3 High-Resolution 5.8-inch OLED Display
Discovered this morning by Troughton-Smith, it was revealed that Apple’s upcoming flagship could feature a much higher resolution display than any iPhone model before. While the iPhone 7 Plus’ 5.5-inch LCD display boasts a 1080 x 1920 resolution at a modest 401 ppi, Troughton-Smith revealed in his latest Tweet that the Apple may be bumping the iPhone 8’s modestly larger, 5.8-inch OLED panel up to a pixel-dense 2436 x 1125 resolution.
While there appears to be a lack of consensus among developers in regards to what portion of the display will be active and touch-responsive, with some even expressing their belief that the resolution could actually be as high as 2800 x 1242, it’s worth noting that the HomePod’s code also mysteriously references a “3xRetina6.5Inch” display, which may or may not hint to the existence of an even larger iPhone model being in the works. (Worth noting is that Apple’s iPhone 9, which is expected to debut in 2018, has been rumored to feature a much larger 6.46-inch OLED display, and so this part of the code could be a placeholder for that model.)
