They said that it is not as simple as I thought. You cannot just unsolder one controller and put in another. It takes a whole new PCB and that means a whole new GUI and re-engineering and by that time the new 6 inch will be out!
But would not the PCB and stuff from the 5" work fine with a 6" screen?
