Orange CEO confirms smaller SIM cards, a thinner design for iPhone next-gen

The head of the Directorate of telecommunications wireless giant France, Stephane Richard, revealed in an interview again a number of details on iPhone next Apple, including smaller, thinner design. Richard also confirms a previous report that France Telecom, the Orange brand carries the iPhone in 15 countries, and Apple are working together to develop a small SIM card to accommodate a fraction of the next-gen iPhone.


"We will work with them to standardize a new format of SIM which takes into account our needs for security and authentication and is also consistent with their wishes in terms of size," Richard said all things digital in an exclusive interview. "I understand that the next iPhone would be smaller and thinner and they certainly seek a space".


Richard had especially good things to say about the operation based in Cupertino, California of Steve Jobs, the telecom executive criticized means controlling over Apple when it comes to its app approval process and its effects on access to information.


"Everybody talks about the neutrality of the Net," he said. "The neutrality of the network is not dealing with only pipes." It also stores the request management processes. If you people like Apple manage their application store and say 'it's OK and I do not want to see this app in my store', this is a problem. ?


The revelations of Richard has not prevented with Apple and the iPhone. In terms of Microsoft-Nokia partnership recently, CEO, said "seems difficult" for both companies to "reverse the rather negative tendency" they have on the market, but does not rule out the possibility of a rebound.


Research In Motion and its BlackBerry line is concerned, as Richard admits that his company "regularly" has problems with the operating system of RIM, compared to iOS from Apple or Google Android, but says that the prevalence of the mark "not really decreases" at least in Europe. However, he adds that more recent devices of the company "had some quality problems," and that "they really should fix very quickly" gaps in their products.
