After many years of living in the wilderness, Apple Inc. is now sitting at the top of the technology food chain after becoming the embodiment of everything which the phoenix from the flames metaphor represents.

If you have a bit of patience, a lot of soldering skills, sufficient knowledge of the iPhone's internals to disassemble, modify, and reassemble, and you don't fear breaking your iPhone by mistake, then this would be a fun project of you.

Apple has, since the introduction of the very first iPhone in 2007, been happy to stick religiously with its 3.5-inch display, but with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X making the iPhone look comparatively minute, the consensus with regards to the next iPhone seems to be that the Cupertino company will finally break from the mold and increase the screen's real-estate.
