Now they have exactly the size they talked so much crap about. Just one or two years after the competition Phone will be nice but if I would believe Apple's own words it should be a no.go for us. |
The decision reflects the difference between Apple under Jobs and a post Jobs Apple. Apple said they weren't going to make a small tablet either under Jobs before the iPad Mini was produced following the shift.
Odd that they stayed with the 4" phones for as long as they did considering that Apple has traditionally been among the first to push new standards (3.5" floppy over 5" floppy, dropping floppy drives well before other PC manufacturers, dropping optical drives before other PC manufacturers, standard Firewire interface for video cameras, etc.).
I think in many cases, Apple's stubbornness in complying with consumer demand for standards set by other designers simply reflects a degree of hubris often affiliated with the company.
