Which size of the phone below do you want next iphone be?

That's not the experts saying that, its the marketing team.:sarcastic:

No sir. It is experts. Are you a Human Factors engineer or ergonomist that knows about these type of things? I happen to be a Human Factors Engineer, so I know a thing or two about this...

I would say people can comfortably navigate a 4.3" display. And why can't Apple just give us an option for a bigger 4.7" or 5" display? People that like the 4" iPhone and the people that don't can get the 5" iPhone.

Apple CAN give it to you... but they have a business plan, and are acting on it. You can always save your pennies and start your own company to manufacture phones and devices of your choosing. Perhaps they will eventually produce additional/different devices, but for now, they’re don’t. It’s the golden rule: they got the gold, so they get to make the rules.

I have a question that is similar to that of the OP's. if Apple were to introduce a 4.3, 4.7 and a 5 inch iPhone (all 'without' retina displays), would those of you who demand a larger display still purchase one of them?

I don't think I would but if it was the only offering at the time, I would.
Good Luck

iOS IS designed to be used one handed. That's why the screens aren't huge like on Android. They designed the experience for a screen that at least 90% of the population can reach all corners. Android just designs whatever they think people want. Apple designs what people need.

Apple did not design iOS for one handed use; they designed the iPhone for one handed use. There's a difference. They designed the hardware around making it small enough to reach the entire screen with your thumb. They demonstrate that in one of their ads. If iOS is designed for one handed use they did a poor job of it. Android's OS is much better designed in that regard, whether or not it was intentional.

If it were 1920 x 1080 I would. Make 4.7" please. While I think 5" is stretching it a bit, I would check it out. When you say non-retina, what resolution are you suggesting 1136 x 640 ? No.

Because they design the entire experience around single hand use on a smaller screen. If they go any larger than 4" then this will become and issue.

Issue for some not all. I do two handed texting. iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Magnum. You get to use yours the way you want efficiently, and I get to use mine my way, efficiently. One would not affect the other. All will be well in Willie's World.

I use my iPhone one handed all the time! I like the phone because of it. I personally wouldn't want a bigger one because I wouldn't be able to secure the phone as easily with one hand and would probably drop it.

But are you against the choice of people wanting it?

You can want whatever you want. That doesn’t mean that Apple will ever do it. And to answer your question, I DON’T want a larger screen. If Apple ends up with only one size screen, and that size is larger than 4", then yes, I would be against it.

 

[pr1nce]

I hope Apple keeps the iPhone around 4". I'd be ok with a screen of 4.2. But any larger I wouldn't want it.

 

[Eileen89]

I would be fine with the iPhone 5...I would not be fine if it exceeded the size of the Lumia.

My co-worker owns the Nokia Lumia, and while it is ok in size, like you I would not want to see the next iPhone any larger than that.

LOL...What?

iOS is the core of the iPhone...both of them were designed specifically with one handed use in mind (to this point).

As much as you'd like to think you represent the majority of iPhone users in your desire for this large screen device...in reality, you represent a niche, and Apple does not conform hardware to niche requests, never have...never will.

I don't believe I said I WAS against anyone wanting it.

You are correct; I am wrong! But I still maintain that the one handed design involves making the screen small enough to reach all of it with the thumb. How else can you explain putting prompts, navigation, and icons at the top (and sometimes the top left) of the screen? I think to say that that's part of the one handed design is an insult to Apple.

As an aging baby boomer the iPhone 5 was a good size until Apple went and screwed it up with iOS 7. They made the fonts smaller at the top where the clock and battery life is as well as the words under the icons. And the color patterns on the icons don't make any better.

 

[li2327]

I wouldn't mind the size of the One. If it went any bigger then it wouldn't be an iPhone anymore.

Exactly the size of the Moto X.

 

[theKHMERboy]

I would say if apple do decide to go bigger I say it should go as big as the htc one.. I think that looks like a good size for a phone

 

[BuLL eTZ1]

I take no issue with the smart phones other than, the outrageous size of these phones that are being released. It is ridiculous. Now the new thing is curved screens, I mean really they are calling that innovative. Save your money and wait for the foldable screens. There is no innovation in curved glass. it has been around for decades.

Between the size of the Lumia 920 and Xperia Z.
