Why This Apple Inc. 6.1-Inch iPhone Rumor Makes a Lot of Sense

About a week ago, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) plans to launch an iPhone with a 6.1-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) next year. The device, which is reportedly one of three new iPhones slated to launch next year, is supposedly intended to serve as a device priced similarly to this year's iPhone 8 but with key selling points, such as a TrueDepth camera and a full-face display, lifted from this year's pricier iPhone X.

Kuo says the display found on this upcoming 6.1-inch iPhone will sport a pixel density of between 320 and 330 pixels per inch. Pixel density is effectively a measure of how sharp a display is -- the higher the number, the sharper the display.
