Thought the iPhone 6S Plus was big? Prepare your thumbs: Apple might be working on an even larger smartphone that would further blur the line between its iPhone and iPad.
The Cupertino company plans to release a 5.8-inch iPhone as early as the end of next year, possibly in time for its annual autumn event, according to the DigiTimes.
But is 5.8-inches too big?
My day-to-day phone is the iPhone 5S. I don't have the largest hands, so the 4-inch device feels heavenly in my grip and almost all of the phone's screen real estate is within my reach. That's why I'm particularly excited for the Apple's speculated return to the 4-inch with the iPhone SE.
That said, I've considered investing in an iPhone 6S, mostly to be up on the times. But, the increased size is the one thing that always stands in my way. Following the introduction of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, a user on Reddit posted the following image.
Taking the color-coded image into consideration, the iPhone Pro, or whatever the purported 5.8-inch device might be known as, will be off the charts and essentially unusable with just one hand. But, as this is the only rumor pointing to this phone's possible existence, we're skeptical that it's true. You and your thumbs can rest easy...for now.
