Sharp is producing the screen for Apple's next iPhone and will have it ready to ship this month, the Japanese company said in a press briefing in Tokyo today.
According to Reuters, which was in attendance at the event, Sharp president Takashi Okuda told reporters that "shipments will start in August" of the screen for the upcoming Apple phone, widely presumed to be the iPhone 5. When pressed for more details on the device's screen, including when how large it might be, he declined to comment, according to Reuters.
However, Reuters is reporting today, citing a source, that the screen measures 4 inches, making it notably larger than the current iPhone's 3.5-inch display. Numerous reports have suggested that the iPhone 5 will come with a 4-inch display, though it's believed that the device itself won't be any wider. Instead, Apple has reportedly made the display taller, extending its available screen space.
