height of the larger display would be 96,9 mm, and using the Pythagorean theorem, we get the size of the diagonal, which in inches 4,377 inches. What about the display resolution? Calculating the equation with one unknown, we find that at the current resolution and display width of 54,5mm, the fineness of the display would be reduced to 298,3 ppi, just below the threshold at which Apple considers the panel to be a Retina display. By slightly rounding or minimally adjusting the sides, we get to the magical 300 pixels per inch.
Apple could thus, using current technology, release an iPhone with a display of almost 4,38″ while maintaining the identical dimensions of the iPhone 5. The phone would thus remain compact and easy to operate with one hand. I dare not guess whether Apple will release an iPhone with a larger display and whether it will be this year or next year, but I am sure that if it happens, it will go this way.
It's an interesting article, but I think the 5S will come out in the fall with the same look as the 5. I'm more looking forward to the new iPad retina, I think there will be a more radical change this year.
The iPad retina, which has been around for about a year and a half?
No, on the new generation iPad with retina display.
I still don't understand, but so be it
yeah like that... well, I don't know, I think it will be better performance, endurance, blah blah...
I think the edge-to-edge display will cause problems with one-handed operation. While holding the phone, I simultaneously touch the edges of the display and thus activate the touch layer. That would probably not be appropriate behavior. But it looks good :-)
A lot of people condemn this opinion, but I would really like an iPhone with a larger display. I'm not saying a mega device, but I would really like a bigger one. The iPhone 5 is bigger, but aesthetically it reminds me of a noodle, so it would need a little something to the sides :) It hasn't been that long since the rumor that the 5S will have the bigger display and even though it's bullshit, something in me applauded . However, it will be a difficult decision - my 3G is already happy and I'm almost counting the days until it turns on completely and I don't know what to go for - a good compromise would be the "Lite" - it won't be that expensive or just wait for next year , when the probability of a larger display is really high. Hmmm
Well, yes, but the noodle is because of the 16:9 ratio, if they want to keep it, the larger display will still be like a noodle. In addition, the display from edge to edge will be problematic to control, those edges are not there for tech. restrictions, but to be able to grab the phone. Otherwise, they will have to deal with unwanted touches.
Personally, I see the display of my "four" as minimally sufficient, my girlfriend has an Android with 4,5" and if we want to show photos to her grandmother, for example, the iP4 is quite small for that... For a long time I was a staunch opponent of "paddles", but when it spread a lot and a lot of people around have it, I'm starting to notice the huge benefits. However, 5" seems too much to me, in my opinion the 4,5" is optimal.
I would also take around the 4,5"
I think they only came with a bigger display a year ago and they will have no reason to change it. If something comes in the next few years, it will be the absence of a home button or fingerprints, then sometimes an iwatch. I would say that the iPhone 5s will be absolutely the same (hardware changes), the iPhone 5C will be the maximum low cost.
Unwanted touches on the edge will be solved by software;) I'm rather looking forward to the new iPad 5 with a 16:9 retina display. I immediately go to it, my ipad 2 is already starting to crash :(
I still thank God that the iPad doesn't have that stupid aspect ratio. 16:9 is only good for watching movies, but it sucks for reading or browsing the web.
I agree, the iPad 5th generation will definitely not have a 16:9 display, Martin is probably confusing it with the speculation about a smaller frame on the sides like the iPad mini has.
Well, we'll see in the fall ;) it was also said about the iPhone 5 that it will never have 16:9, and then voila 16:9 is better for writing messages, applications suddenly have more space for interaction with the user, everything has become clearer and airier, video and movies are displayed in their entirety on the 16:9 display, but it's already too long to control with one hand, or I have abnormally small hands! Today everything is 16:9, TV, monitors, cameras, cameras, just Instagam is going against the flow :)) don't worry, the iPad will come at 16:9.
PS: On the iPad 2, scrolling on the web (chrome, safari) or Facebook crashes. More computationally demanding animations in JavaScript or CSS3 noticeably rub :( ...I compare with iPhone 5 (it's like heaven and bagpipes) Otherwise satisfaction.
