A new report from Mac Otakara says that the larger iPhone may be a variation of the iPhone 5c; rather than the iPhone 5s. It may also be an expansion to the currently lineup rather than replacing the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s.

According to the report, Apple is looking at 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch displays as candidates for new iPhone models. The larger device would keep the rounded back, button design, and speaker/microphone hole designs while taking some design cues from the iPod nano.

The 4.7-inch model is purportedly 14cm long by 7cm wide. The 5.7-inch model is 16cm long and 8cm wide. Thickness is said to be 7mm. The rear camera reportedly protrudes slightly from the device like the iPod touch; however, Mac Otakara suggests that perhaps the final version of the device would be made thicker to change that.

While Mac Otakara believes the new phone will expand the iPhone 5c lineup, a recent report from Taiwan’s Economic Daily News claims that Apple will release a 4.7-inch and 5.6-inch smartphone; however, the 5.6-inch phone will not be branded as an 'iPhone'.
