I think all the Engineers at Apple should have to watch this video:

If it isn't broke don't fix it. I have yet to hear anyone complain about the size of the screen.

Personally, I would NEVER buy a phone with a screen less than 4 inches ever again. The screen on my Droid 2 and my wife's iphone 4 are just not big enough for a good web browsing experience. Some people are fine with that screen size, but they can attract a lot more users if they offer some more screen size options. Check out my blog post about this issue: http://www.owenjohnston.com/2011/08/what-iphone-5-or-iphone-4s-need-to.html

Well HERE is ONE! The screen NEEDS to be larger. AND, there is plenty of empty real estate to accommodate the increase in size!

Then buy a wireless monitor and tote it around or buy glasses that enable you to see.

Tip of the hat to Apple for garnering more free advertising than any company I can think of. Well done, Cupertino!

Apple is finding out that the phone game is race no one can win. They are now near then end of the line in releasing a new phone that is substantially different (not necessarly better) from the previous model. That is where competiotion comes in, ie. PC's and Androids all compete with one another. Apple can only go so far by itself. Just my opinion on 35 years of buying computers and gadgets of all brands.

Us tech enthusiast tend to develop a myopic view of what people want in their gadgets. We get stuck on things like specs and configurability. It's so easy to lose site of what the general public wants. I was shocked when my mother, my sister, and my weed dealer all told me that they we waiting for the iPhone 5 so that they could upgrade. My mother, I could understand because she is upgrading her iPhone 3G. My sister has an EVO that she tells me she likes a lot. My weed dealer has a flip phone that he had to ask me to turn the volume up on, because he couldn't figure it out. So I wouldn't sleep on Apple, and their "made for everyone" products..

Who cares.

Another phone that their owners will replace in 6 months to a year "Because they are so great!".

[Hehlol]

You care.

You click, you read, you comment.

Just because you don't understand technology doesn't mean nobody does.

Dude, not only do I understand the technology, I can write the driver microcode for it.

I'm tired of the incessant Apple ads hitting the Front page and Tech Page every hour.

There isn't a day when 5-6 Apple Ads (articles) aren't in the Tech section.

Apple squelches rumors. Oh, and did you see our leaked iPhone 5 being missing coverage???

[RecreationalPilot]

12:08 PM on 09/05/2011

Wait?

Isn't this Deja Vu. Will a blogger get arrested soon after Apple/Police bust into his house?

Who spends time in this?
No, really

It doesn't matter what it does, the fanboys will line up to pay whatever the cost.

[RecreationalPilot]

Yeah. The phones are so great they are easily obsoleted by the next version.

Even most businesses know to skip a version or two between upgrades.

(Oh, that's right. They do it for Apple Fanboi attention when they go to Starbucks.)

Ok, someone breaks into my car and the Police could care less. Apple leaves a phone an a bar and the police are helping search for it. Maybe if I incorporate, I can get the same level of service as Apple gets?

I am beginning to doubt all these stories of "missing" prototypes. It all seems a half-smart marketing strategy.
