Steve Jobs worked closely on a redesigned iPhone with a larger display before his death, according to Bloomberg source.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren't public. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said.
The redesigned iPhone was apparently in development before the release of the iPhone 4S.
Apple has been working on the new device since before the current iPhone 4S model was introduced last October, said one person with knowledge of the project. Jobs, who had gone on medical leave from Apple starting last January, played a key role in developing the phone, this person said.
Sources from the WSJ and Reuters have also confirmed a 4-inch or larger screen for the next generation device.
