"Could it be a coincidence that Cook gave his speech on the same day the photos were leaked?"
It's about as likely as snow in the Sahara in summer!
No hype is bad hype .......

To disagree without being disagreeable is the art of debate. Simply because one has a strong opinion, it does not necessarily make an alternative opinion less valid.

Love the flip-flops lol.

You don't need a 4" screen.. here's a 4" screen.

You don't need a stylus.. Here's an iPen..

I know.. both are just rumors, I just find it amusing.

Yup, they're doubling down. More "leaks", More denial, more Hype.

All of which is great for Apple.

I'm not aware of Apple making any statements about 4" screens.

If I dispute one single point in a post, that should not be taken as an indication that I agree/disagree with any other point made by that poster or anyone else in the thread. Or anywhere else. Ever.

No, I caught that part. What I mean is that to the best of my knowledge they have said there was anything wrong with 4" screens, or that we don't need them.

Quoted from Gizmodo who took it from his Biography:
"He mentioned it publicly and in his biography. He believed Apple already had the perfect format. According to his own words, the company worked for years on finding just the right ratio, and they found that 3.5 inches was the optimal and most comfortable size. The one and only size. He even joked that 4-inch Android phones looked like skateboards."

Who cares about the leaked design of a product that will be underpowered and lacks features of phones that are already on the market.

Obviously "you" care. Anyway, how do you know what the power and features will be on the upcoming new iPhone? You don't!

And still, the people who seem to care most about what Apple or Jobs have said in the past are the detractors :lol:

Here's the inside of the leaked device.
http://9to5mac.files...ntglass9to5.png

Underpowered? The battery is bigger than the motherboard. It follows the same design as the iPad 3. Motherboard on one side, battery on the other. Besides all phones are ment to do one thing. Call People. You can't say that an iPhone is not a good phone... especially when it's the world's most popular phone. I've looked at Androids, like the razr Maxx and Samsung Galaxy 3. THEY ALL DO THE SAME THINGS. The next iPhone is a big move for apple though because the lte spectrum will allow it to do things so much faster, and since it's the most popular phone... a lot of people will want it. The Design however should look like this... I think it's not good enough if this is true. It should come in chromatic colors like the iPod Nano's did back then and feel like an iPod 4th generation in you hand but with all the components of an iPhone. Soft to the touch but still incredible inside loud outside. As for lacking features... what?? There's an app for that. It's called fuuuu.

Even more amusing is watching the iHaters comment on Apple, solely based on rumors. Hey, if you don't have a good argument with real facts, you might as well make them up... right? One would think that last year's frenzy of iPhone 5 based rumors (from the same sources) that were based on a new "tear drop" shape would caution at least somewhat intelligent people from give such rumors any credibility. Sigh...

My favourite bit is where they whine interminably about Apple not doing this, that or the other, then whine some more when Apple are rumoured to be changing their minds.
