Maybe they sell it as an unlocked phone as well. But as I said, I think a phablet iPhone might be the next version we see.

Yes --- an iphone mini on iOS6 would be able to run Apple maps!

Now seriously, they could very well make several sizes in the future --- 3.5" and up. But definitely not a cheap iPhone mini. They have cheap iphones now (the older versions) and they are some of the reasons iphone 5 isn't selling as well as Apple hoped for. Apparently a lot of people are still getting the 4GS.
