Rumors rile up yet again for an entry-level ‘iPhone nano’ for this year

I think theyll just use the curret iPhone 4s and call it a mini. Then release a larger one that looks the same. LoL

You have to think like apple. New name=new phone

I think that's why they are going into generations instead of calling the phone a sequel. The iMac and MacBook Pros have stayed the same for quite some time while Apple put more power into the computers themselves. It only redesigns them after a few years.

I do think it's funny that folks focus so much on the external look of the phone instead of the guts and software. Although I want a redesign this year with a larger screen, I'd like Apple to shift it's focus from the physical features of the phone and focus more on iOS. Although it's a great operating system, they've got to give it a fresh face. Even Mac OS went from OS9 to OSX at some point...

What guts? They are gutless wonders! Come on apple, get with modernization.

Apple is the king of big business.

It's called smart business. iPhone 3GS is selling for $375 a pop almost 3 years later. Manufacturing and parts costs have dropped drastically for the phone so Apple makes a great profit margin on the phone. When it's all said and done the total 3GS sales will be ridiculous compared to other phones.

Well said taco50. Folks need to understand that the bottom line for any business is money. Google, Chevy, coke, and Samsung r no different. Low cost, high profit. I'm not mad at apple for having a successful sales model. Car manufactuers do it all the time. My 05 vette looks just like the 12', but under the hood the 12' destroys it big time. 4,and 4s is the same progression.

Actually, it's called taking advantage of stupid people. "There's a sucker born every minute". & most of these suckers will buy iphones.

Yeah because every new giant touchscreen phone is SO much different from the last one.

Wrong Ivanko I don't have an unhealthy obsession with a cell phone maker

I'm referring to his screen name. If you name yourself after a phone it's a sure sign of a fanboy and usually a troll.

I'm fourteen so I'm still a kid
I don't care either way what phone i get as long as it fits my needs
just saying there are open minded kids *gasp* too

48. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)

I'm 14 as well (almost 15) and I agree with that. It's sad how the common conception of kids are. I would like to consider myself smart enough to know the difference between a good device, and a sub-par device. I appreciate the iPhone for what it is, I just don't like it because it isn't right for me. And plus I hate how gaudy Apple is and how people flaunt their iPhones around, even though I know it's nothing special. If they buy it because it suits their needs, I have nothing against them, but if they just bought it because 'it's an iPhone' I lose all respect for them.

Now imagine a school where you officially more "popular" if you have an iphone and an otterbox (even though lifeproof is less $ and much better), and where only about 10% own an android, and coincidentally those who own an android are the "nerds". I have a sammy stratoshpere that may not be the fastest or have the best specs and is not as good as an iphone, but it does everything i need and then some and has 4G and less money. Wether the next Iphone is better then some androids (NO!!!!), or not, i will get a phone that does everything i need and for a good price.

Agreed

Someone sounds mad. iPhone 4s has a top of the line processor and camera. It's screen is still one of the best on the market. Only thing you can complain about is screen size which isn't a tech, but personal preference.

Stolen tech? Android is in court as we speak with Oracle for stealing tech along with stealing heavily from iOS and redesigning their phones completely to be like the iPhone.
