Regarding the screen, using a 1024×768 screen would allow for slightly beyond 4 inches diagonal at 300+ dpi without introducing an entirely new resolution. The resulting 4:3 aspect ratio would indeed be a bit odd for a smartphone, but it’s very common among consumer digital cameras.

Did you learn how to formulate a thought BEFORE it escapes out of your cerebrum?
Did you learn the difference between beliefs and facts?

Don’t tell us… your posts are based on facts, not opinions, right? You must have read these above “facts” somewhere, which gave it sufficient credibility for you to believe them?

Its like iDiots would rather loose out on features they want and need just for the sake of holding onto the iPhone name.

I can’t see it.

Do you need quad core graphics at a resolution of 960×640?

Look how much more battery is in the new iPad. One reason is the A5X chip.

Maybe a slightly faster clocked A5 would be fine until Apple gets the ARM A15 going for next year along with the new Imagination Technologies Series 6 GPU.

iPhone 5 won’t make any sense since the iPhone 5 is already out.  iPhone 6 won’t make any sense since they would skip directly from 4S to 6.

Looking at the /new/ iPad bets are on LTE, larger battery, 1GB memory and a faster, more powerful CPU.  Maybe A5X, but I believe size wise, this chip has increased greatly, so may not fit in the iPhone.

T-mobile support? T-mobile WON’T chase after Apple.  Meaning it’s up to apple to decide to put in the Band(s) for the iPhone to work on T-mobile.  If T-mobile offers the iPhone, they will exclusively offer it on their Value plan.  Why?  As how at&t claims they have the fastest, verizon claims they have the best coverage, sprint offers the “truly unlimited”, T-mobile will have the “cheapest”.  And $5 for 200MB of data, $10 for 2GB, $25 for 5GB, is quite a bargin.

Larger display.  I’m almost betting no.  Here is why.  They can increase the size of the display, but keep the 960×640 (I believe that is the amount of pixels.)  Only problem is, the pixel density will drop.  And I don’t think they will do that, because that means their iPhone display will be less sharp.  Apple could increase the amount of pixels and larger display.  Only problem there is:  Fragmentation.  ALL the app stores will have to be “resized” to fit the larger display, or otherwise they will fit “awkwardly” on the new iPhone.

There was a reason why the Retina displays doubled (or quadrupled, depending on how you look at it) the resolution.  It was the easiest way to keep the apps the same or optimizing them.

iPod world?
I’m betting that the Classic will be “killed”.  May be replaced by larger capacity Touch.
iPod Shuffle?  Be dropped and replaced by a 4GB “nano”

I’m betting we will see this:
iPod Nano: 4GB, 8GB 16GB
iPod Touch: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. (depending on cost of storage, 16GB might be dropped and 128GB added)

Warning: Now I’m being crazy.

What Apple possibly could do.

The /new/ iPad.
The /new/ iPhone. (no 4S, 5, 6, etc..)
The /new/ iPod. (no shuffle, touch, etc…)
The /new/ MB.

What does this all mean?  Well we know what the /new/ iPad is.  The /new/ iPhone will go along that lines.

Apple will drop the shuffle, nano, classic, touch and replace it with one that is simply called the /new/ iPod.

In the Laptop world?  Apple will drop the Air and the Pro and make 1 line up of laptops (essentially airs) that will be called MacBooks. (Ranging from 11 inch to 15 inch. I don’t think the 17 will survive)

In the desktop?  Apple will drop the Mini, iMac, and Pro and make one type of computers called the /new/ “Mac”.

That would essentially be a thinner iMac.

I know it sounds crazy, but what this will do is condense their lineup of devices even more.  So instead of having to “clarify” /what/ apple device you have, you just say iPad, iPhone, iPod, MacBook, Mac, and everybody will know exactly what device you have.

I may disagree with what I said above (in reality I do), but apple’s focus is the iOS user.  So, it’s going to be simplified as humanly possible.
