iPhone with 4-inch display and ‘new sleek look’ to launch in Q3, Topeka says

Likely offsetting an earlier note suggesting Apple’s run may soon slow, a new report on Monday suggests that the Cupertino-based technology giant is reportedly preparing to launch a redesigned iPhone handset in the third quarter this year, featuring a 4-inch display and a sleek new unibody case. While meeting with supply chain players in China, Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White received indications that Apple’s next iPhone is going to be a completely new device. “The buzz around the new iPhone 5 is growing in Asia and speculation around the timing of the launch has begun,” White, whoraised his price target on Apple stock to $1,001 last week, wrote in a note to investors. Read on for more.

“In our view, this will be the most significant iPhone upgrade with a four-inch screen and a new, sleek look that we believe will require a Unibody case,” White said. “This new, sleek look will be the most important reason that consumers decide to upgrade to the iPhone 5, while we believe the addition of 4G will also attract buyers of the new device. We believe the iPhone 5 ramp for the December quarter could be extraordinary, dwarfing previous launches and driving the stock closer to our $1,001 price target.”

White believes that preliminary component production for Apple’s next-generation iPhone could begin in June, and he expects the phone to launch in August or September. An earlier report citing a Foxconn executive suggested that Apple’s new iPhone will launch in October, and*BGR exclusively reported late last year that*Apple plans to release a new iPhone with a completely redesigned antenna system this fall.

I will be dropping that $700 if the screen is indeed bigger. For a feeling that battery life will be the best the market has seen can't wait...[pic]

I aint camping out or standing in no long line tho[pic]

there is really no need for anything over 4.

got the 4s but will sell it if the screen is 4. thats what i was hoping for, its a good middle ground. and plus i still have my upgrade that i can use in july. so im down either way

Instant Cop!!!!!!!

F-ck a bigger screen, just have a decent battery life finally! All theses rumors about these upgrades and sh-t, watch the battery life be like 6 hours even in idle [pic]

i dont see why people get iPhones u cant even get insurance with them biitches

A 4" screen is cool with me, but I don't think it's going to happen. If it does I'm all in. That pretty much the only thing I won't settle for this go round.

you can get insurance through Square trade. that what i did.

5+ inch sceens[pic]

I ain't trying to carry around a cereal box in my pocket. I'm good with 4 inches.

i need the new iphone now, i busted my screen a week ago and i also was forced to upgrade to 5.1 and lose my jailbreak.

i'll believe it when i see it. i have the 4 and they have been saying that a new design with a bigger screen will come out for the longest
