Apple (AAPL) iPhone users have “large-screen envy,” and a rumored big-screen iPhone 6 could alleviate that and rectify the company’s “biggest product miscue in recent years,” says ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall. The lack of a larger iPhone is “jeopardizing the smartphone dominance (Apple) has achieved through a best-in-class ecosystem (e.g., iOS, iTunes, iCloud, etc.),” Marshall said in a research note late Sunday. The current iPhone 5 series has a 4-inch display vs. 5.1 inches for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 and 5.7 inches for its current Galaxy Note 3. A 5-inch class iPhone “would spark a massive upgrade cycle” and attract many “Android switchers” to return to the iPhone, Marshall said. He expects Apple (AAPL) to launch two new iPhones this summer: one with a 4.7-inch display and a second model with a 5.5-inch display. Other analysts say Apple will stick with its annual fall release schedule for new smartphones… Scalper1 News
