The Street's Jason Schwarz predicts that come June Apple will decrease the screen size of the iPhone as part of a new strategy to focus on the iPad.
"The iPhone turns into your tethering your device. It turns into your Internet connection. You only have to pay one bill, one phone bill, and all your devices can connect to a 3G and eventually a 4G wireless network. So in effect what the iPhone becomes for Apple is the glue that holds their mobile ecosystem in place."
Take a look at the video below and voice your thoughts in the comments.
FIRST of all this guy , prolly putting all his eggs in one APP basket. (cash in the market) Are we forgetting that there is a device called the kindle? or Itouch or IPHONE or ipod.. hello people other than the gadget nerds and the occasional holiday purchase i don't think that this item will make the market. Im sorry but I wouldn't lug around a giant thing with my phone i like my screen size on my phone now. If my screen sizes goes away I wont enjoy my phone as i do no. Personally I wouldn't pay more than the price of an ipod for a Ipad why .. because its space is limited, its ability to connect would be way to expensive and the size of it would be like caring around my laptop.. oh wait i do do that So why do i need an ipad lol ..
oh and on top of all of this jabber jabber, mac fans, pc fans.. were is our MAC OSX tablet .. ? wouldn't that be a leap towards great things, or is apple just playing the same game as they did when the first ipod came out 10gb of music on a HDD oh wasn't that awesome now its up to 160gb of music .. people they are marketing you like no other , do just buy shit to put on your table to look at buy something that will help your productivity.
I think the iPhone screen is already as small as it needs to be, what they need to do is make it thinner, and smaller (not by reducing the screen size, but by reducing the amount of free area around the screen.). Oh and maybe change up the back and use something other than this shiny plastic.
Haha, yea. I would be pissed if they made the iPhone bigger in any way. I wouldn't mind if they could slim it down to the thickness of an iPod touch though..
kill the iphone for the ipad? hell no. i am not carrying that huge ipad everywhere i go to make phone calls if it eventually has that capability. i need a phone with ipad capabilities thank you. not the other way around.
@DrsZ24 I agree with you 100%!The only argument this guy uses is one of the main things people are complaining about - NO tethering.After all,Steve Jobs announced the next iPhone as an A+ upgrade if I remember correctly.With a smaller screen???Maybe this isn't the whole video,'cos at the end I'd expect this guy to introduce some special offer on kitchen knives or multivitamins - free shipping included!
