Apple Roundup: iPhone 5, Steve Jobs, iPads for Greece

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It's never a dull day when you're talking about Apple(AAPL) , but two of today's stories are quite different from the regular iDevice rumors.

Speculation about a larger iPhone have been bandied about for weeks, and with each passing story, it looks like the iconic smartphone is getting a facelift. Apple is reportedly testing a 3.95-inch iPhone with an upgraded version of Retina display.

It reportedly will have a 640 x 1,136 Retina display and an aspect ratio of 16:9, which will allow users to watch videos in a widescreen format. Apple may also add a fifth row of icons to the home screen.

Steve Jobs was one of the most iconic visionaries in technology, and President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton and U2's Bono all honored the late Apple co-founder at the Webby Awards with a video and some words about the man.

Actor Richard Dreyfuss gave a speech about Jobs and his contribution to society. Dreyfuss voiced the memorable "crazy ones" Apple commercial in the late 1990s.

In the oddest bit of Apple news today, the iPad is playing a prominent role in talks to restructure Greek debt.

As the discussion to cut Greece's debt became a finality, Bondholder Communications Group was asked to get roughly 100,000 debt holders to sign off on the debt restructuring and the organization purchased 100 iPads loaded with a custom app to make the process as quick as possible.

"It was the largest financial transaction in the history of the world," Bondholder Communications Group President Bob Apfel told Fortune. "And we couldn't have done it without the iPad."
