Beyond the iPhone 5: The future of Apple's mobile devices
- colinprince 15y agoOkay, this just started to blow my mind. Regarding the iPod Touch: a data enabled device, with no subscription, that is capable of cross-device messaging, voice and video calls via FaceTime and gives the user the ability to walk away at any time and switch to another carrier. Now think about it this way: What if such a device was just called an iPhone? I think Apple, ever since getting rebuffed on the SIM-free iPhone, has been plotting an end run around the carriers, but first had to get them hooked on subscription-free income from iPad users. Brilliant.
