Steve Jobs 'Worked Closely' on Design of Next-Generation iPhone with Larger Display
Bloomberg reports that Steve Jobs was intimately involved in the design work for the next-generation iPhone scheduled for release later this year, reiterating claims that the device will be a substantial change from previous designs in part because of a larger display.Apple, based in Cupertino, California, has placed orders from suppliers in Asia for screens that are bigger than the 3.5- inch size now on the smartphone, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death in October, one person said. [...]Bloomberg becomes the third major publication to offer an independent report this week regarding a larger display for the next iPhone, following The Wall Street Journal and Reuters yesterday.
Apple has been working on the new device since before the current iPhone 4S model was introduced last October, said one person with knowledge of the project. Jobs, who had gone on medical leave from Apple starting last January, played a key role in developing the phone, this person said.

They will say Steve was attached to many projects moving forward.
a) it's most likely true for the next few years
b) it's good PR for stockholders
c) it's good PR for apple fans
d) it's good PR for the press
But - isn't it funny how so many MR posters insist that Apple would never change their size from 3.5" because STEVE (and crew) had done so much research (5 years ago folks) and determined 3.5 was optimal.
Can't wait to see all the backpeddling

Oh Yeah?
Here we go - something tells me this "Steve Job stamp of approval" is going to be coming out for a lot of future apple products well into the future.. Seems like this man continues to change the world even after he has passed on.

Not a surprise that he would have been involved in this design
These would be in the works for a while
I just hope it isn't the "tall" design in the mock ups

When Steve worked closely on a larger iPhone, there will be no more saying '3.5" is enough for a phone' comments because Steve said otherwise ;)

Well thank God. If nothing else, one thing you can say about Steve is that he made GREAT products.
