Interesting facts continue to emerge during the trial between Apple and Epic Games. Recently it turned out that at one time in Cupertino was considering the release of the iPhone nano. In 2010, Apple planned to develop a miniature version of the iPhone 4 – the device was mentioned in the correspondence by Steve Jobs himself.
The former Apple CEO wrote an email stating the need to create an inexpensive iPhone based on iPod touch to replace the 3GS… In a post dated October 24, 2010, Steve Jobs named the device iPhone nano and ordered a cost estimate and model or renderings to be presented to a certain Joni, probably referring to chief designer Jonathan Ive.
Rumors of the existence of a similar iPhone model first surfaced in 2010. It has been reported that Apple is working on a budget flagship model and wants to release a special version of it with the subtitle nano. At that time, the company was producing a miniature iPod, so the brand was as recognizable as possible.
Alas, Steve Jobs’s plans were not destined to come true, and the iPhone nano eventually did not come to light. In 2017, Apple discontinued the iPod nano, and in 2023 introduced a smaller version of the iPhone 12 subtitled mini.
