The iPhone5 will support the 4 inch Retina screen. They are doing this by extending the existing screen to the sides to he edge, and either removing the home button, or incorporating it into the screen.

Just wanted to update on this... Today at BGR they're reporting that "the iPhone 5 display is expected to be between 3.5 and 3.7 inches". As we get closer to real release, the actual size of the screen really doesn't change much from what it is now.

It will be interesting to see what really happens, though!

Saw that too. My understanding is that there will be 2 phones released. A stripped down, 8 Gig iPhone 4 which will sell for $99 WITHOUT a contract; and the iPhone 5. I suspect that the screens that BGR (9to5Mac and Appleinsider) are aluding to, are the cheap iPhone screens.

Lots of various news reports.

Credit where credit is due; Apple has fantastic security. Unless some poor employee leaves another phone in a bar; we won’t know anything for certain until Sept 7th.
