What is Apple Planning on Making with this 3x3cm Touch Screen?
Tw.apple.pro posts a few images of an Apple-branded touch screen that only measures 3x3 centimeters. The site has been a source of early parts for Apple products in the past, including white iPhone 4 parts and MacBook Pro enclosures. Based on the machine translation they aren't quite sure what the part is for. Though, they speculate about an iPod Touch nano, iPod Touch shuffle and even a touch-screen wrist-watch.
We're not sure what to make of it. The screen isn't the right proportion to be used in the current iPod nano, though Apple could change the design. We're also taking their word on it that it's even a touch screen.

Very interesting. 30mm x 30mm is a very very small screen. Some sort of wearable phone or iPod? New Apple TV remote? iPod shuffle with display?

Definitely iPhone nano

Touchscreen in lieu of a trackpad on MacBooks/MacBook Pros?
Edit - obviously way too small. Maybe the "new AppleTV" will have a small touch-screen?

That's really bizarre. The square proportion makes it look like an old Philco television. Maybe it's going to be a new type of touchpad. Is it a "retina" display? If it's standard resolution, it would be too small to be visually useful.

How the he'll would you read or touch anything on such a small screen. It probably is just a prototype for something that they didn't make full size due to cost. Perhaps a prototype retina display just to see if the pixel density would work or something

3x3 cm is ridiculously small, what could possibly function on 3x3 cm with a touch screen? What about people with large fingers...
