I'm sure we all saw it and use it in iOS7: the new swipe left to right to go back a page. It's a great feature and it's more comfortable to use with one hand then to have to reach to the top left corner (I know it's not a huge stretch, but it makes it more comfortable).
What I've noticed is that larger phones also have this feature to prevent having to stretch across the screen to that corner, too. So, here's my theory, and maybe I'm looking in to it too much, but it's fun to speculate like this
IN the fall Apple will release a final form of iOS7. Alongside this usually comes a new iPhone. To go along with their new drive towards more simple, they will be renaming their iPhones. Also I think they'll ditch the 3.5" screen all together
So, we have what they'll call "the iPhone". I see this as being they're entry level $299 off contract phone. Those pictures of the plastic iPhone posted here a while back (not the black one that was revealed to be a case) would probably be this phone. The innards would match that of the current iPhone 5
Next, we have the "iPhone S". This would cost around the price of what the flagship iPhone would cost now, so iPhone 5 pricing. I believe it'll keep the iPhone 5 form factor, but with the speed bumps the S model usually gets.
Finally, and the reasoning to my theory about that swipe comes in, the "iPhone+ or the iPhone Plus". Now, there's two ways this could swing. Either it performs better and has even better specs as the S model, which would then raise the price to about $299-$399 on contract. Or it performs the same as the S model, but has a bigger screen. Then I could see it priced out as $230-$330-$430
Another reason I could see this as a possibility is because they did something like this for the iPad models. It makes it easy to announce upgrades and not have to come up with a new name or number or whatever because now the iPhone number scheme doesn't make sense.
Like I said, pure speculation for the purpose of speculation. Just trying to have fun with it
Maybe post your opinions on how you feel about this?
