Pure personal speculation about possible future iPhone models...

Given that - while market forces do seem to be driving phone screen sizes up in general - many people say they are still quite happy with the current iPhone size (indeed, there is a healthy market for "mini" versions of most Android flagships), and assuming that the rumours that the 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch models of the iPhone 6 will both have 960x1704 resolution "Super-Retina" displays are true & accurate; does anyone think that Apple might consider recycling that screen fabrication tech into one or two smaller models with 640x1136 resolution displays?

Maybe an iPhone Mini with a 3.7 inch display, and/or an iPhone Nano with a 3.1 inch display?

Whoops :Oops: Sorry, I didn't mean to post it there; I was browsing that forum when I thought of the question & obviously didn't remember to switch to the Lounge before hitting New Thread... :Grimmace:

I think Apple will introduce a 4.7-inch model. I'm much more doubtful of the 5.5-inch rumour. I do not think Apple will drop four-inch models anytime soon.
