New iPhone to come in 2.8 inch screen size as well?

2008/06/14

Apple is already shrinking the screen size on the iPhone down from 3.5 inches to 3.2 inches, which is not that severe of a drop. It is just ample to allow the device to cut down on battery life a little, and to invent it thinner. It is rumored that there will plus be a miniature version of the iPhone, that will sport a 2.8 inch screen, which is nearly an inch smaller than the screen on the current iteration of the iPhone.

There are advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that less screen to illuminate is obviously going to draw less potential. that could help form up for the additional juice that the 3G chip and the GPS chip will suck up. that shot is a side by side comparison of the device sizes, which shows it will look the same as the current iPhone. Just think smaller with more features.

One negative thing about that photo, there is no gap in the face plate for a front facing camera. whether that is the real deal it shatters the dreams of iPhone video conferencing. One thing that would not be so great about the smaller screen is that means a smaller interface, and smaller on screen keyboard. that could prove to be a big problem for iPhone users whether the interface proves to be too tiny.
