Earlier this week Rueters reported that according to their sources Apple’s suppliers will begin mass production of the 4.7-inch display to be used in the iPhone 6 this May in preparation for the device's general release this fall.
The report also notes that the much rumored 5.5-inch version of the iPhone expected to start several months later, after the initial production of the 4.7-inch displays due to difficulties with in-cell touch technology for the 5.5-inch screen. Apple had introduced the technology with the iPhone 5.
Japan Display Inc, Sharp Corp and South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd have all been tapped to make the screens, said the sources, who asked not to be identified.
But due to difficulties with in-cell production technology for the larger 5.5-inch size, one of the sources said, a decision was made to begin mass production with the 4.7-inch version alone.
Production of 5.5-inch screens is expected to start several months later, with the possibility of a shift to a film sensor instead of in-cell technology for that size, the source said.
Japan Display will be the first supplier to start production, at its flagship plant at Mobara, east of Tokyo, as early as May, the sources said. The others are due to begin output around June.Contrast to this Last week a report from Japanese business newspaper Nikkei stated that the iPhone 6 could launch as early as September with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display sizes. It is Known that both screens will be larger than iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c’s 4-inch screen, and many iPhone's owners consider that 4-inch is a suitable size.
