iPhone 5 Rumors: My thoughts

So there are tons of rumors flying around about the next iPhone which, if history is any indicator, will be released this June. Some rumors revolve around a slide out keyboard, larger screen, the inclusion of a smaller/less expensive iPhone into the line- perhaps a nano or mini, and more.

It would appear that a phone much smaller than the current iPhone would lose a good amount of usability and definitely a poorer web browsing experience. I doubt the next iPhone will have a slide out keyboard. It makes no sense for various reasons. The iPhone currently has the best software keyboard around. Also, it's tough to make a good looking phone with a slide out keyboard, they're usually pretty ugly. Apple is in the business of selling aesthetics so I'll be shocked if a slide out keyboard is included. However, I would put some money on a less expensive model being released such as a mini or nano. My theory is that this new, lesser model will be similar in size to the current iPhone, perhaps as small as a 3" screen and the iPhone 5 will actually be a larger device with at least a 4" screen. It makes sense considering many rumors discuss a complete redesign and a secondary model in the line. Watch and see come June!
