To better compete with their rival Samsung, Apple is now debating making iPhones with bigger screens. Cheaper models and diverse colors have come up in the conversation.
Apple is looking at 4.7 and 5.7 inch screens for next year’s new iPhones. There is a movement within Apple walls to make ‘phablets’, bigger smartphones in sizes, but they still aren’t tablets. They want to move away from the standard 3.5 inch screen used in every Apple phone since 2007. Keep in mind the very successful Samsung Galaxy S4 is Galaxy Note 2 screens?are 5 and 5 1/2 inches. But wait, there’s more. They’re ?planning to launch iPhone 5S next year, which is rumored to used fingerprints to identify the user. There are plans to give cheaper versions different colors, while keeping the more expensive ones black and/or white. These cheaper version if iPhone 5S is rumored to go as low as $99. I’ll believe it when I see it.
So what do you think? You know Apple is trying to get back to it’s heyday of being number one in the technology game. Remember when their stocks were?nearly $700 a share? Remember when they thought they were unstoppable? Now Samsumg is taking over that role, especially in rising markets like China, which now has the world’s largest smartphone market. It’s obvious to me the bigger screens?are a?way for Apple to compete and take the #1 spot, especially in China. Do you think it will work?
