Apple's Next Big Thing is Small

new tech tuesday logoIs it just me, or are is the size of today's smartphones getting obnoxiously large?  It could simply have to do with my small hands, but phones like the iPhone 6 Plus are just too big to use conveniently.

If you think that over-sized phones are just too much to handle, then Apple's next big reveal in March may give you solace.  The company is planning to introduce the iPhone 5SE (SE standing for Special Edition), which will be a whopping 4 inches tall.  The new phone will be an improvement of the iPhone 5S, which will be decommissioned after the release of the 5SE; but internally it will be more similar to the iPhone 6.

The iPhone 5SE will also be equipped with NFC, which will allow the use of Apple Pay, a barometric sensor, and Live Photos.  However, the device won't support 3D Touch.

The 5SE is on track to go on sale at the end of March or in early April and will cost the same as a 5S costs now.  It will be available in the same colors as the 5S, including Rose Gold.

What do you think about Apple's latest product?  Despite the massive success of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which reportedly gave Apple its "best year ever", the tiny phone has major potential for those of us who would prefer to have a phone that fits comfortably in one hand.

Interesting. First, we had cell phones (bricks) that were very large and cumbersome. Then, everyone went small, and the smaller the better. Then, a few years ago, Samsung started going larger with their phones and Apple followed. And now, we are going smaller again. Who can keep up.
