A report has resurfaced today from Daily Mail that Apple is working on releasing an Iphone Nano before Christmas.
This is pure rumor, and could very likely be pure BS. Since when has Mail Online become a source for breaking news about Apple?
But, they “broke” the story and it is currently taking up a lot of space over at Techmeme. Because it has to do with Apple, it resonates with the tech echo chamber. But, it is very likely based on a really thin rumor that has very little basis in reality.
Let’s look at some facts:
- Apple is barely keeping up with demand for the new Iphone 3G – which they JUST released.
- The Iphone is, in case you hadn’t noticed, pretty damn small already.
- It is a phone. How small can it go and still be useful?
If we see this hit a site like MacRumors or AppleInsider, perhaps I’d put slightly more stock in it. But, when I think about British news organizations, I think sensationalism with a mix of bullcrap.
This story is link bait through and through. And who found it interesting enough to comment on, despite the obvious hook? This guy. 
David Risley is the founder of PCMech.com. He is the brains, the thinker, the writer, the nerd.
Maybe there goal is to make it so small, it breaks easily in your bag
.
haha i wonder how successful that will be. i know it will appeal more to females since its nice and small, but it also takes away from the point of an iphone – to browse the web easier :/
