Does anyone else want a WIDER iPhone 5?

**BLiNK** · 09-05-2012, 03:34 PM

yes, wider is better. AND i say 7 years

**Sharma15** · 09-05-2012, 03:40 PM

Idk. I like the width of the phone I think it's good. A little bigger like half an inch wouldn't matter to me I think it'd make the keyboard easier to type on if anything. I was hoping this iPhone would get rid of that empty space on both top and bottom of the phone, maybe make the home button more flush. Oh well lol.

I know the fanboys will say to buy an Android product if you want a wider phone but that's not what I prefer. It will probably take another 4 years to get it but does anyone else want a WIDER phone- not just longer?

**nzrocketman** · 09-05-2012, 03:51 PM

Yea i would prefer it to be slightly wider, doesn't have to be much. i think it will make its appearance look better

I haven't owned an Apple product before but will considering the Iphone 5 once all the confirmed details are announced.

Don't really care...the current size is perfect as is.

**JustMe'D** · 09-05-2012, 04:07 PM

Wider? At times, I do, but I'm content with the current size. Still, it'll be interesting to see the new screen size and how well it displays things.

**cardfan** · 09-05-2012, 04:17 PM

Just turn your iphone sideways. Now you got wider.

No need to thank me.

**ghostface147** · 09-05-2012, 04:50 PM

I think it should be the size of the Nexus S 4G. That's a very comfortable size for me.

**cariduros** · 09-05-2012, 05:02 PM

Too big. I have small hands though.

I would hold judgement until you get it in your hands. I'm willing to bet minds will be changed.

**Massie** · 09-05-2012, 05:34 PM

Exactly what I want...right now the 5 looks too narrow at that length for me.

**spcurtis81** · 09-05-2012, 05:43 PM

I'd prefer wider. The new dimensions just don't seem right to me. Didn't someone else already try the the chocolate bar dimensions before?

**BParker4381** · 09-05-2012, 05:43 PM

I would not mind seeing a wider iPhone. I think (if true) the longer screen for the iPhone 5 will be a good improvement, a wider screen would be a lot better.

**Lynx** · 09-05-2012, 06:52 PM

I want the iPhone 5 to be the size of the HTC Rezound. I never owned that phone but played with a ton when I would go into the Verizon stores and it just felt perfect in my hands. I will more then likely get the new iPhone anyway because I want 4G on my iPhone. I hate switching to my GNex to get 4G!

**Fausty82** · 09-05-2012, 07:18 PM

The screen is rumored to be 1136 x 640... 1136 x 639 is exactly 16:9.

It works for me.

how in hell did i become the OP of this thread?? lol

**ladyc0524** · 09-05-2012, 07:51 PM

I wouldn't mind if it was wider...

This. The new design is slowly growing on me, but I need some hands on time.

I've stated this from the beginning. I need to physically handle the device before I decide if I want to buy it or not as well as determine if the new screen size is a plus or a bust.

Wanna put money on it?

Just teasing you Jeremy.

**redbeard** · 09-05-2012, 11:29 PM

It's kind of bittersweet, while I was hoping for a 4" screen, I wanted it to keep the 3:2 aspect ratio, whenever I've wished for more screen space it's always been in width, not height. The statusbar could benefit from a little more width, so could the notification center, along with virtually every iPhone app. Just increasing the screen height will benefit us how exactly? Another row of static icons? I have never watched a movie on my phone and I doubt I ever will. That new Nokia phone makes the iPhone look horrible dated, where is the innovation?

I'm thinking the same.

Seriously iphones have had the same size screen for 5 years and now Apple bringing out a stretched screen that looks out of proportion. What have you been doing for the past 2 years Apple, I expected so much more from Apple there just is no wow factor anymore.

I feel you are right. It seems that we have been receiving leaks about EVERYTHING. So much so that I don't know if there's anything else to be surprised about next week. We shall see.
