A cheaped-up phone with a larger screen to be announced on 10th September say the rumours. It's interesting that this US article is bemoaning the lack of competitiveness in the US mobile space, and implies that Europe and particularly the UK is way ahead. It seems that Apple aren't going to rock the US carrier's cosy boat either by selling the 5C there. Obama's recent presidential decree to quash Samsung's patent victory against Apple whilst not intervening when the boot is on the other foot reeks of protectionism. It illustrates how introverted the US is becoming in technical matters, just as it already is in geopolitics. This is not healthy for the US.
