According to a report from the China Times translated by BrightWire, Apple is planning to release a larger phone “iPhone Math”. Macrumors notes “Because the iPhone Math name is highly unusual and does not fit in with Apple’s traditional naming scheme, it is not clear if it is a code name or a potential mistranslation.” According to China Times the “iPhone Math” will include a 4.8-inch screen a 8-mega-pixel camera and will hit markets alongside the 4-inch iPhone 5S before the end of June. A third model will feature a 12-mega-pixel camera and will be launched before Christmas.

Some details of this report sound a little bit weird, but these are not the first rumors about a larger iPhone. Back in December the first rumors about a larger iPhone hit the web and multiple reports about a bigger screen have been published since then.
