Apple has hinted at the fact that the iPhone 5 will indeed feature a four-inch screen.
The company recently commenced preparations for the iPhone 5′s announcement on September 12th, with a large banner displaying the company’s logo being displayed outside the event center where the press conference will take place.
After a closer look at the huge banner, it seems Apple itself has hinted at the iPhone 5′s screen size. Phones Reviews explains:
