While Samsung is in the news for its Galaxy Note III, Apple is also reportedly working on an iPhone phablet. The Wall Street Journal citing sources has reported that the company is testing iPhones of various sizes, with screen sizes ranging from 4.8-inch to 6-inch.
The WSJ report says that Apple has shown keen interest in the iPhone prototype having 4.8-inch screen. Previous reports have suggested that Apple is testing a model called iPhone Math that has a 4.8-inch display.
However, the iPhone models expected to be launched at the company's forthcoming September 10 event are not expected to have such big screens. It is expected that the two models - namely iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C - will have 4-inch displays, same as the iPhone 5 that was launched last year.
Several companies are currently working on 6-inch phones, including HTC and Nokia. Samsung already has phones with screens measuring 5.7-inch, 5.8-inch and 6.3-inch in its portfolio. Sony has the biggest smartphone in the world in its line-up, the Xperia Z Ultra with a 6.4-inch screen. Other major manufacturers like ZTE and Huawei also have models with screen size around 6-inch in their line-up.
The WSJ report says, "It is unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose to follow a multi-size, multi-device strategy beyond shipping a new lower-cost model for the first time later this month. The company often tests different devices and configurations before choosing a course."
