The very latest iPhone 6 display reports indicate that Apple may be planning to launch the next-gen iPhone with significant changes in the display. Apple's current iPhone 5s comes with a 1136 x 640 resolution display; while the recent report claims that the upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone 6 display would feature a significantly higher 1704 x 960 resolution, retaining the same 16:9 aspect ratio as the earlier iPhone models.

iPhone 6 display resolution:

These revelations come from a report from9to5macwhichclaims that Apple would introduce major changes in the upcoming, rumored 4.7 inch iPhone 6. The said 1704 x 960 4.7 inch iPhone 6 will have a 416ppi pixel density; 5.5" iPhone 6 variant will sport a 356 ppi.

Considering anything over 300ppi is taken as a Retina display, the upcoming two variants, the 4.7inch iPhone 6, and a 5.5-inch phablet iPhone, will both have pixel density more than enough to be called a sharp Retina carrying significant density boost than any other previous iPhone. This increase in display density will result incrispertext, images, and video for users of the next-generation Apple smartphones.

Here's an excerpt from the aforementioned report:

Apple is preparing to make another significant screen adjustment to the iPhone. Instead of retaining the current resolution, sources familiar with the testingof at least onenext-generation iPhone model say that Apple plans to scale the next iPhone display with apixel-tripling (3X) mode.

This means that Apple will likely be tripling the aforementioned “base resolution” (568 x 320) of the iPhone screen in both directions, and that the iPhone screen resolution will be scaled with an increase of 150% from the current 2X resolution of 1136 x 640. Of course, Apple tests several different iPhones and display technologies, so it is possible that Apple chooses to take another route for display specifications for the 2014 iPhone upgrade.

...So, regardless of whether Apple goes with a 4.7-inch or 5.5-inch panel—or both—the new iPhone(s) will have significantly more dense screens in comparison to current and past iPhones, which will result in crisper text, images, and video for users of the next-generation Apple smartphones. Also, by definition, both screens will have pixel densities that fit comfortably within Apple’s threshold for a “Retina” display.

Nextgen iPhone is expected to sport anultra-thin, almost bezel-less designform with rounded edges. iPhone 6 leaked images and news suggest that the device will sport anA8 processor, 1 GB RAM, Touch ID sensor, and an improved 8 megapixel camera withOptical Image Stabilization(OIS). iPhone 6 is also expected to sport a durable sapphire display panel. Software wise, iPhone 6 will be powered byiOS 8 featuring new fitness appswith a focus onHealthbookapp, an improved Maps and Siri experience, inter-app communication capabilities and more such refinements.
