Apple's Steve Jobs: 'no one's going to buy' a big phone -- Engadget

Apple is prepared to eat their ex-CEO's words soon. It's funny that Apple fanboys listen to everything Steve Jobs/Apple says like they were gospel when Jobs and Apple treat them like sh*t. I still remembered the day Apple once suggested that UI functions should not be represented just by color alone. I forgot the exact reason behind that, but it's something like colors could have different meaning in different culture, and they are poor identifiers for colorblinds. Yet, when OS X comes out, the close/max/min buttons are colors only until you roll the mouse over the buttons. The thing is, their words only mean so much when it works for them. When they want it the other ways, they would pretend they never say it, or they will invent an excuse -- usually "because they've done it the right way."

UPDATE: Turns out that I am the one who needs to eat one's own words. Apple did not release a bigger iPhone. The iPhone 4S is almost identical to the iPhone 4.
