Big-Ass iPhones Coming Soon

At some point next year, making fun of people-with-big-ass-phones won't seem as funny anymore, since Apple has decided to jump on the big-ass phone bandwagon — Reuters reports that Apple is cooking up some plans for a 4.7-inch and a 5.7-inch iPhones which may be introduced next year.

UNDER PRESSURE
Apple's possible shift to offer what is often referred to as "phablets" - chunkier smartphones not quite big enough to qualify as tablets - comes as the long-time consumer and investor darling faces pressure to deliver more than one new handset model a year. Critics say its pace of innovation has slowed since the death of legendary co-founder Steve Jobs.

It seems that the Samsung's Galaxy S4 has really taken a bite out the iPhone market — which leads me to the questions; will we ever get those tiny earplug phones from Minority Report? And what happened to the time when the future of phones was suppose to be the smaller the better.

$99 iPhones?

With lots of pretty colors and cheap plastic, hopefully BPA, PVC, lead and phthalate free for your baby's safety.

BROADER PRODUCT RANGE
Analysts say the company needs a cheaper gadget to push on in growth markets in China and India, and to counter Samsung's edge in having phones priced up and down the spectrum. China, the world's biggest smartphone market, is set to grow 48 percent this year, outpacing the global increase of 31 percent, according to industry forecasts.
