I fully understand how it works. You and I will both agree there is a point of "too big," Apple just may have a different idea of where that point is at.
It was hypothetical, how big is too big for people who think iPhone 5 is too small?

Grow up.
As for the sales, have any of the individual iPhones broken 100-150 million in sales? I think nokia dumbphones will hold that title for good haha, I wonder what kind of new device could drive such sales in the future. Might be whatever emerges after today's version of the cellphone.

I normally start at 9am but on keynote days I just head in around 10am or so. Keynote is normally up by about 7. It finishes by 9, then I get ready / go to work and spend the rest of my work day on the net for the rest. Gotta love IT admin jobs.
Well, it's all relative and varies with everyone, but two clear cut markets and levels of portability break your assumptions that there is some continuum of size that stretches into another market for most. Just because iPhone 5, a phone with a relatively small form factor in the market, is too small, doesn't mean people will jump markets to get something that's much more niche and much less portable.

Found a buyer for my 4S. Bring it on, Apple!!
Bold if you just want to use a tablet to surf the web / watch videos.
I would choose the other option if you are really interested in gaming on a tablet.
Can't go wrong either way in terms of the phone choices (assuming the "5" is better than the 4S).

you give to much credit to the masses. People dont give a fuck about apple, they don't have some sort of loyalty to them. If apple misses the mark, either they dont show off something to wow the tech ignorant, or they miss price, then those non neckbeard basement dwellers will gladly switch to a cheaper or more innovative alternative.
Consumers are a fickle bunch, no logo discusses the brand bubble bursting, sony knows first hand that people aren't loyal. People are cheap, and ignorant, they either buy what they're told to buy, or buy the cheapest.
iPad/mini/iPod touch with an android device that tethers for free out of the box. I feel that's the best of both ecosystems, though the nexus 7 is a better choice than any other android tablet.

I haven't had good luck with 4S personally. Got a new one under warranty but GPS is acting up in this one. I like 4's reliability more.
I don't know, BRING IT APPLE!!

Are you really calling this a prediction? Seeing as how it happens every single time?

Wow. It really is barely bigger at all.

Yeah it's just slightly taller. Nothing too drastic. Also, the iPad mini looks perfect in size.

WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL IT THE IPHONE 5??? IT'S SO FRUSTRATING TO ME LOL

Watch them call it the iPhone 4G just to piss off everyone.

All indications are that it's already being produced. Patience.
Neither. Being able to share purchased apps between devices and being able to take a picture on my iPhone and have it show up on the iPad automatically is a big deal for me.
John Siracusa's friend seems to be confident that a Retina MBP 13 will be introduced.

That was fucking awesome.
Maybe just a doubling of horizontal and vertical of whatever it is now? I think that's how they've been doing things.

I went iPad + galaxy s2 (s3, galaxy nexus or one x now)
Apple is still ahead of the pack in tablets, the nexus 7 was a step forward but there is still a way to go. In terms of phones, they have been surpassed and there is nothing about the iPhone 5 that we know that puts it ahead of the competition

2560x1600, nice. I'm amazed you can't get a better screen than 1280x800 in the current 13inch mbps.
I cringed when I saw all those people on twitter expressing gratitude for apple delivering 4G to their phones with a software update on at&t earlier this year.
why is Rick Ross voiced by Cee-Lo?
iPad + high end android phone. iOS is nice at 9.7" but sub-par at 3.5"

They've been keeping it low just to make the retina one seem more amazing. Or because they knew they couldnt double the resolution of a higher res screen and still keep it cost effective.

I love this imaginary spec race that people on message boards think actually matters. It's cute. Nobody in the real world cares. The next iPhone will outsell everything else on the planet, will have the highest customer satisfaction ratings, legendary build quality, best usability, and best app store by a mile. What else matters? Oh right, it's all about screen size, which defines "surpassed". Please.
IMO it's the other way around.
iOS on the iPad could be so much better. It's annoying to me how the menus & the home screen doesn't make use of the iPad's bigger screen size. Very lazy IMO.

I say the opposite. Nexus 7 and iphone. I feel like the openness of android is benefited more by something closer to a computer/laptop in size.
iOS is good on everything. So iphone. That and the hardware is always top notch, like the camera for instance.
It will be the 5th unique SoC.
The internal Apple labels for the iPhone always listed the iPhone 3G on the same level as the original iPhone, since it used the same SoC and just added a 3G chip.
iPhone 1,1 = iPhone [620 MHz 1176JZ(F)-S chip]
iPhone 1,2 = iPhone 3G [620 MHz 1176JZ(F)-S chip]
iPhone 2,1 = iPhone 3GS [833 MHz S5PC100 Chip]
iPhone 3,1 = iPhone 4 GSM [1 GHz A4]
iPhone 3,2 = iPhone 4 CDMA [1 GHz A4]
iPhone 4,1 = iPhone 4S [1 GHz A5]
iPhone 5,1 = This iPhone [New SoC]
Well, you have proper tablet optimized apps as opposed to the lame phone ui-stretched apps that you find on android tablets.
Completely agree. Such a waste of space.
