iPhone 6... should it be bigger than a 5" display?

[CrackBerry Kevin]

If you're going to go BIG with a touchscreen display, does it make sense to go REALLY big?

With the current 4" display, the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s maintain their one-handed usability. But if Apple gets around to going bigger on the iPhone 6, at that point when you lose one-handed friendliness does it make sense to go REALLY big and offer more than 5"? Maybe 5.5" or even 6"? An iPhone 6 w/ a 6" display would make sense (and they could still also offer a 4" model for those who prefer the current model.

How big is the screen on that BlackBerry?

The next iPad mini should also have phone circuitry in it... maybe then the "I want a bigger screen" whines will cease.

​Nah Keep it at 5"

Z10 is 4.2", and Z30 coming out is 5".

Z10 is 4.2", and Z30 coming out is 5".

... and yet RIM is still fighting for market share... according to some, a bigger screen is all that is needed to sell a phone these days. No thanks. My vote is still for the 4" screen. Nothing bigger necessary.

Anything bigger than a 4 inch screen doesn't interest myself either.

 

[pr1nce]

I agree, I don't need anything larger than a 4" screen.

 

[rdiddy_25]

No. Apple will stay with the same screen size and drop the 4S next year to have uniformity across all the current iPhone models. Just my $0.02

 

[Good OL MC]

Does it need one? No, I'm happy enough with the current screen size.

If they make one would I buy it? Maybe. It is a weird question to try and answer. What comes first: the consumer desire for a larger screen or Apple making the case for a larger iOS screen?

I’m still moved to a point beyond words when users from other platforms march in here telling us what Apple needs to do. It matters not whether they are android bots, blackberry addicts, or windows folks... and whether they are forum mods, admins or trolls... my reaction is the same: "meh".

Keep the phone the same size, add phone circuitry to an iPad Mini, and let people use it as a speakerphone or have them tether a bluetooth earpiece to it and communicate that way.

If we can Skype from our iPads, we can phone from them too. Or should be able to.

I would like a 4.3" to 4.5" screen, keeping the same aspect ratio of the current iPhone 5/5C/5S. Nothing over 4.7" please. 5" is too big in my opinion.

Jimmy Kimmel to the rescue... proving that there are a lot of gullible people out there...

I wouldn't want it to be any larger than 4.5".

Given that Apple puts form at least on the same level of function, if not higher, I don't see an iPhone being any larger than 4.5" in the near future (before 2016). I could see Apple going with around 4.3" for an iPhone's screen size.

As one who prefers phone screens over 5 inches, I would like to see an iPhone in that size range, though.

I'm with you. I have had a Motorola xt881 with a 4.3" screen that was just a bit too small for reading/modifying a PDF on the fly. I'm back to my 4s as my daily driver with a QWERTY BlackBerry picking up the email end of things for now. Nothing would be as sweet as having one device that could combine a large enough screen to expand graphics without pixelating the hell out of it, allowing for voice dictation for email (aka Siri) and having it all wrapped up in a single device that doesn't look like a clip board held to my ear when it rings. Just my two cents ... OR ... We could go with Keith's idea of wiring up the ipad with phone circuitry. :cant-watch:

First Look: iPhone 5s - YouTube

My favorite was the young lady who licked the screen.

 

[theKHMERboy]

iPhone 6 will be the phone I am waiting for and I do hope for a bigger screen with a couple new features
