TECH : Leaked iPhone 5 front panel with 4-inch edge to edge screen

The front panel of what supposedly is the next generation iPhone 5 has been leaked by iDealsChina. As you can see in the image below, the screen size has been increased to four inches with barely any bezel left at all due to this so-called edge to edge screen.

 If this leaked front panel is the real deal and not just a fan’s homemade prototype, then we can be certain that Apple’s intention is to offer a larger-screen device to ensure that smartphone competition stays in their favour (not that they need to). By comparison to the current iPhone 4′s 3.5-inch display, you can see a notable difference in the illustration done by 9 to 5 Mac below.
