Apple Said to Release a 4.8-inch iPhone Math This Summer

For the past few weeks there have been a bunch of reports coming from China about Apple’s supply orders for iPhone 5 and plans to release two new iPhones this summer. China Times writes that Apple will release an upgraded iPhone 5 and a 4.8-inch iPhone Math.

There are numerous reports trying to pinpoint Apple’s next move. It’s hard to ignore them since most of the previous reports proved to be accurate. It’s even harder to ignore rumoring when Apple is said to release a cheaper iPhone to break into the cost-affordable Android smartphone market. Translated reports from China indicate that the second (cheaper) iPhone could be the 4.8-inch iPhone Math.

BrightWire translated information published in the China Times and although everybody agrees iPhone Math isn’t exactly following in line with Apple’s traditional release plan, it might well be this isn’t the case of a mistranslation. That’s hardly the case since the name “iPhone Math” is used in the English form in the report from China Times.

According to China Times’ scoop, iPhone Math will be launched this summer, along with a better iPhone 5. The device is said to feature a 4.8-inch screen and an 8MP camera. What’s confusing everybody in the media now is that China Times’ report talks about a device that will be larger than the current iPhone 5, whereas The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg talk about an iPhone that is smaller and cheaper. In the meanwhile, Jeffries’ analyst Peter Misek was the first to announce Apple is indeed working on a 4.8-inch iPhone display, but one month after that report Misek informed there is no sign the company is still working on that device.

The China Times report also notes that during the holiday season, Apple will release a third iPhone for the year, which is reportedly going to feature a 12-MP camera.
