Future iphone phablet...is there a possibility?

[blairh]

Hi...m a newbie here...is it possible that we're going to see a iphone phablet soon?

Soon? No. There was a rumor of Apple prototyping 4.7" and 5.7" iPhone's. The safe and more likely bet is a larger iPhone coming in 2014. Something in the 4.7"-5" space. But something even larger is uncertain. I do think Apple will bring a phablet to the market in due time. Just not this year. At the earliest next year.

Yeah, unfortunately i don't see apple lauching a big iphone so soon.

It would be awesome to hear a "one more thing" in the september 10th event, but the way apple is leaking nowadays we'd have heard about it already.

Yeah, it's not like Apple had to admit they were wrong and produce a 7" tablet... JUST LIKE SAMSUNG.

Actually, they didn't release a 7" 16x9 tablet... JUST LIKE SAMSUNG.

They released a 7.9" (so nearly 8") 4:3.

The 4:3 aspect ratio seems to be a more comfortable one, a little better balanced.

If Apple launches a phablet in future then I'll never ever buy another Apple product ever again..... like ever. Seriously it will be end of the company.

So how is that 6+ treating you these days?

I just caught that! I saw the post brought back up and looked at dumastudetto's recent posts... Found this:

The iPhone 6 Plus is a truly remarkable device. I couldn't be happier.

Just goes to show you people talk out of their before they even know what they're talking about.

This is funny!

I can still remember people freaking out when the rumor of the 5 came out and people sowre they would never buy another iPhone if it was larger than the 4/4S.

Hahaha

Seriously all of these posters talking about how 4 inches is the perfect size or 3.5 inches and always making fun of big phones, then apple releases a huge phone and they jump on it.

Like when I bought the note a year ago and all my apple friends made fun of the size now a couple of them own a 6+.

I swear.

I would say there is no chance of one anytime soon, and very little chance of there ever being one.

Well apparently I was wrong about that. Still wish Apple hadn't decided to copy Samsung.

 

[midwestfisherma]

Yes, it's called the iPhone 6+

It's more than that.

Apple acolytes (Macolytes?) have a very predictable pattern. If Apple has not announced something or has in any way hinted that they won't do something, then the hivemind is that the said feature is terrible and Apple will never do it and anyone who wants that feature is an idiot. Take your pick from styluses to big phones to whatever else.

Then, when Apple makes an announcement, even if it is in direct contradiction to previous announcements, Apple is brilliant and this will change the world and boy oh boy isn't it amazing how Apple is so innovative. Third party keyboards is a good example of that. For years everyone screeched that third party keyboards were all terrible and a security minefield and Apple's stock was so awesome that anyone who wanted something else was an idiot, then third party keyboards turned into a PRIMARY attraction for iOS8.

People really need to stop looking at brands and products with such a "cult" mentality. They're gizmos and gadgets. Some are awesome. Sometimes this brand does it better, sometimes another one does. I don't know what it must be like to insist that MY BRAND does everything better than everyone else.

I will say that the combo of iOS8 and the 5.5" screen made leaping back into the iPhone world so much more enjoyable than if I was still using tiny devices with only one available keyboard.
