Apple Reportedly Launching Two New iPhones with Larger Flat Sapphire Displays in September

(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2013/12/iphone-6-hero1-250x234.jpg) Apple will reportedly release two versions of its next-generation iPhone featuring 4.7 and 5.5-inch sapphire screens in September, <a href=" http://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/technology/article/1426288/new-iphone-now-upsized-set-release-september">reports[/url] the South China Morning Post. Citing industry insiders who have "seen the prototypes," the publication also states that both phones will feature a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch (PPI) compared to the 326 PPI currently found on the displays of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
 
 Furthermore, the Hong Kong-based newspaper adds that the new devices will feature a flat screen instead of a curved screen as suggested (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/10/apple-reportedly-developing-iphones-with-large-curved-screens-for-2014-enhanced-touch-sensors-for-later-models/) by prior reports, and that Apple will be discontinuing the iPhone 5c in favor of an iPhone 5s made of lower-cost materials.
 
 Apple has been experimenting with a range of screen sizes for the next-generation iPhone since early 2013, with size (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/06/13/apple-considering-4-7-and-5-7-screens-for-2014-iphone-models/) rumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/10/apple-reportedly-developing-iphones-with-large-curved-screens-for-2014-enhanced-touch-sensors-for-later-models/) varying (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/15/iphone-6-ipad-pro-iwatch-displays/) from 4.7 to 5.7 inches. The Korea Herald reported yesterday that the iPhone 6 would adopt a <a href=" http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/11/iphone-6-said-to-adopt-bezel-free-display/">"bezel-free"[/url] display.
 
 It was also reported (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/06/sapphire-production-future-iphones/) last week that GT Advanced, the company that has partnered with Apple to open a plant (http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/07/apples-arizona-factory-is-dramatic-expansion-of-gt-advanceds-sapphire-production/) in Mesa, Arizona, was gearing up to mass produce sapphire displays meant for the iPhone 6. While another report yesterday (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/11/sapphire-iwatch-iphone-6/) said that Apple's initial sapphire production would target the iWatch instead of the next-generation iPhone, the <a href=" http://www.macrumors.com/2014/02/06/sapphire-production-future-iphones/">volume[/url] of raw material and equipment the company is purchasing would suggest plans to manufacture approximately 200 million 5-inch sapphire displays to meet iPhone demand.
