'But HTC and Samsung have raised the bar with their latest handsets and Apple needs to respond with its next iPhone. The iPhone user interface is now six years old and badly in need of a refresh. Hardware-wise, the biggest dilemma that Apple faces is what it does with the size of the display on the next iPhone. It cannot afford to ignore the trend for larger displays in premium smart phones. We expect an increase on the iPhone 5's 4' display but are not anticipating a 'Phablet'-style iPhone.'"] canalys 3:08 PM

"I'm a little confused here. I have a Canon Vixia HF100 that records in 60i frame rate (among others) and outputs in AVCHD. I never have any problem importing into either iMovie or FCPX. I was under the impression that both iMovie and FCPX convert on the fly to .mov files. In fact, FCPX optimized media is also a .mov file, albeit a ProRes 422 format vs the imported original H.264.: So while I can record and output in different frame rates, neither application has ever skipped a beat.
