bummer. looks like i'll be holding on to my 5S until forced obsolescence forces me to move on.
Or you could just disbelieve Timothy Arcuri. Let's see.His previous predictions are
- the iPhone 6 (one of them, not two screen sizes) will have a 4.8 (not 4.7) inch screen
- then (once the whole world knew there would be two screen sizes) that the 6+ would have a different, higher performance CPU than the 6.
I'd say any analyst who think Apple cares about cannibalizing its product line is an idiot who clearly doesn't have a clue about the company and its history. As others have said --- Apple has ALREADY released the iPhone touch...
If there's anything to this story, it's probably something like Apple has switched to a third Chinese company (after Foxconn and Pegatron) as an assembler, and they are starting them off with something fairly easy (hah --- but compared to the watch...) and of limited volume to see how they do. And Arcuri has no contacts with this third company, so he simply doesn't see what's happening there.
