Report: Apple testing a 13-inch iPad


The Wall Street Journal:

In recent months, Apple has asked for prototype smartphone screens larger than 4 inches and has also asked for screen designs for a new tablet device measuring slightly less than 13 inches diagonally, they said. The current iPhone 5 has a four-inch screen, while the iPad has a 9.7-inch screen. The iPad Mini, a stripped-down version of its tablet computer, has a 7.9-inch screen.

I've come to prefer the smaller iPad mini, even with a non-Retina display. It's just the right size for everything other than video. That's where I still prefer the larger screen. Even larger screens probably won't appeal to me, but likely will be attractive for those weaning themselves off of PCs. A bigger screen makes a lot of sense if a tablet is your computer.
