Video of Leaked Next Generation iPhone Front Panel

We've seen photos of the purported next generation iPhone's parts including the front panel, which have corroborated rumors that the sixth generation iPhone will come with a taller 4-inch display.

Folks at Japanese blog Macotakara have now managed to get their hands on the front panel and have posted photos and video comparing it to the iPhone 4S.

The comparison video and photos confirms that the next generation iPhone's display will be taller than the 3.5-inch display, but have the same width as the current iPhones.

Macotakara reports that the display opening measures  at 10.33 cm (4.07 in) diagonally, which would allow a taller 4-inch display to fit in the opening. This is also in-line with the schematics of the next generation iPhone that was leaked yesterday.

A taller 4-inch display would allow Apple to add one more row of icons to the iPhone's home screen, moving to five rows per page plus the row of pinned icons in the dock at the bottom of the screen.

The new resolution is also expected to be very close to a 16:9 screen ratio, which means that 16:9 videos can play full screen at their native aspect ratio.
