why not just allow the iPad to make calls then? because it isn't practical to walk around with it.
there is no way that "phone" fits in a normal pocket
4.7" at the current 1136×640 sounds like a phone I'll buy (my daughter is desperate to get my 5).
I have never believed they would launch two new sizes at the same time. Very un-apple-like. Having 2 sizes in testing and settling on one for launch makes much more sense. And I really hope it's the 4.7", as a 5.5" phone is ridiculous and would make me consider non-apple options for the first time. Even 4.7" is really pushing it IMO (unless they get most of that space from reducing bezel size).
Really, is it that simple ??
Analyst jobs are a dime a dozen... so yes it is. My buddy went from an assistant to a development executive at Newline for about a year to a TV ratings Analyst job at Warner Bros. after he got laid off.
It's an entry level job. I mean worst case scenario is find a firm that handles consumer tech, apply for whatever entry level position there is and get your foot in the door and stick around until they hire more analysts... you could also go cold call and ask where they pull their temps from and apply to that temp agency to get in the door.
I think they should just have two models: 5.0" and 4.0". There are a lot of people who still want a smaller 4" device, and also a lot of people who want to go bigger. I think that 5" with a slimmed bezel would be the best compromise, as it hits that magical 5" number that lures in a lot of people without being a massive phablet. I would buy a 5" iPhone. 1280x720 would be 294ppi, and 1920x1200 would be 462ppi. So 1080p would be quite the overkill, but considering the A7 can run that today, the A8 die-shrink with a larger battery shouldn't have any issue. Making it 1080p today would cover them in the future if they decide to go bigger as it would keep the ppi above retina at even 6". Not that I think that's a good idea! People like my wife wouldn't buy another iPhone if they stopped making a 4" or smaller model, and people like my mother-in-law would never buy an iPhone if it remained tiny. I actually know several older people who only buy Android because they screen is easier to readeven though they hate the phone and can't figure it out! My eyes are starting to go a littlewhich is why I love my Retina iPad Mini.
Replace the word "sizes" with "iPhones" and you have an identical post from March 2013.
I'm not saying they aren't capable of surprising me; I'm saying it would in fact be a surprise. As the 5c/5s launch was last fall.
isnt that their job i dont see a nurse complaining when they suddenly have to wash a fat person
Agreed...as a developer there are only oppurtunities not problems.
Right, and my point was also thought to be "un Apple like" last year at this time and it occurred when they released both. There's been a lot of "un Apple like" things going on the past few years (Q3 iPhone refreshes, complete UI overhaul, Apple Maps QC error, "antennagate", etc.).
Hard to say what is truly "Apple like" these days.
@apple
You currently offer 11", 13" and 15" laptops. And you trust me to pick the size that seems right for me.
Even the iPad is offered in two sizes.
Please do the same for iPhone. I/we would love some choice, when it comes to screen size.
You don't need to decide for me.

Oh yeah. I knew that. Either way, it is too small for an iPad.
I either want to use a 4.7" to 4.8" iPhone and a 9.7" iPad Air. Fortunately, I have one of them, and I should have the other in six months.

the sad fact is that with a case on the Mega you cannot fit it in a normal pair of jeans or pants.
iPad Mini, and full size iPads, are already capable of making and receiving real phone calls.
Yes, because they have only changed it once so far in six years of phones. Added the iPad and iPad mini over that same span and some retina screens. Still, by my count, far below what happens almost monthly on the android front. Oh, and iOS users spend more money on apps than android users. I'm sure the devs will be reaching for their pitchforks and heading into the streets.