Academic question: during which activities does the iPad 2 crash? He hasn't even slowed down yet..let alone cut me.
Enlarge the display??? Why on earth... I'm already annoyed by how big the iP5 is, it's really difficult to control with one hand...
The concept in the picture looks very nice. Apple could certainly deal with unwanted touches. For me, the size of the iPhone 5 is the maximum possible, then it seems like an outrageous paddle. If the display was enlarged without changing the external dimensions or if the dimensions were reduced, it would be great. But I doubt that we would see similar changes this year.
Sorry, but the article is stupid. The iPhone 5 can no longer be operated with one hand, and it's not about how wide the phone is at all. 3.5″ was fine. 4″ with stretching does not work. And definitely not the 4,377″
I can't control the iPhone with one finger, sometimes I have to stretch my thumb out a lot UNPLEASANTLY.
that's the only reason why I still work on the 4S and I just don't want a bigger display :) I just can't reach the upper left corner, and I believe I'm not alone, so don't let anyone tell me that 4" or 4.3" is too much - every hand is different, and according in my opinion, the 3,5" display could remain...
what are you doing control it beautifully. other smart people who didn't hold it in their hands and just swear
And how will the iPhone be put in the case if it has such thin sides? the case cannot cover the display after all.
frankly, in my opinion, it's bullshit :-D :D
doesn't belong on an iphone case ;)
That's what I thought too, until it broke and I had to shell out another 7 grand for the repair, so yes, it belongs. :)
I'm 30 years old and I haven't dropped a single phone in my life, that also requires being able to handle things and I agree that an iPhone case doesn't belong and besides, it's a consumer item if you bought it (don't take it personally) for installments or whatever For a month, you are looking for other things at the expense of your phone, put it in a case and enjoy it. It's just a matter of advice!
Nez broke me :D he himself, right? :D
“which is 4,377 inches in inches” … correct that :)
I would really like this :)
4″ can still be controlled beautifully with one hand. In almost a year since I've had the iPhone 5, I haven't had a single problem with the controls, and I think the size is absolutely perfect. But extending it to the sides doesn't seem like a very good idea to me, it's an unnecessary increase in the display, which adds to the design of the phone. Hopefully Apple won't go down this road and stick with 4"
well, I can't imagine a ballistic case or other cases
It looks nice, but the 5S will still look identical to the 5.
See you next generation :)
It's not pretty…trimmed…impractical. Like a photo without a frame.
what about frames, I use CLIPRAM and it's much more aesthetic, I want the picture across the entire surface, not bordered by a thick frame, I have the same thing on my TV. DO NOT TAKE FRAMES!!
In any frame, it is more tasteful to have the edge framed, and for the photograph as such it is practical to grip. Most photographers frame or create a frame for the clip just to make the photo stand out.
Without a frame, it is both impractical and unaesthetic. The height blends in with the surroundings, in this case also with the hand
Anyway, it's a matter of taste for each individual.
BTW - why take a picture in your hand, it's supposed to hang, when we're talking about pictures ;)
Because it was equivalent to photos viewed in the hand vs mobile phone held in the hand :)
Ok, you look at the photo in your hand? Do you have photos in a frame? :)
Exactly. When someone brought a bunch of vacation photos or a box full of photos was pulled out, it was always looked at in the hand. You probably don't know that. Why can't I frame them? So many people have them and imagine they sell them in the store too and they are much cheaper than the clip I also use. Depending on what fits where :)
That's exactly what I meant, Someone brings a bunch of vacation photos. So you have exactly that bunch in frames? Probably not, huh? ;) And we're home.
And make a frame line for the photo, when the picture goes into the clip anyway :D what to write about it.
I also have a TV and monitor with a minimal frame, so that, as you say, the image stands out and a 5 cm frame does not take up my space ;) for what? I ask.
