iPhone 6 will have a 4.8inch screen

The next iPhone is being put into production according to Jefferies analyst Peter Misek, and it appears the iPhone 6 will have a 4.8inch screen.

In a message sent to investors last week, Misek said that Apple is testing two new iPhone prototypes. He speculated that the next generation iPhone 6 will have a 4.8-inch screen, which would be 0.8-inches larger than the iPhone 5′s large display.

Backing up previous reports, the analyst also forecast the release of a new low-end iPhone model, saying:

Similar to the iPad mini, we expect a concentrated low-cost iPhone rather than a ‘cheap’ one. Likely specs: polycarbonate case with 4 inch non-Retina display and no LTE.

Apple may launch the fifth generation iPad and second generation iPad mini this March, according to Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White.

Earlier this month it was claimed that Apple has slashed its orders for iPhone 5 components based on weaker than expected consumer demand.
