Apple could release a gigantic 5.8-inch iPhone in the next year

After years of insisting that nobody wanted a big phone, Apple now seem committed to engineering an iPhone so large that you need a forklift to get it to work.

Well, not quite. But if reports are to believed, the tech giant is planning on releasing an iPhone with a humongous 5.8-inch screen. Their current phablet offering, the iPhone 6S Plus, boasts a 5.5- inch display, which is pretty big in itself. According to DigiTimes, Apple could launch the monster phone as early as next year, and could replace their current LCD screens with the brighter and less power-hungry AMOLED technology found in the Samsung Galaxy range. The publication also claims Apple will ship 50 million of the 5.8-inch handsets in the first year of retail, whenever that may be. Best get training those thumbs.
