“Topeka Capital analyst Brian White told CNBC on Monday that data from the CES gave him even more reason to be bullish on the iPhone maker,” Aabha Rathee reports for Wall St. Cheat Sheet. White has a $1,111 price target on Apple, which happens to be more than 50 percent higher than Wall Street’s average of $740.
Really the two areas of growth are going to be tablets — 25 percent — and smartphones — 22 percent. – Brian White
Rathee reports, “This scenario, the analyst said, played right into the hands of Apple… ‘I think, you know, maybe it won’t be an iPhone mini right out of the bat, but I think a different form factor of iPhone we’ll see sometime in June … I think you’ll see a smaller, and a bigger; so you might see a premium iPhone, and a cheaper iPhone.

Nah. They don’t.
I think it looks stupid.
People can’t use them in one hand but have to hold them like a tablet and point with one finger. Looks really stupid to be honest. The other phone makers need to find things to differentiate themselves for Apple and a larger screen is it for now just like more cores and Flash support was before. Soon this trend will die and the manufacturers will find something else. To me a Samsug phone is nothing more then a plastic board with a big screen slapped on top of it. That does not make a phone good. How ever. A large screen is easier for older people. I have heard old people, like 45-55 liking the bigger phones.
