Apple Ordering Screens of 'At Least 4 Inches' for Next-Generation iPhone

The Wall Street Journal Reports that Apple has placed orders for screens measuring "at least 4 inches diagonally" for the next generation iPhone, which is a significant increase in size compared to the old iPhone models.

Apple is reportedly working with LG, Sharp and Japan Display (the newly-merged display businesses of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba) on the new screen.

The Wall Street Journal did not specify what aspect ratio the larger display will use but other rumours have clashed on whether Apple will maintain the existing ratio or just increase the screen's height, while keeping the width the same.
