Rumour – iPhone Shuffle

with 2 comments

Amid all the rumours of the new iPhone 5, one new product has been neglected.

Later this month, Apple is due to announce the most revolutionary mobile phone ever. It will redefine what a mobile phone is, how it looks and what it is meant to do.

The new device (an exclusive picture of which can be seen here) is called the iPhone Shuffle.

The iPhone Shuffle does away with the recent innovations of apps and music but it also does away with the traditional phone keypad.

The way it works is that you upload all your phone numbers to your iPhone Shuffle using a PC or Mac and, when you want to make a call, you just shake it. The iPhone Shuffle will then dial someone at random and you can have a chat with them using the supplied headphone/microphone combo.

An Apple insider told me, “We did a lot of research and it turned out that in 99% of cases when people make calls, they don’t really have anything interesting to say or care who they are saying it to. Once we found that out, doing away with the keypad made perfect sense.”

Personally, I think this makes a lot of sense and, at $49 for an unlocked iPhone Shuffle, it’s going to fly off the shelves. Expect queues around the block of your nearest Apple Store very soon.
