According to Japanese report, Apple will be officially unveiling a phablet version of its iPhone in May. The same report also says the iPhone 6 will be officially unveiled in September.
The news comes to us courtesy of Japanese-speaking Yahoo News, which was first spotted by GforGames. According to the site, “The Japanese version of Yahoo News has just published an article according to which the “big sized” iPhone will be a part of a totally new series. Even more, the source claims that it will be announced sometime in May, while the iPhone 6 will be made official in September.”
Speaking about specs, the site reports, “As far as hardware specs go, this new device will allegedly not be powered by Apple’s upcoming A8 SoC. Instead, the same source says that Apple decided to equip the phablet with its A7 processor (which is also powering last year’s iPhoe 5S). Unfortunately, nothing about the display size is mentioned, so until new info surfaces we’ll have to do with the “5.7 inch or bigger” rumor.”
Of course, since Apple is yet to mention any plans of launching a phablet, take this with a pinch of salt.
