The upside to Apple’s everlasting patent brawl with Samsung is, that every once in a while some interesting internal documents surface granting us a rare look behind the scenes of the most secretive company in the world.
This week an internal presentation slide came to the public attention, in which Apple concedes that consumers want what Apple currently doesn’t have: smartphones that are either large (>4 inch) or cheap (<$300). The fact that Apple realizes it was a mistake to ignore the phablet trend for so long, is all but proof that this year’s new iPhone will indeed feature a larger screen.
We’ve recreated the chart that shows why Apple has probably changed course on big-screen smartphones.
