If the next iPhone did not have a bigger screen. How would you feel?

A nice 4.7 iPhone would be a perfect size device and I believe it would see like hotcakes.

I could deal with it if it didn't come out this time around. But I would prefer it. But I would need a Mophie to fit.

I want a bigger screen AND no more physical home button. Tap to wake would be nice too.

Agree. Add more gestures that also make the larger size more one hand friendly (for those worried about that) and get rid of the failure probed home button. Integrate fingerprint scanner another way. Maybe into the screen?

Also bump up the battery. Make a phone that easily lasts a day plus with super heavy usage. Its annoying having to charge my iPhone multiple times a day when actually using the phone. The paper thin is nothing when you constantly have to charge.

Does anyone know if a Mophie on a Samsung S4 super huge? Just curious how it may be on a similar size iPhone.

Hard to tell. I actually just saw one in best buy but it was tough to tell in the package.

I have mixed feelings about this. I want a bigger screen, but I'm also pretty okay with the size it's at now. The only reason i want a bigger screen is to make it easier to type. I've had Android phones before (GSIII) and loved how great it is to type on a large screen. I think Apple could bypass the need for a larger screen by making the keyboard better on the iPhone. Or even better, allowing 3rd party devs to create keyboard replacements. Swype or SwiftKey Flow on the iPhone would be heaven.

What about typing in landscape mode?

Who likes to do that all the time? It lowers the amount of the screen that's visible for the rest of the app.

I concur. I just don't care for a phablet like the Galaxy Note. I'm ok with the size it is now, but I think the 4.7-4.8" is the perfect size, but keep it as minimalistic in overall size as possible.

Very true indeed. I was just saying since that's our only option right now. Don't worry folks we'll get our mini iPad Minis.

it really depends upon what HTC, Samsung and Nokia come up with in 2014, but I would be MAJOR disappointed if the next iPhone is not at least 4.5", and I'd prefer 5". I have an HTC Onefor my house phone and love it. I prefer the iOS ecosystem but won't buy another 4" iPhone. Period.

 

[RicanMedic78]

A little bigger iphone is definitely needed. The problem is that because there is a home button that now is a fingerprint id, I fear a really long phone, which I don't like. If there was no home button or an on screen home button and a 4.7in screen size like the Moto X with tiny bezels, I wouldn't complain at all.

Personally, am content with the present 4" screen size of the iPhone. And also talking to maintsteam iphone users like my wife, mom, sibs and friends ie. non tech junkies, they also are content. I don't want a phablet or anything like androis screen sizes.

 

[JeevesVic]

Keep it the same or slightly bigger. Say maybe 5inch. It's a phone. That's what tablets are for.

I agree that the size is not a big issue for me. If I want a bitter experience I'll just use my iPad. I wouldn't mind a bigger screen thought, as long as they could keep the one handed usability, because that's the main reason I like the screen size.

 

[varoshah]

No bigger screen

No more iPhone purchases

Period

I bought the iPhone, ipad mini and Apple TV ...saving up for a Mac

But if they don't out a bigger screen on the iPhone 6, I'm leaving apple (well, the iPhone section only)

 

[cesarerocchi]

iPhone5 is already too big for my hands. I like to use the phone with just one hand, and I am not looking for bigger screens.

On any device a mophie is huge but with a S4 it's far more noticeable than on a 5S.
