So by that logic there should only be one size of personal car? Don't you get that people use their phones for different purposes and that for some of these things larger scenes are better?
I think you are taking the lessons from the Steve Jobs biography a bit too literal.
Here is another nice quote: if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Edit: you are wrong about the Levi's also. Diet coke tastes differently in the Middle East, the Big Mac has black sesame seeds in Beijing, and Milka chocolate is produced differently in the UK and Germany. Not everyone is equal and has equal needs.
He is saying they probably thought it was an iPhone screen when it is a remote screen
Funny, the watch band looks exactly like it. The Victorinox Swiss Army is very cool too! Nice watch!
You don't need to provide evidence for you claim. That would only support your argument. Which is that I'm wrong on something. Dare to say us what it was specifically?
Rumored Leak of All Your Dreams Coming True...
Stop toying with me MR. Soon you'll tell me that the iPhone 6 can be unfolded to be an iPad as well.
BTW if you get emotionally angry at Apple based on a rumor, you're a fool. "WHAT NO UPDATE TO THE MACBOOK PRO?!?! WTF"
Calm your tits.

That 2272 x 1280 just seems totally overkill, in that you're waaaaay beyond what a human can differentiate pixel-wise. That would just tax the GPU unnecessarily, lead to extra battery drain, etc.
And I'm generally with you on the second point, but I do think one larger size would be a good idea. I'm quite happy with the current setup, but yeah, enough people seem to like larger than 4" that it might be a good idea, even if it's a little tricky to pull off.
You said Apple introduced changed screen sizes from one option to one other. That is false. The 4s and 5 series coexist with different resolutions. In addition the mini and the normal ipad have different resolutions. You imply that apple determines what is right when it has introduced several products after long consumer pressure: iPad mini, 5C. In addition Apple has changed software features to reflect consumer wishes, such as the current control center in IOS 7.
It is clear that Apple does listen to its consumers and it is wise that it does. It is therefore highly likely that they will introduce a larger iphone at some point. Apple does not only look at things from a "what do we think is right" point of view, but also from an economical point of view. If Apple leaves money on the table by not introducing a larger iphone, than it will consider developing and selling one ASAP. It is their obligation to do so, as their shareholders will demand it.
Not true. The pockets in my Levi's are significantly larger than the ones in the Levi's my wife wears. I can carry an average paperback novel in my front pocket, and still sit down. She can't.
Agreed.
Maybe it's time for Apple to abandon hard-coded pixel dimensions and finally switch to true resolution independence.
All this time... developers were given exact pixel dimensions and they had to make their apps to fit a particular screen resolution. And it worked.
But it also limits options for the future.
Right now developers have to make assets in multiple sizes to fit multiple aspect ratios and pixel densities:
480x320 - 3:2
960x640 - 3:2
1136x640 - 16:9
Developers have to make 3 versions of a background image, for instance, to fit these 3 different resolutions. That's rather silly, in my opinion.
The switch from 3:2 to 16:9 is the worst offender... but I actually prefer 16:9 in phones. It was a change that needed to happen.
But Apple still has a 3:2 phone on the market today... and a hundred million more out in the world... so it will be along time until developers can abandon support for 3:2 screens.
It appears that Apple has painted themselves in a corner. They cannot change the iPhone's screen resolution without pissing off a bunch of developers... since all apps must fit EXACT pixel dimensions.
That's not very forward thinking...
That would be a little simpler. But I don't think they dropped the 5 for cost reasons at all. How much savings is there really between the aluminum housing and the steel reinforced polycarbonate with spray on hard coating and machine cut holes? $2?
Dropping the iPhone 5 was about product differentiation. So that consumers have another reason to buy the latest 5S model, because it looks different. This is the same reason the 5S has new colors gold and space gray.
I think this lesson was learned by Apple with the iPhone 4. I predict that in future releases the iPhone X lasts 1 year, and the iPhone Xs lasts two or three years.
Than they are using them wrong. There are iPad minis for things where larger screens are better. Apple chooses to not serve the Phablet market. If this imaginary market exists anyway.
Never read it. Siracusa warned me, he picked "the wrong guy" to write it.
The color of sesame seeds on a Big Mac in China does not qualify as a difference. If anything the pure existence of Big Macs in Beijing proofs we are all the same. You can feed Big Macs to human beings everywhere. With no need for choice of sizes. Two pattys of beef are enough for everyone.
More like, no one needs more than one (or maximum two) choices of RAM size. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with its RAM soldered to the logic board and customers can choose between 8 GB of RAM or 8 GB of RAM of 8 GB of RAM. Apple decided, they do not need to provide more than one RAM option for one of its best selling computers. One size fits all the people in the world. Its the right size. Not for always but for now. Thanks for proofing my point.
I'm not sure if you're just trying to troll to hard, Or honestly believe this.
Either way. wow. Just plain. WoW
I think you mean currently. But if that changes in the next year or two - clearly people won't be using them wrong then?
I proofed you point, and found it sorely lacking.
I bet you were one of the ones screaming that Apple will NEVER make a 7" tablet, before the release of the mini, because Steve said that. Then when it was released, your tune shifted to "Oh what a brilliant device." "Makes perfect sense", etc...
Your comments and attitude are those of a classic troll. And I'll treat you as such from now on.
It is hardly an imaginary market when millions of galaxy notes have been sold. Explain please how your logic applies to the German invented custom of introducing intermediate car models. Are BMW, MB and Opel and VW doing it all wrong with their broad product portfolios?
Maybe you should make up your own mind. It is excellently researched and written.
The sesame seeds make the whole Big Mac taste different. You should try it. I did. You don't get my point. The fact that even supposed universal products such as diet coke, the Big Mac and Milka Chocolate (I know the director responsible for the Milka chocolate product line) differ in taste proves that you are wrong in assuming that everyone is the same and should have the same needs.
