Intel Germany CEO Hannes Schwaderer announced that Apple would be using the relatively new Intel Atom processor in a future iPhone release. The new model reportedly would feature a larger display, correlating with past rumors about a mini-tablet (720×480) device to be coming from Apple.
English translation:
As part of an Intel event for the 40th birthday of the semiconductor company at Munich’s BMW World, Germany managing director Hannes Schwaderer confirmed today what has long been a rumor on the Internet: namely, that there is an iPhone with Intel’s new Atom chip. The device is slightly larger than the current version, Schwaderer said. That is not, however, because of the Intel chip, but because of the larger display used in the new iPhone.
While Schwaderer refers to the device as a larger “version of the iPhone”, it could easily be referring to the rumored mini-tablet device, that some have suggested would be introduced at WWDC.
If Apple does release any product akin to a tablet or mini-tablet computer, I would buy one in 14.3 seconds flat. Though I might spend a little more time weighing the purchase if the the price is higher than $999, or if the specs are incredibly weak.
