Apple's new iPhone will have a sharper and bigger 4.6-inch Retina display according to a South Korean business newspaper.

Maeil Business Newspaper reported on comments provided from an unknown industry source who claimed Apple has started placing orders with suppliers for the larger 4.6-inch display and will be ready to roll out the new phone in the second quarter of this year.

Apple's current display suppliers LG and Samsung have declined to comment.

Size that matters

The 326 dpi Retina resolution display first appeared on Apple’s iPhone 4, but a 4.6-inch screen would be a significant upgrade from the current standard iPhone 3.5-inch screen.

A larger display would see the iPhone 5 taking on the likes of Samsung Galaxy S2's 4.6-inch OLED screen.
