Agree! Bringing a Iphone nano will totally damage the Iphones image, and it will impact design. And i am pretty sure Apple is not the type of company that would give up on design. I mean the Current 3G Iphone is perfect, i can not see how they could improve. If they make it smaller it would look very ugly and if they make it larger, then it would also look ugly.

  • The 'budget' reasoning is malarky. iPhone 3G 8GB is only $199, that's cheap enough.
  • Think about the selling points of iPhone currently: No stylus needed, due to such a large screen. Do you believe that Apple would basically back track on design all in the name of a 'Nano'?
  • Most apps would not work with a smaller screen. Not because of s/w or h/w, but because of the size of a person's fingers!
  • Apple already EOL'd the 4GB iPhone. If you want one, craigslist or eBay are your best options. They do not bring back that which has been EOL'd...
  • Lets take into account that this is an iPhone. The 2 main components are iPod and Phone (that's kinda why it's called iPhone).
I also heard that they might have a 1GB iPhone Shuffle coming out just in time for the holiday season in '09.

I'm with you... I don't see the point. Unless they are introducig the 4G size again and calling it nano, its completely pointless.

WOW... This makes is almost convincing... Maybe they'll simply be offering more colors, and a smaller Memory. Just to make them more affordable and to allow access for the Go-Phone Customers. Can you say $99? So the rumor finds a way to resurface....

Yeah. If it were cheaper than $199, it wouldn't be an apple product

I don't see why everyone is assuming it will have a touchscreen, they could easily make a flip phone or something of the sort with a click wheel and # keys. throw in the fact that you can sync it w/ itunes and BAM! iphone nano. A lot of teenage girls would definitely cry and beg their daddies to get them the new "tiny" pink iphone nano and with a cheaper price tag and service fees. sounds reasonable to me.

I don't think apple will screw the iPhones image for sake of teenage girls. And a flip phone are you seriouse?

I definatly think the iPhone Nano is around the corner and at a tempting price-point like $99 Apple would be sucking up a HUGE portion of the dumbphone market.

That being said, iPhone Nano will probably be a limited experience with a proprietary, tweaked version of the 3G's firmware. Also, I'd expect a SureType-esque keyboard for portrait imput.

sigh...



and then...



and finally...



My final thought: Sure maybe there could be a nano, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I mean you could consider that people watch video on their iPod Videos and the screen is considerably smaller then an iPhone/Touch. And yes you could make phone calls on, and we've already seen that it can be done as far as size goes...

But...

In my experience with smart phones (namely the HTC Wizard) with roughly the same screen size, sure the resolution is there, but it sucks having to look at it for any length of time gets very tiring and hard on the eyes after a while. Plus people have been complaining that the screen is too hard to type on already. Granted it takes some getting used to at first, but could you honestly see people trying to type on a screen that is even smaller?

As much as I hate to use this term, but a smaller iPhone would damage the iPhone "Experience".

Original iphone launch date was June 29th, 2007. 3G launch date was June 9th, 2008.

January 2009 is a GREAT time to introduce a new iPhone model and bring it to market. And I'm sure 6 months down the road another new iPhone model will be introduced that will replace the current 3G model.

Just like ipods, which they update every year almost, I'm sure the same will hold true for the iPhone. It has so far....

And a "nano" iPhone screen is plenty big to use in a pinch to watch a movie or whatever. People already do it on the ipod Nano and that screen is TINY!!!

I just bought my wife a Nokia E71 and the screen is smaller than my iphone(s) but still works great.
