iPhone Nano in the works?

If they make a iPone nano can they actually make a new design instead of shrinking the original iPhone design.

Its already hard enough to type on one of those never mind if they make it any smaller...

I really don't see any logical reason to do this. I'd imagine that if it were smaller it would be so much easier to drop it and for it to get "misplaced". The screen would also probably be easier to break because the smaller size of the glass would make it weaker.

I agree with you guys. The iPhone seems like the damn near perfect phone. It's hard to imagine any practical need to make it smaller. As a guy with large hands it's already a bit tricky to use most similar devices and I can't see making it smaller really helping this issue for me.

That said, you can't ignore that there is a HUGE market for smaller cell phones. It might not appeal to us, but it does appeal to a massive number of consumers out there. It seems to be the first thing they do with any successful cell phone. Though 21Q, I wouldn't worry about it getting misplaced. In an era where people are quite used to dealing with tiny iPod Nanos and Shuffles and even tinier bluetooth headsets, I'm fairly confident they can keep track of this device.
