MobileMe should have been free in the first place. At any rate, it's good to see Apple responding to competition.

Facts
When things get smaller they break easily
When apple makes a product expect it to be overpriced
When your apple product breaks expect apple to wash you off their hands
When you dis apple products expect apple fanboys/girls to flame you like crazy
When you buy apple products, you have essentially allowed Steve Jobs to steal your soul for all eternity.

Yay...smaller iphone. Will NOT sell.

They will sell so many glass kits due to the screen going edge to edge. They are taking the automotive approach on this one....Make more money off maintenance and parts than the actual vehicle they sold you.

Does this one require a case too? Gg now any attempt to hold the phone will result in signal loss."you're holding it wrong" - Steve Jobs

That is one of the most idiotic statements I've ever read.


I hate apple btw.

 

[osxsier]

Im sure they will sell a ton of them. It might be especially attractive to people who dont want a contract and would like to take to Metro PCS or another cheap provider.

 

[tripplenipple1224]

Half the size?!?! WHY GOD WHY

 

[mayankleoboy1]

smaller= fail

Gonna have to agree with packard bell, apple doesnt do anything cheap, the mac mini was supposed to be cheap, as well as the ipad, and both of them are north of $600

Dick Tracey 3G video call iPhone nano with bluetooth stereo headset? ;-)

 

[Guest]

Why does everyone think that this thing wont sell? Look at how many variations of iPods Apple has and sells like hot cakes...if anything, this iPhone Nano (as I like to call it) is an attempt to saturate the mainstream market with more Apple products to fend off the Android army. Great idea; I just hope it has a keyboard.

Will people pay $1000 for a 3G smartphone that's pretty enough, water resistant up to 5 atm, charges via a mat, synchs via bluetooth, has a bluetooth stereo headset, can make 3G video calls, AND be a watch?

 

[mrhappy50]

To apple a "cheaper" smaller iphone means pricing starting at $149.99. I'll just stick with my POS cell phone thank you very much.

That makes no sense. A smaller screen is much more difficult to break than a big screen. A small case can be much stronger than a big case.

I prefer a small phone to a huge brick that doesn't fit in my pocket.
The only problem I see with a smaller screen is that iPhone Apps are specifically designed for a 3.5" screen.
