The next iPhone to issue forth from Apple will feature a 4.6″ Retina display, according to a report from Reuters.

The report cites an unnamed source who spoke to South Korean newspaper Maeil Business. The source also claimed that the handset will be launching some time in Q2 this year. Apple have apparently already started placing orders for screens with suppliers.

When the information was queried by Reuters Apple suppliers LG Display and Samsung Electronics Co. declined to comment.

Rumours have being doing the rounds of an edge-to-edge iPhone screen for some time so the speculation regarding the increased display acreage seems plausible.
