Apple Working on 4.8-inch 'iPhone Math'

The device, which is expected to launch alongside iPhone 5S, rumored to sport 8-megapixel camera.

Among the speculation surrounding a cheaper iPhone, Apple is rumored to be working on a 4.8-inch iPhone 'Math'. (Likely just a codename.)

According to China Times, the iPhone Math will sport a a 4.8-inch display, accompanied by an 8-megapixel camera. It's apparently scheduled to launch alongside the rumored iPhone 5S in June.

The iPhone 5S, which is said to be available in multiple colors, has previously been showcased in alleged leaked images. The iPhone 6, meanwhile, was recently outed by developer usage logs, with the device said to be running iOS 7.

Apple is also rumored to be working on a cheaper iPhone, despite claims a cheap unit of its flagship device will never come into fruition. It's expected to generate upwards of $6.5 billion in revenue. A former CEO of the firm, meanwhile, has stressed the importance of a cheaper iPhone, especially for consumers based in developing nations.

I thought we all knew more megapixels doesn't mean better. At least the iPhone comes with 64GB of storage so there's plenty of room for HD camera footage and high MP images. Why would you need more than 8MP off a phone camera?

I thought we already have a cheaper iPhone; it's called an old iPhone.

Yes, because the screen will finally be big enough to display one.

iPhone Math.. kind of reminds me of Galaxy Note... With a 4.8" screen, I wonder if Apple is planning to copy the pen features from the Note..

Considering the current iPhone 64GB version costs about $400 more than the S3, I'd say you can get quite a many sd-cards to store that hd-footage. Do agree about the Mpix count not mateering though, unless you do something with those pixels..

Leave it to Samsung groupies to reduce everything to a number. I have yet to own a phone that could consistently taken better pictures than my 5 year old first-gen BB Storm. All with a 3.8MP (or something) CCD sensor, too!

Xperia bad camera tooLeave it to Samsung groupies to reduce everything to a number. I have yet to own a phone that could consistently taken better pictures than my 5 year old first-gen BB Storm. All with a 3.8MP (or something) CCD sensor, too!

Leave it to inconsistent trolls to give us a good laugh. Trolls that change their username from one post to another, yet oblivious to the fact that Xperia phones are not made by Samsung; that claim they have tried every phone out there, but could not match whatever quality their personal idol had.
Keep it up, troll; a good laughter in the morning was all we needed.
