So does that mean that we gotta switch to Windows to support the smaller? Im seriously thinking going to Nokia Win mobile since got really boring with iOS... 4 years same same - is too long time.

What a big risk? When iPhone flops Apple will see a big portion of profit decline. Investment 101, never put your eggs in one basket!!!
