[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1185826"] a. It's looking increasingly likely that we won't get an "iPhone 5" this year. As has been done before, Apple will probably incrementally upgrade the iPhone 4 this summer and call it something like the iPhone 4X. We're also starting to see CREDIBLE reports of an iPhone-Mini if you will, something for the lower end of the market that ties in with [URL="http://www.apple.com/mobileme/"]MobileMe[/URL]. We'll see about that. I can't see Apple changing the hardware design of the iPhone 4 at this stage. Whatever they end up calling this year's model, it'll be an "iPhone 4 plus" rather than a real "iPhone Mk V." As for whether a future iPhone will be PPC compatible -- nobody can say, but I think the writing on the wall is VERY VERY CLEAR that Apple is unlikely to continue extending support for iDevices on non-Intel machines for much longer, if at all. So my GUESS would be "past this summer? No." [/QUOTE]
