I really hope it's not just taller, that would look wrong.

I would like it to increase in width as well. If not, I might just upgrade to a 4S and hope they figure out a better size later.

I've been complaining about 16:9 aspect ratios for years.

 

[AMDZen]

You guys are going to be disappointed then, the display is going to be four inches, and 16:9.

iOS 6 scales to the exact resolution that the rumored 4-inch screen would have—and only to that resolution. There would be little reason for Apple to add support for 640x1136 screens if it had no plans on making them a reality.

If they announce new iPods today then I have my doubts on one at all. I just can't see an invent for just a downsized iPad.

[Phanuel]

Bleh, but I'm a sheep and I'll probably upgrade my 4 to this... :/

 

[Pheran]

Wow, if the 225 hours of standby battery life is accurate, that's pretty amazing.

 

[akshatp]

8MP camera too... I guess I will upgrade my 4S to this.

 

[lokiju]

Gah! Have to work with a customer in 30 mins but sooo want to follow this to see if they say anything about the iPad Mini or not

Oh well, can catch up afterwards.

 

[ManBearPig]

8MP camera too... I guess I will upgrade my 4S to this.

I thought they said the camera is pretty much exactly the same, besides what the better image processor can do?

I'm upgrading (from 4) because, well, I have a free update slot open lol.

 

[akshatp]

New connector called "lightning"

Lol thunderbolt and lightning. Nice.

 

[Pheran]

New connector called "lightning"

Lol thunderbolt and lightning. Nice.

Very very frightening?

 

[akshatp]

Very very frightening?

"But what about the stuff you have now that uses the 30 pin connector? Well we're working on accessories for that. Here's an adaptor."

... for the low low cost of 1 meeeeliiion dollars

 

[akshatp]

"we've also built in free turn-by-turn directions"

Gee.. thanks. Its about freakin time.
