DisplaySearch is predicting that Apple will revamp nearly all of the displays in its products over the next year.

According to a recent blog post, DisplaySearch believes Apple has fallen behind in display technology despite it having been a leader in the past. To address this, they believe the company will revamp numerous products with new displays.

In reality, changing to a bigger display or a higher resolution is not as simple as changing the screen. The graphic processing unit (GPU) and operating system match the display hardware. A device with high resolution screen but without high-resolution GPU and OS capabilities is like a soldier driving a powerful tank but using a sword to fight. What Apple does better than any company is integrate the hardware and software, as well as the implementation of the user interface, and finally the content ecosystem.

The iPhone is predicted to move from a 4-inch 1136x640 display to a 4.7-inch 1280x720 display and a 5.7-inch 1920x0180 display.

The iPad is said to keep its 9.7-inch 2048x1536 display but get a slimmer bezel this year. Apple will reportedly add a new 12.9-inch 2732x2048 model in 2014.

The iPad mini will go from a 7.9-inch 1024x768 display to a 7.9-inch 2048x1536 display in Q4 2013.

Also, Apple will reportedly launch a new 12-inch 2304x1440 MacBook Air in 2014.

Finally, DisplaySearch also predicts we will see the rumored Apple Television and iWatch in Q3 and Q4 2014, respectively. The Apple TV is said to come in 55-inch and 65-inch 4Kx2K displays. The iWatch will reportedly sport a 1.3"/1.63" 320x320 flexible AMOLED display.

You must be a Samsung hater! Moto, HTC, LG, Nokia,.... and the rest of the world make 4.7" phones for years now, not just Samsung! 4.5" - 4.7" is the perfect size, so no brainer to predict Apple will increase their iPhone screen size to 4.5" or 4.7". Same with ipad mini 2, if it doesn't have retina display, if it doesn't run faster, what else? Duh!!!

How big does the screen on a phone really need to be? There has never been a single instance where I have said, man I wish my iPhone had a 5 or 6 inch screen, never. Leave the screen size alone!!!!

Absolutely true the iPhone's 4 inch screen is the perfect size for a phone!!! If any one wants bigger screen go get an iPad, sadly Samsung is pushing apple to build a bigger iPhone my only wish is that Apple will give us a choice 4 and 5 inch screens on the iPhone 6 this way the females in u guys can get the big ones and carry them in your hand bags and us man will keep carrying our phones in our pockets. ( my own wishful thinking )

When I read "apple has fallen behind in displays" I was like, sure you must be thinking of ios 7 again, that's the problem of the display, for some people!
