Hi Fanus, If you want to read the article, try the link without the probably accidental "a" in front of the "http". Here is the proper link:
http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/5/iphone-5s-rumors-and-speculation-includes-m ockup-5-inch-iphone Anyhow, the article is pure speculation and somewhat follows in line with the Apple bashing that has been going on for a few years now. Everybody has great suggestions as to what Apple should or should not do and how they need to come out with a 5 inch iPhone and all that. I for one would not want to carry around half a tablet size phone and I would be very surprised if Apple indeed did come out with a 5 inch model. I think if they had planned to do so they would have left the original 3.5 inch model alone and added a 5 inch model on top of that. Samsung and some others may dash ahead with some of these rather dubious technologies like NFC, but until Apple picks up on them and in many cases improves on them they often don't go anywhere. NFC is a good example, it isn't widely adopted at all at this point, there are serious security considerations and while I believe the future for especially small payments of maybe up to $20 or even $50 is in that technology it doesn't appear ready for prime time. One of our large banks in Canada recently announced some sort of payment system for up to $50 amounts, but I believe it's one 1 Blackberry phone you can get and maybe one or 2 other phone models and there is one or 2 chain stores that accept it. So until it's out there at every store and available on the iPhone along with a few other models of phones which make up the lion share of the smartphone market I don't see the point. While Apple revolutionized the smartphone market barely 6 years ago, they have now been putting out technology that works and is safe (with a few exceptions like Apple Maps), but sometimes it's better to go a bit slower and make sure what you release is stabil, secure and user friendly than to rush ahead with products or services that are half finished. As far as the camera goes, Nokia had a 12 MP camera in some of their phones for years, but the 8 MP camera on the 4S and 5 still takes better pictures. Just because one car has more horsepower than another doesn't mean it's not as good or better. I wouldn't disagree with the fact that we may see a new iPhone in June this year, but at this point only Apple would know that for sure and I'm sure we hear many more rumours in the next couple of months. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fanus Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2013 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: iPhone 5S Hi Allan When I try to open the link it says I need a program to read the web content.
