It is possible that the words of the Apple executive were misinterpreted: apparently, from an Asian medium ( China Times ) it is said that there could be up to three new iPhones that will arrive this year 2013. And the last thing that has been known is that among the proposals of those from Cupertino the possibility of launching an iPhone with a 4.8-inch screen is considered.
Things have changed at Apple: since the arrival of Tim Cook at the helm of the company, the course that has been taken in the company has differed considerably from the vision that Steve Jobs had of the launch of its products. First, an iPhone with a larger screen size, with a diagonal of four inches and dubbed the iPhone 5, was made available to the public.
After this launch, more recently, smaller models of the iPad, the star tablet of the Cupertino catalog, were introduced and the iPad mini, a 7.9-inch diagonal tablet, with features reminiscent of the second generation of the computer: 1024 x600 resolution and without being a Retina screen "" it is possible that this feature will arrive with the second version of the "" model, dual-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, although, yes, with a thinner format and using the new connector called Lightning .
However, Phil Schiller denied that the company was interested in launching a low-cost iPhone; Apparently this is not Apple's policy. However, this is not incompatible with releasing different versions to the market and leaving the old models (iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S) definitely forgotten in the forgotten drawer.
And it is that the China Times newspaper comments that Tim Cook's team is working on a model of about five inches of screen "" 4.8 inches to be exact "", which would see the light this year and that would be named after iPhone Match. In addition, the resolution of the camera of this version would be eight Megapixels.
But here it is not all: by the end of the year, a new model is also predicted, but this time with a more powerful photographic sensor; a model that would surpass the barrier of 10 Megapixels "" 13 MegaPixel resolution "" although no name is unknown key.
Also, to continue increasing the classic model, the third model that would see the light this year 2013 would be a more conventional iPhone "" perhaps they refer to the iPhone 5S "". This one is intuited to have the same form factor as the current model, although it would take some improvements, trying to get the market share lost with the last launch. And it is that not even recent updates have managed to improve performance. For example: with the update to iOS 6.0.2 "" update only for iPhone 5 and iPad mini "", it seems that the autonomy of the batteries decreased more quickly.
Even so, it is also expected that the latest version of the icons of the famous smartphone will be released shortly: iOS 6.1, where in addition, substantial improvements in the database of the Maps application could arrive, one of the latest headaches of the development team and already claimed a victim.
