After meeting with suppliers in Asia, Topeka Capital analyst Brian White believes Apple will release the iPhone 5S in 'at least' two screen sizes.

"After our meeting with a tech-supply chain company, we walked away with the view that Apple will release the iPhone 5S in at least two screen sizes this summer and possibly three," says White.

"Essentially, we believe Apple is coming around to the fact that one size per iPhone release does not work for everyone and offering consumers an option has the potential to expand the Company’s market share," writes White.

While Apple has previously claimed that the iPhone 5's display is the perfect size for a smartphone, customers have been flocking to larger displayed Android devices. The new Samsung Galaxy S 4 boasts a 5-inch full HD display and will go on sale soon to rival the smaller 4-inch iPhone.

The rest of Apple products such as the iMac, MacBook, iPad, and iPod are offered in multiple screen sizes but Apple has yet to drop any hints that it would consider doing the same for iPhone.

Even a 4-inch display it too big for me. That's why I do not buy an iphone or a galaxy. I want to carry a small and light smartphone and not a mini tablet with me. Thank you!!

That's an awesome thing. This way we can all have the perfect size phone for us. Yes it still matters even after you get an iPad. It does to me. I'm not always home or able to carry around the iPad or any tablet. This is great to give us choices.

by the time I got the iPhone 5 in the mail I already changed my mind about it and returned it to Apple, the way I see it is that the 4S is a perfect size for a phone and when I play games, watch movies or send eMails I use my iPad. it's like once you get an iPad the phone really don't matter that much.

It's true, in sort of a way. Non serious analysis is called gossip. But there are serious analysts who are dependable as far as it can get. Never 100 %

"analysts" have the easiest job ever. Create speculation from several viewpoints, repeat those each year until something hits.
