It’s the Year of The Snake. All your iPhones, iPads, smartphones, computer, etc. are celebrating Chinese New Year. After all, they all were made/assembled in China.
Google Translate is really useful. I can fake that I know how to write in Chinese.
Mockup of a larger iPhone
Just another mockup of a larger iPhone with 640-by-1156 resolution screen at 264 pixels per inch. It would have made a lot of sense for Apple to use the existing Retina iPad screen production for the larger iPhone.

iPhone Math? You’ve gotta be kidding me!
I am still loopy from all the sedatives the veterinarian is giving me. I have an IV in my front right leg. Even with all that I can tell if something is not right. Why would anyone report the “iPhone Math” gibberish as news? I don’t think Apple would even codenamed an iPhone by “iPhone Math” in the lifetime of this Universe and the next few big bangs. I can come up with better fake news while I’m using my litter box.
Shame on you for reporting this as news!
OK, I have to get some rest. Meow!
