The iPhone 5S might be suffereing from a, er, size problem

The iPhone 5S might be suffereing from a, er, size problem

The iPhone 5 could be a tough act to follow

Apple upped the iPhone screen to 4 inches with the iPhone 5, and now it may enlarge it once again with the iPhone 5S.

A report from Taiwanese newspaper Commercial Times (via Bloomberg) this week claimed that the iPhone 5S will feature a display stretching...wait for it...4.3 inches.

It's not an earth shattering growth spurt, but that change has reportedly caused delays that could see the phone's launch pushed back to the end of the year.

This latest claim contradicts previous reports that the iPhone 5S will maintain the iPhone 5's 4-inch display and debut in September or October.

Cheap iPhone strikes again

cheap iPhoneWhile we're eagerly awaiting more news of the next iPhone, whispers of Apple's rumored cheap iPhone continue to whir through the interwebs.

Today BGR published photos of what it claimed show the chassis of a light green budget iPhone next to the iPhone 5.

The two devices appear to be of a similar size, though the cheaper, plastic iPhone shell looks slightly thicker.

The site claims that the cheap iPhone will launch alongside the iPhone 5S this fall, an assertion we've heard before.

But if the iPhone 5S really is delayed until the end of 2013, where does that leave the budget iPhone? Will Apple delay that too or will they launch the cheap version in the fall, giving it some breathing room before unleashing the 5S?

We're clearly facing an existential crisis over this, so please Apple, could you hurry up?
