With the advent of the MacWorld Expo 2009 get a lot of rumors about the Apple brand of manzanita. One of the rumors is transmitted over the arrival of any change in size with the iPhone, a rumor that has always been there but every day becomes more intense.
As you can see in the picture could be presented 2 types of iPhone, according to the hierarchy of sizes on the Mac Nano and Shuffle are called, but the real buzz comes in the Nano, it would not be so ridiculous to think a smaller iPhone for those who do not need as much screen time to work, and that value plus a size better suited to lead more comfortable.
For the company it would not be so complicated to make a sale in addition to the iPhone 3G, rather than having 4 lines of icons on the dock, will have 3 plus the dock, because the technical characteristics would be similar.
Leaving an iPhone Shuffle is unreal because it is already doing too little, just out of space to put a keyboard in order to touch even the meager numbers to dial, and would be somewhat awkward to use to call unless it was with eartags, is for devices such as MP3 players.
Let see what the developments will be presented in January at the MacWorld Expo 2009, since according to Apple has confirmed it will be the last edition in which the company participates in the event.
