Cloud Computing: Apple Prophecies

Returning from Asia Jefferies financial analyst and Apple follower Peter Misek said several iPhone 6 prototypes and an iTV, presumably integrated with Apple’s mobile ecosystem, appear to be floating around. There’s reportedly an iPhone model with a 4.8-inch Retina+ IGZO screen, 128GB of storage and a new A7 quad-core processor. Misek expects an iPhone 5S with a “new super HD camera/screen, a better battery and near field communications” to ship in June or July. It should come in six and eight different colors instead of just black and white. There may – heavy on may – be a cheaper iPhone, a “retooled iPhone 4” with a “scaled-down modem [and] apps processor,” targeting pre-paid and emerging markets, especially in Asia, that could sell for $200-$250. Foxconn could make 200k-300k a day. An iPad 5 could launch around June with an IGZO screen that would cut the thickness in half and significantly reduce the weight.