But whatever he wants, of course ;)
Besides, we are talking about the phone, not about pictures or photos. The phone is not mainly intended for viewing pictures, at least I don't feel that way ;)
Hello again sometime for a spirited conversation ;)
But those photos have a white frame and don't have to be physical :D
You don't have to put it on the article, it's just from a server dedicated to photography, so it's completely irrelevant :)
Yes, the phone is just like a digital frame or paper for pictures, and a frame is used everywhere to make it look aesthetic :)
I like it without a frame, and the fact that you will try to assert yours here will not change my opinion ;)
The clip has an entire surface of glass, and under that glass there should be a photo of an adequate size, which is the entire surface ;) Frames are useful, but if you like them, you like them, I don't have a problem with that ;) and that's enough about the frames. If the 6 looked like this, I won't be angry and I'll probably buy it..
And why am I painting this with you anyway. I have better things to do, like making frames :D. To your taste :D
Because it's a discussion :) it's also a matter of taste anyway. I won't buy you a frameless one, but please play with it on your computer sometime. I haven't done them before either. See you later.
I'm not pushing anything. I am just discussing and trying to explain to you what the essence of the frame is, why it has always been used and why I prefer it in the case of a phone. And maybe only 2 mm is enough. And the fact that how the clip is used correctly is your business. Of course, I do not claim that the frame fits everywhere, but there is a minimum where it does not fit. If the use would be, for example, to put a mobile phone without a frame next to me, then OK, but since it is a personal thing normally covered by fingers, it is stupid.
Yeah, well, you can print photos from the store (any format) and then frame them :D they must be nice photos :D I'm a supporter of having a 15×10 photo should be 15×10, don't stuff something in there ramecek. That's all from my side.
Basically, I don't take PDI photos, but at least A4, so the few mm won't kill me. Then I understand why you save so much on the frame :)
Do you share vacation photos in A4 format? I'd like to see that album and by the way (don't you know) it's spelled with soft, damn man ;)
But let's leave it at that, everyone has the right to have their own taste, okay? ;)
Of course not from vacation. They usually only stay on the disk if they are not worth it. Of course I change it :D and if I've messed up like that somewhere, it's a shame.
You do not have framing in the clip, whether it is part of the photo or the clip? Most of the time it was done that way :) you probably live on a different planet with different tastes. It's just that a crisp picture doesn't make the same impression as with a frame. I hope you have already compared it :)
You are completely out of line with the TV and monitor :D there, the frame can never take up the image, but the maximum space around it, and no one claimed that it had to be 5 cm, I wrote about a decent frame, but always. And sometimes a wide one is also useful. 20 cm frames are also made for small photos to make them stand out, but you probably don't know that.
And on top of that, do I have a link to an article about Saudek? That's really funny :D
51,6 + 4 = 53,5 stitches
So if you discussed and improved the dimensions of the spade, humanity would definitely move forward.
I like it in the picture, I would take it, but in SW they would have to allow for unwanted touches on the sides (which they would certainly do). It is clear that it would be less practical to control, but that is also the iPhone 5 compared to its predecessors. I have a very large hand, but even so I have to admit that the ergonomics of the five have gone down and have to be held slightly differently. Anyone who has lived with iPhones for several years will confirm this. Still, the larger display is nice and I like it.
Beautiful piece, this is how I imagine the iPhone 6,5, I will skip it, but I will 6% buy the 100 if it looks like this.
If you like this, buy something from Samsung (you need a Samsung Mega), Apple is not for you, you don't understand it. :) The quality of a mobile phone is not determined by the size of the display, but rather by the practicality, and the iP5 already has an excessive display and does not fit some people, which I think makes it bad.
Do you think it fell by 5 cm more? That's the point, when it comes to (enlarging the display) and keeping the built-in, are acceptable dimensions that allow one-handed control of the phone (which the phone should allow and which I require), so why not?!
… Samsung for you how to do it…
So Samsung will look like this, so definitely ;)
Apple wants its customers to stop using covers and cases for mobile phones. With this stupid idea, it will definitely succeed, so mobile phones that fall will be destroyed immediately and then new ones will be bought, apple will make a lot of money from it, fuck yeaaaah. I hope Steve is turning in his grave over this and giving himself a good facepalm.
