?Rumours that Apple is working on a wider range of screen sizes for its next version iPhones and iPads got a boost following reports that suppliers have been asked to send display screens for a range of sizes to be evaluated by the company.
Citing sources at the suppliers, the Wall Street Journal reported that they have been asked for a range of iPhone scale screens that would take the smartphone into the so-called phablet range. Meanwhile, others have been asked for a slightly larger iPad display screen, that could take it upto just under 13 inches.
Apple has been long suspected of developing a low-cost iPhone possibly with a smaller screen as it seeks to widen its customer base. However, the company has also been said to be looking at following the Samsung route of pushing out handsets in almost every size possible in order to appeal to every possible neiche of the smartphone market.
Samsung's approach lead it to overtake Apple as the single largest smartphone manufacturer.
"Apple has been slow to react to consumer desire for larger smartphone screens, [and] entry level price points on new phones," said BGC Financial's Colin Gillis in an investor note. "Waiting and waiting, for the new products to launch, has become painful," he wrote.
Apple and its suppliers are preparing to ramp production of a new iPad in coming weeks, according to people at component suppliers. A new iPhone is expected to go into production later this year.
