00:05:21 ◼   ► phone makers want to be on the market for some period of time because you just [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► don't get the economies of scale as you sell it for a couple of months at least [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► right so like you know it's going to strike a balance between not be they [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► just want their just one maker they're never gonna be except for like that when [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► they first introduced the phone then they can be a little bit had everybody [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► else but me they just have to be ok with three months six months of just being a [TS]

00:05:42 ◼   ► little bit behind because during that time there like ranking on you know so I [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► i totally by trying to go to an eight month or six months I cooler twenty [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► years I especially if they stick with you like 44 s 55 s cadence where you [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► just you know upgrade the guts and also especially since like we went you know [TS]

00:06:00 ◼   ► and 3G LTE in a pretty quick sequence relatively speaking there's nothing [TS]

00:06:08 ◼   ► surpassing LTE except maybe you know 802 11 AC that's going to have to be to go [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► in there and screw the radio so they'll be able to generate on the other parts [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► with a great you know let's relax a little bit we have like a world phone [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► the screen is done they're probably not going to go with a more dense fog rain [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► they could go bigger maybe you know that's honestly I think they have to go [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► bigger just to keep competitive in the market like I think I don't think they [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► have to make their only model bigger but I think they have to have a bigger model [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► because even though we all make fun of these fabulous things they're really [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► popular people love them I don't get it to be a phablet it just needs to be like [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► right now it's a skinny four inches I think they need to have a more [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► reasonable by to portion if I think I booked you for those 800 by 600 all [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► people love that everything was so big you could actually see things you can [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► use your big fat 0 person finger in it like they just gonna make a 4.5 inch you [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► know iPhone same read everything on the screen will be dead but this group I'll [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► be cheaper because like the density will be lower so even though the screen is [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► bigger pie apple less money to make you could put an even bigger battery and [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► there's nothing like last forever and you get all these awesome advantages [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► actually so so you know how the LCD cutting theory could have predicted the [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► mini what if you do the math backwards what if you cut the retina full-size [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► iPad screen to iPhone resolution how big is that so many ways by saying all right [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► if you just take the 3G s do it backwards from the from the full sized [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► retina iPad format physical size are from that dpi rather how big what an [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► iPhone 5 resolution screen be at that dpi something you need to I don't think [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► you do that I think they just need to decide how much bigger than four inches [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► you want it just make the screen that they like I don't you know the screen [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► cutting theory the thing about the screen game series even if you a hundred [TS]

00:08:20 ◼   ► percent by that that's how the technology of manufacturing LCDs works I [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► think Apple changes their screen supplier like every single device [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► because they're always chasing the next guy with the next best deal is going to [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► offer them the better screen for less money like you know that LG sharp [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► samples but they also always have volume problems they always are like shorts are [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► short on screen that they always need more screens so what we gonna do like [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► they have they have [TS]

00:08:45 ◼   ► multiple suppliers but once you have multiple supply guy basically but I [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► think like a couple of a couple of size and if that if that cutting theory is [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► correct then you could gross you can dramatically increase your yields and [TS]

00:08:56 ◼   ► simplify everything we only have been like two DTI is that you buy screens but [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► only if you're sticking with someone like only if the guy who was making new [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► year are your retina iPad screens is also the same guy you're gonna get to [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► make your iPhone plus sized screens and I think when the iPhone + goes out they [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► just rebuild the entire thing and they like they give no particular advantage [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► of the guy who was making the screens of the same dpi for some device especially [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► as far distances the iPad 3 like a good just to rebuild every time to best [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► manufacturers with special with the exhaust tough line so you know whoever [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► is offering that like it if that guy who's doing the iPad 3 screen whether a [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► sharper whatever they can offer the exact thing that I can you describe it [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► all the time I just set the suppliers against killing dogs and just wait to [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► see who comes you know survive in like that that's the TSM see their ATM [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► whenever they like those I know I read like they're they're obviously so [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► incredibly hungry but just that followed video card manufacturing in the ATI [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► Nvidia wars back in those days they both manufacturers [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► SMC and it was sometimes good and sometimes disastrous I don't doubt that [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► they're hungry I do worry that they're going to you know make a deal that Apple [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► will accept exists an awesome deal on then just not be able to deliver all [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► gonna be sad so I have two questions firstly if you take a iPhone plus that [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► is not written by standard iPhone standards because if it's late and I'm [TS]

00:10:32 ◼   ► tired but I the DPI the iPad is considerably less than the DPI of the [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► iPhone [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► well to 64 and the other one is like it's like three twelve-hour or something [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► like that [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► considerable so anyway so if they make an iPhone plus with the with the 264 dpi [TS]
