The iPhone rumor mill
is slowly starting to churn just nearly two months after the launch of
the latest iPhone 4S. This time it’s bringing rumors about Hitachi and
Sony kicking off shipments of the next-gen iPhone display,
allegedly measuring 4 inches on the diagonal. Japanese blog Macotakara
spread the news, citing unnamed sources in Apple’s Asian supply network.
The two companies have allegedly also teamed up to produce modified displays for... the iPad 4.
While the iPad 3 is still a thing of the future, the fourth generation
is covered in even more mystery, so we’d definitely take this latter
part of the rumor with a grain of salt. Expectations for the next-gen
iPad are already sky-high with screen resolution said to double to 2048 x
1536 pixels.
Hitachi and Sony
might be some of the companies Apple turns to as the recent legal
battle with Korean Samsung has the two companies being cautious in their
business relationship. The two are set to join forces with Toshiba in a
JV dubbed Japan Display Co. Whispers mention that the companies had to
alter their production line significantly to meet Apple’s demands.
