No iPhone will be called "nano"

in iPhone edited January 2014
There may or may not be a smaller iPhone, but I argue that it'll never be called a "nano". Apple has yet to have two product lines have a product with the same second name. This simplifies things and helps people know what you're talking about by using just the last name.



The "nano" is a small iPod.

The "mini" is a small Mac.

The "air" is a small Macbook



I think a small iPhone will be an iPhone micro or iPhone finger. If they made a flip version they could call it iPhone fold or iPhone flip.



But no "nano."

    You just busted your own argument. The Mac mini was released during the life-cycle of the iPod mini.



    Besides MacBook nano just doesn't sound good and iPhone nano does. That is important believe it or not. "Does the name have a ring to it?" (pardon the pun) Yes it does. I'd take bets on that name. It just feels soooo right. When people were saying MacBook nano I wasn't think "but there's an iPod nano?", but I was thinking that name sounds dumb.

    I misspoke a bit then, but I bet you that Apple's marketing folks learned from that and realized that it confused the brand. You haven't seen duplicates since AND the iPod mini disappeared shortly after.
