iPhone Nano Concept Photo?

so the question is... are iPhone apps able to handle different resolutions? I know some web apps aren't (or weren't, at least).

otherwise, that could pose a problem, but it's something Apple will have to deal with eventually.
 
I'd think the camera lens would be the same size as on the iPhone... but it's smaller. Also, everything is smaller except the earpiece opening and the side rocker and ringer switch... what are the chances of that? I guess they could be using the same parts for those, but then why the smaller camera lens? And really, who the hell wants a smaller iPhone?:confused:

Wow some folks here and their thoughts are truly funny. Wow LOL some of you provide great laughs. The first pages of this thread are the best!!!!!!!!
 
Here's what i think. stop arguing about the image, it is fake, most of us can tell. What is not fake is the market for non smartphones, so the concept could be real. i like the idea of it being based loosely on the current nano. i have an ipod touch i take everywhere i just need a simple small phone that makes calls, sms, and a camera. No apps, no GPS, no video, no wifi.

iPhone nano but not like this

I had the original iPhone and loved it. Things have changed. I still love the phone but my circumstance is drastically different. I no longer need many of the features of the iPhone. My phone recently crapped out and I can niether afford a new one or afford the 30$ monthly for data and there are many in this economy that are in the same boat. I would love to be using an apple product again.

I think apple would do well with a product aimed at those with tighter pocket books just as they do with the iPod bit I doubt this is the product. Back to basics scratch the gps, bluetooth, web and email, keep text, phone, ipod and the appstore apps for games and widgets @ 4 gigs $99 with contract and apple will sell a product to those of us that bought a phone almost 2 years ago and are up to renew a contract in june but cant justify a 3G iphone in the current economic state or have since realized the iphone was way more than we needed.

Typing on the smaller screen would be no biggie if the text app was landscape capable, if so the keys and keyboard would be as big or bigger than the current iPhone in portrait orientation.
 
People are so foolish, they get everything backwards. This picture is clearly a photo of the current iPhone (on the right) and the new iPhone Giga. Finally an iPhone made for a man.

Someone in Russia owns the domain and is redirecting all HTTP requests to apple.com/iphone.

Nothing to see here, move on.

That domain was probably bought years ago. Domains cost maybe $10/year, so companies will (if they're smart) buy up similar names if for anything else to keep others from semi-stealing their thunder. How many hits do you think the previous owners of MLB.com got before Major League Baseball bought it?

So basically a domain name being taken means only someone (probably at Apple) bought it up so they didn't have to pony up hundreds of thousands later on to use that name. Yes, www.macbookair.com was bought up about a year ago, but I recall other similar domains being registered to Apple as well.

Speaking of all things domain, how much of a battle would be going for apple.com if Apple Corps was as big now as it was 40 years ago?
 
This is clearly a fake.

Look at the "3G" logo.. It has the old design, from an older firmware.

Why would they show this, on a brand new iphone?

Take a look at these 2 ads: the phone in the eBay ad is obviously different... I think this video is in line w/ the specs of the case, even if the photo is a fake...

iPhone Nano:

the first video is squashed down or stretched sideway, making the phone and hand look shorter....the earth is not round and neither is the email bubble thing that has 9........

if u click on the video it takes u to the youtube page and u can actually see the video being stretched at the very beginning
 
Re

Yeah, maybe... It looked funny when i saw the ad on TV too though. Could've been the aspect ratio ...
 
as the picture shows, the nano would have the same functionality as the iphone.

smaller form + same functionality would make it more expensive then the iphone.

=> fake
 
I really do not get the point of an iPhone nano. Having the iPod nano makes a lot of sense, but the iPhone nano? Seriously? Just, why? You'd still have to have a contract, and all the nano would be doing is making the critical screen and touch keyboard smaller than they already are, as well as limiting space for games, photos and data.
 
iPhone Nano = Epic Fail. Poor concept. Yes it will make money... a lot of money. But I see it as a step backwards from what Apple should be doing. The only way I could see this as being cool is if other carriers offer it, like Verizon. That would change things. Otherwise its a waste.

So MWSF will be like this according to the rumors:

1. Mac Mini Redesign
2. Snow Leopard (shipping Q1)
3. iPhone Nano

Hopefully we see an Apple TV redesign along with these things... if that comes, I will be a happy man.
 
Hotcakes

These Iphone-nano's will sell like hotcakes!!

I want one now! The current iphone is to big in my pocket.

Bring it on..the apple stocks will rise !!!!

why lots of people assume this "nano" thing is going to cost less than the current one?? :rolleyes:

there're allready touchscreen cell phones that are smaller than iphone, and they are generally more expensive!

and apple isn't in the business of offering more features for smaller price than competitors folks!

so add a little on the those prices (both the device and the subscription), and you get somewhat realistic price point for "iphone nano".
