Apple iPhone Nano

A picture comparing Apple's iPhone with the iPhone Nano which is supposed to come out in October 2008 was published on Flickr. The iPhone Nano, as usual, will be smaller than it's first generation predecessor but also cheaper retailing for a price of $300 or less.

The iPhone Nano will have a smaller 2,75" screen compared to the 3,5" screen of the iPhone Classic. According to this comparison it will not offer Internet access which is a huge drawback if you ask me. It is still multi-touch and combines a phone and music player in one device but will only ship with either 4 or 8 Gigabytes of Ram compared to the 8 or 16 Gigabytes of the classic iPhone.

I personally can't see that the iPhone Nano will be highly successfully especially if you consider that it will not have Internet and less storage. Do you think it is a wise move to remove Internet from the iPod Nano? Let me know.

Update: It is now 2012 and the iPhone Nano has not been released until now. Rumors have come up every now and then that Apple may be about to release the Nano version of its popular mobile phone, but those rumors until now have always been incorrect.

Apple may however still be working on the device, for instance to push it out in emerging markets and to consumers who do not want or need Internet on their mobile phone. The Internet mobile boom on the other hand may be something that speaks against it, and it is very likely that the device will ship with Internet enabled after all. This would not only mean better connectivity for its users, but also more profit for Apple considering that users make use of the company's app store to install new applications.

    That nano pic is not true because it is past 2008 but i have heard rumors about an iphone nano coming out later.

    Nope, Iphone nano should definitely include internet otherwise people like me will have no choice, but to purchase phones from competitors with smaller, more convenient phones that are internet ready. NO INTERNET< NO SALE. Iternet is standard for smartphones, there is no reason why this iphone nano should be a dumbphone. Not having internet is like not having a steering when for your car.

    I actually stopped using my iphone. It is big and bulky and not very female oriented. It doesn’t fit in a pocket for girls clothes. It takes up half the space in my purse. I can’t take it night clubbing.
    I just want a phone, text, and a to-do list app. and my itunes playlist. I sent an e-mail to apple requesting a smaller phone for “tweens”. The iphone 3G is for people that have a job and not for students. Parents won’t spend that kind of money for data packages for their kids. They will buy a Nano size iphone with basic features without internet for the kids.

    I am tempted to try the small iphone that is made in China… I think it is called the K08, with double sim card….

    I think if there is no internet access, that would be a big drawback. In this day and age, our gadgets do need to be up to date. However, from a point of view of cost, it will open the market to those who currently cannot afford the iphone. I love small, as think small is beautiful, however the internet access is such a plus, I personally could not now do without it

    I know it’s pretty obviously a fake but if you need more proof it clearly says no internet, but there is a Wifi signal strength bar in the top left, and the glare on the home buttons is identical meaning it is just a scaled down version of the original picture. Also apple would not do this as the app store’s apps would not be compatible with this new hardware.

    I’m definitely more interested in an iphone nano if it does exist. As much as I’d love to have an iphone and the internet at my fingertips wherever i go, the $30/month access charge is as much as I pay for high speed to my home. I can’t justify paying for internet twice, but having wifi like an ipod touch would be the next best thing. If this doesn’t pan out, I’ll likely have a phone and an ipod touch to have the best of both world.

    Apple would never make a phone without internet. Plain and simple. When Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone, he emphasized “a widescreen ipod, revelutionary new phone, and a mobile internet device.” Its these things that currently define the iPhone, and the mobile internet is one of the things I use more than any other feature, and I seriously doubt that it would be excluded to make a smaller device. look what they were able to do with the 3rd gen ipod shuffle. More features in a smaller package. this is definitely a fake.

    Look, The nano appears to still have wifi access which is some common place it is like having 3G, plus the huge cost barrier for a lot of people isn’t the cost of the device it is the hugely expensive data plans you have to pay for every month. I think it has a market look at how many people have bought the shuffle (ugh). All that said this point is likely mute since this picture looks faked.

    Ummm, no internet? Why on earth would you cripple a nano iphone with such a useful, inexpensive feature? Are they trying to save the $1 worth of hardware required to make it internet capable?

    The nano is exactly the phone I want b/c the classic form factor is a BRICK. I want a small feature rich phone with all the bells and whistles.

    I think the people who want internet access will obviously opt for the normal iphone.

    But others, such as myself, that already have a blackberry for work, or for those non geeks, who want a cool looking phone will want it.

    Brilliant idea to increase there market share for non-internet seeking, yuppyish people.

    Maybe they removed the i-net because the keyboard was too small as it is. I don’t know how typing is possible on that size of screen. This is for the rich OC 10 year olds.

    I don’t think they should remove internet. This is one of the things that makes the iPhone so great. I hope they also have email capabilities on it as well. Some of us prefer the larger capacity models for different reasons and professionally it makes sense for people who rarely have the time to sit at a computer. Smaller models should not offer anything less but the space. How people use the room it is entirely up to them. I think all applications should be open to it as well. I think a smaller version of the iPhone makes sense since I have been told by friends that they wish they had one but it’s just too costly.

    On another note, parents I know tell me how their kids want iPhones. Why not make it easy on the parents’ budget, too? I say go for it and leave no feature behind! If the iPhones made such a big hit when they 1st came out, why wouldn’t the Nano phone do as well?

    I think it’s a great idea to remove internet. There are a lot of people that choose another phone over the iphone just because they don’t want the extra charge, but they would still like to have an apple branded music player and cell phone in one device. People that want internet can just go for the original iphone. Why do you think At&t even SELLS phones like the RAZR v9.

    The Nano is a “beta” for some future development of the iPhone – call it the “Nano Plus” – which will have all the functionality of the Classic (plus any new features that may have been developed in the meantime) with the Nano size and (maybe) price tag.

    Apple is releasing the thing in order to get consumer feedback and decide if people like the new smaller size. If they do, then the “Nano Plus” with Internet access will appear in a year or two.

    i think it’s a good idea.

    then more TEENS whose parent’s say they don’t need an iphone because it has the internet and they don’t need the internet would be able to get it.

    which is my case.

    that’d be really cool. especially since there’s a new iphone that’s like 200 bucks, the nano would probably be like 100.

    good idea.

    there would be no reason for apple to take of the internet unless there was some reason… and i think the reason is because it’s going to be a pay as you go phone, so it’ll be more affordable and be opening up the iphone to more people.

    I think the whole idea of inventing a smaller version of the iphone is a great idea!!!…..BUT, personally I don’t think that it will sell just because it doesn’t have the internet on it. And on top of that it doesn’t have alot of space to hold what you can put on the phone.

    Firstly thats a scaled version of the original (photoshoped) and its also improbable as the home menu button wouldnt be smaller, because know first hand apples insistance that that particular button be finger/thumb tip sized, no smaller.

    Yes!!! I had the org. iPhone and I loved it but I didn’t use the internet and e-mail nearly enough to justify the very expensive bill. I gave it to my wife who uses that stuff all the time for her business. The pic above looks awesome, the fact that you will not have to pay for the insane data bill is awesome! I’d rather pay an extra $100.00 more for an iPhone nano with not data that can pick up Wi-Fi like the touch then have to deal with a 70.00 plus bill every month to use the internet/e-mail on the go. Can’t wait until October if that’s the date!!

    Removing the internet features is a mistake if you ask me. The number 1 reason why the iPhone was successful was due to the way it handled the internet. Does this also mean the wireless functions have also been removed?

    It still does not support 3G and does it still support Edge?
