Hey, guys! How's that iPhone mini treating us all?
Oh. RIGHT.
Too early. But so is every year.
You were saying the same thing about the ipad mini for years. Face it, Tim Cook's Apple is not SJ's Apple. We're gonna see new things SJ likely would not have done.
More options is not a bad thing. Apple has always had multiple options on the Mac side. Makes sense the iOS side will catch up.
U think apple sould leak a rumor that a larger phone will be out this year... If in fact it was? Or misslead to surprise and maintain sales till it is announced?
Its in Apple best interest to pump the iphone 5 and denied any rumors of course.

I doubt they would. There are some potential advantages with misinformation but I rarely see any presented that sound reasonable.
I think it will largely come down to the design. Going from a4.0 to a 4.8 screen sounds like a huge jump on paper, but feels a lot smaller in person:
Nice....i actually had the S3 for a while...returned it for an iPhone 5. I loved the size of the S3 but not that it didn't run IOS......But i still stick to my observation...I'll believe it when i see it! :-)
"In a report issued to clients on Wednesday, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek..." Speculative fiction writer Peter Misik? That's all I need to read, thanks. I'm done with this fantasy football piece.
This rumor has to be crap. Sharp and LG are already making 440ppi LCD3 screens at 5in, Sony's making 343ppi at 4.3in, others are doing things in-between...I hardly suspect there's 'yield' problems.
Well... Sony will sell a total of 10 phones, htc 50... you know how it is. With apple, it's a little different. (5*10^7)
Apple plans to introduce an iPhone with a 4.8-inch display and additional processing cores to help stem market share losses to rivals...
In a report issued to clients on Wednesday, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said Apple's product roadmap had called for a 4.8-inch iPhone to launch sometime during the 2014 calendar year but added that the company recently made an unsuccessful attempt to bump up its launch into the back half of 2013 amid increased competition and lost market share to rival Samsung.
Hey Misek, Apple doesn't play the Market Share gain. It still has the lion's share of the mobile profits and has the num 1 selling phone. That being said, if there is money to be made in a mass-market segment, Apple will be there.
I dont agree.. Apple is not substituting i5... It is expanding the line to offer more selection and compete in the larger screen area. I think that has to happen this year.
And i think this report is misinformation. ...
And I think you have no idea what you are talking about, or even responding to.
The article states this as if he had insider info on their product roadmap. Seriously?
That one piece of paper is likely in a safe, with zillions of guards and only 1 key, with retina scanners and a holy knight standing by incase the checks fail to chop off the offenders head!
Apple plans to introduce an iPhone with a 4.8-inch display and additional processing cores to help stem market share losses to rivals like Samsung but has been unable to accelerate the launch of the product into the 2013 calendar year due to challenges in producing enough of the larger displays, one investment research firm said Wednesday.
In a report issued to clients on Wednesday, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said Apple's product roadmap had called for a 4.8-inch iPhone to launch sometime during the 2014 calendar year but added that the company recently made an unsuccessful attempt to bump up its launch into the back half of 2013 amid increased competition and lost market share to rival Samsung.
What marketshare losses would these be? They sold more phones this year than last year and it looks as though the iPhone 5 outsold the Galaxy S3 and Note combined. We know Android overall is growing faster but it's certainly not causing any growth loss to Apple.
If the losses are so dramatic, they can't afford to delay a 4.8" phone until next year (lest they be doomed). I wonder what excuse they'll go with next year when it doesn't show up:
- Apple tests multiple screen sizes so we just report what we see
- Large screen yield still hasn't been sorted out so expect it in 2015
- It was all lies to sway the investment community

Unlike its competitors.
top notch quality? Did you even read the article? There are already quality control issues with larger displays according to Jeffrey's report.
Also, doesn't Samsung control something like 95+% of the AMOLED market?
Holy crap! did YOU read the article? Or are you reading comprehension deficient?

I was under the impression the 4 and 4s were iphone mini's. Hell even the ip5 is an iphone mini to me. Little phone, very high price.

So an iPhone mini, then.

Didn't Tim Cook just diss OLED yesterday? Now we're to believe the next iPhone will have an OLED display? Really?

I honestly think that since Apple has ignored OLED for this long, they'll never use it for any reason.
They'll leapfrog it and use a QD display.
Size does matter?

Exactly. I guess he was too busy writing his analysis to do any fact checking.

Wow, way to twist an article Appleinsider.

Damn, you're right. Not my first error today!
