When the new generation iPhone launches . some time this year there is a lovely chance that it will have a bigger display. The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has began to order parts for the tool, including a display that is larger then the 3.5-inch that the iPhone has used since it was released. The screen on the 2012 iPhone will be at least four inches, according to the document.

About a bigger iPhone screen have been around  as long as the iPhone itself, which mounted to an amazing amount of noise before the announcement of the iPhone 4S last year.The iPhone five, as it was known at the time, had a lot of rumors about it that did not pan out, of the most prominent being the move to a bigger display. Rumors had it that the size of the next-gen Retina display could be three.7-, 4-, or 4.2 inches, though the latter was quickly dispelled.

Apple had no comment on the matter, but the article noted that Apple could be making the move in order to compete with rivals, like Samsung. While it is true that Samsung is a force to be reckoned with, there has been much conjecture about why the iPhone is the size it is, and why Apple has not felt pressure to chance the display size since 2007. If it does happen I would expect to see something right around 4-inches, not anything in the HTC X range (four.7-inch).

Other than the widespread complaints with Maps, slow WiFi, possible lighting leaks and fragile aluminum add to the list.

It has been officially reported that 5 million customers have made a purchase for the iPhone 5 already. Of the users already lucky to have received it, many of them are experiencing some problems. In addition to the bug-ridden Maps application, users have been reporting WiFi connection issues, scuffs and scratches to the aluminum casing and even a light leak around the edge of the white iPhone 5.

Adding to the list, Apple is pulling the plug on the free 20GB of storage space extended to previous MobileMe subscribers, which will make it difficult for some upgraders to back up their iPhone 5 to iCloud.

Slow WiFi
Users are flooding the Apple forums reporting problems connecting to WPA2-protected WiFi networks, with slow connection speeds the most commonly reported.

Fragile aluminum
It looks like the new anodized aluminum casing of the iPhone 5 is quite resistant to scratching, revealing the bare aluminum underneath. There have been widespread claims of scratches and scuffs, even directly out of the box.

Leaking light
Affecting the white iPhone 5 seems to be an issue with a small light leak from the LED backlit shining through a small crack in the edge. Users reported that the flaw is only visible under low-light or completely dark settings. Link
