It seems the "iPhone Nano" is the rumor is going to be the one to take the spotlight ahead of this year's Macworld, and while we are publishing these photos and rumors, we at MacRumors have serious doubts about the likelihood of such a device. These doubts are based on the quality of the sources as well as the practicality of introducing a new form factor to the iPhone/iPod Touch platform.

This image, which was submitted anonymously, provides a glance at what the rumored iPhone nano may look like. The images appear consistent with previously released case designs for the rumored device.

At this point, we have no reason to believe this photo is real and are labeling it a "concept" design for the sake of discussion.

Many have commented on the smaller screen, but that looks somewhat reasonable. I guess my fat fingers may have to give it a miss, but it would all come down to how the implement the design.

Well, if it is this and the Mini, then maybe MWSF won't be so bad after all?!?!?!?!
 
I sure wouldn't mind a device that much smaller to carry around in my pocket, but I don't think I would give up any more screen size. If it is free with a two year plan though it could be interesting.
 
i think the idea of an iphone nano is real.

could go for $89

apps will be limited to whatever ones can work with the device.

Music -- same
Phone -- same
Video -- same


2010 iPhone for all carriers in U.S. (by that time...there will be multiple models)
 
Honestly, this whole idea seems really stupid and pointless to me. The iPhone is small enough as it is, any smaller just makes it harder to use.
 
Not happening! They'd have to redesign and reconfigure the whole touch interface for the new size. As would all the developers with wares in the App store!
 
Anything smaller than the current iPhone would have more problems with typing than would be worth the size. Besides, the iPhone is already one of the slimmest phones out there - I don't get why someone would want it smaller. Wouldn't that just make it less appealing because of the smaller screen for movies? Wouldn't it be more expensive, if it is everything the iPhone is, but smaller?

Generally, you pay a premium to get the same thing smaller.

I have the 2G iPhone, and I'll buy a new one if they make the volume buttons work with the in-ear headphones. That's all I need.
 
dumb

this is surely a mac "rumor"

this photo they took the iPhone 3G and scaled it down in size... and put it next to the original..

no one i know would want this smaller iphone. not even women with their dainty fingers.

Apple does not cater to "low end".... so an $89 price point or free with 2 year is pointless speculation.

sure there can be improvements to the current iPhone 3G, this is not one of them.
 
Why does everybody thinks an iPhone nano should be allmost the same as the original iPhone.. What about a iPod nano form factor, no touch-screen (so no appstore or what so ever), no internet.. just an iPod nano with some call and text functions.. maybe a camera..

The whole idea in this picture is pretty useless.. there would be almost no difference between the nano and the original..
