( CNN ) -- iPhone and iPad users looking with envy at the ever-ballooning screen sizes of Android devices should n't lose hope just yet . The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has been experimenting with iPhone screen sizes larger than the current four inches , echoing rumors from earlier this year that the company may be looking to supplement its current offerings . The WSJ also says that Apple is experimenting with larger iPads , specifically a model with a gigantic 13-inch display . While a larger iPhone would be in line with current trends , the trend in tablets has been toward smaller screen sizes , not larger ones . In either case , those hoping for a bigger iPhone or lap-sized iPad should n't necessarily hold their breath . Apple regularly tests out new screen sizes and even brand-new product lines without ever bringing them to market ; those that do see the light of day can take their time emerging from Apple 's labs . The iPad mini itself was the subject of similar speculation in the months and years before it was finally released , and the iPhone 5 's 4-inch screen was the subject of rumors that predate the 3.5-inch iPhone 4S . Apple is expected to update both the iPad and the iPad mini later this year . Speculation is that the larger tablet will go on the iPad mini diet , shedding some weight , thickness , and bezel width . The smaller tablet , on the other hand , may or may not receive a high-resolution Retina display -- these rumors have been known to change daily based on what the folks at Apple rumor sites see in their tea leaves each morning . Both tablets were last refreshed in November 2012 . A bad quarter for Apple ? COPYRIGHT 2011 ARSTECHNICA.COM .
