2012-04-10
this is Timothy Collins I figured I had here actual callers yeah he's been drinking Timothy how can we help you I can help okay good and a lot of rumors about like a larger screen iphone yeah and 4.6 images i think is ridiculous but but I think I have an idea about how they could do this few times when it's brought up bloggers they will it camp dummies know what iOS to set for ab work in one way well have you ever realize that when you run an app and you're on the phone call and there's that green bar at the top it squishes the content you're saying wearing six-inch green bar is what you're saying in a way is the study computer you can go the other way so imagine a streamlet at six-forty but instead of a nine 60th you like an old 1120 it would fit it would fit on the same size device and all apps would currently work with just black bars but looks great so I think just so I understand what you're saying you're saying that the screen would be larger but they would use the real estate differently in the sense that there would be a section maybe for notification notifications or widgets or some pledges are you and us dreaming now that allowed and then that would just be what hanging around when you're writing an app now when you're reading app that hasn't been redesigned to have black bars it doesn't make sense to me I think four point six inches is a whit whit literally sweating out the ipad ipad just got retina display and all those other crappy eps was off oh the iOS developers are a really good ecosystem and they're really good is just updating that well no no i don't think there's a question about the app update i don't think it's a i'm not one of these peoples like look if they wanted to make a four point six inch display they could just change the resolution and say here's the new resolution of our phone but it would do it and everybody would just do it like that's what you do like because you're moving to the next you know and you'd have whatever a universal binary for the older for would scale me nor would scale right um I'm more concerned about the idea that the size is four point six inches which to me I feel like Apple has been very careful to not to not like in a way price out the people and I don't mean actual price but like in terms of the size price out people who really don't want a huge phone and I think that's actually a relatively large segment of the market I think we have some idea because of Android that like people is dying for bigger phones but you know I was raised on the millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of iphones that are so and millions of iphones that are sold hey women I I totally understand anything I'm saying I think people to say a force defense screen up missing the win I'm seeing a foreign screen it's simply taller but fit on the current size I know it's great I agree with you in the current like this thing you know the 4s are you saying that you're saying he wants to just extend the same bar you're saying that it would be yeah you see this that you're saying that this the white pearl call it would become black screen right right anyway the home-buying would be a virtual home button right a virtual woman or it would just be elongated is the first the first sight that rumor that the next iPad would be vitally thicker in the span postage of the same source that the new iphone would be eight millimeters taller that was given enough room for lightly elongated right well yes I actually think that that if if you I don't know if you've ever read any of our reports about the next iPhone the iPhone 5 which was obviously not not with the four ass that's that the Cinco via the Cinco um you know it I think the screens gonna be bigger I just think 4.6 is like a weird place to be for them why not four why not 4.2 why not you know I just that all right I think they're gonna go around for the 4.1 area and then I think I don't think they're gonna make iPhone any wider I agree i think they're gonna do i believe they're gonna do like if they go up it's gonna be very slight they're gonna and it's the kind of thing where they say we increase the size of the display and so it looks better than ever but we but we either kept the size the phone the same or actually made the physical size of the phone smaller they could do that in four inches yeah they could do din four inches by by decreasing the bezel and I think they saw the pixel density to call the redness the pic we did the math on this a pixel density would be totally within Retina Display levels anyhow fact thank you for the call it's a really good point really interesting food for thought
