Apple screen changes
According to 9to5mac.com author Mark Gurman, who took the time to compare the rumors to other reports rumors about Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) displays, some of these rumors are more believable than others. The iPad is probably going to get a bigger version, but an iPhone with a screen bigger than 5 inches in unlikely to come out in the next year.
The late release of a high resolution iPad Mini also appears to fit in with reports of supply problems. According to Gurman, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) may well be headed toward using OLED-based displays but it’s far from a certain prospect just yet.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is continuing to drive display technologies and the company is continuing to drive rumors about that technology.
