Apple is looking into launching iPhones with a 4.7-inch and a 5.7-inch screen , Reuters reports , citing sources with knowledge of the matter . The company is also considering launching a cheaper variant of the iPhone , that would cost around $ 99 and come in 5-6 colors . The moves are described as being `` under discussion , '' meaning they may never actually happen . If they do , however , it would mean Apple has more or less abandoned its position as the standard-setter in the smartphone market and become just another trend-follower . Long-known for its limited palette of products , Apple always focused on the premium segment of the market , claiming the form factors of its devices , as well as the prices , are just right . For example , Samsung currently offers smartphones and phablets with more than 10 different screen sizes , while Apple has only two : the 3.5-inch iPhone 4S and the 4-inch iPhone 5 . The iPhone 5 was launched last September , and Apple is widely expected to unveil a new iPhone around that time this year . One of Reuters ' sources claims the company `` constantly changes product specifications almost to the final moment , '' so — as usual — no one except Apple really knows whether we 'll also see a bigger or a cheaper iPhone in September as well .
