Apple to launch big-screen iPhone in May

Chinese technology website Digitimes has reported that the big-screen iPhone is scheduled for a May launch.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a letter to employees, has said that 2014 will be a big year for the company and customers will love its new products.
Many in the tech community have taken this as a hint that Apple will finally unveil big-screen iPhones and iPads. And a recent report gives credence to this speculation.
Chinese technology website Digitimes, which has leaked Apple gadgets accurately in the past, has reported that the big-screen iPhone is scheduled for a May launch. This upcoming model will have a 20nm chipset made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
It has long been rumoured that Apple is working on two big-screen iPhones - one with a 4.7-inch display and the other with a 6-inch panel.
The report also says that a big-screen iPad, with display sizes measuring 12.9-inch or 13.3-inch, will be unveiled in October next year. It is likely that Apple will pick the 12.9-inch screen size for final production; this falls in line with an earlier report that Apple will launch a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with 4K resolution in October.
Apple is working with Taiwan's Quanta Computer to manufacture this upcoming tablet. This large-screen iPad will replace the 11-inch Macbook Air, says the report, citing sources.
