iPhone screen size - Is it time for a bigger display?

[brooklyndon2911]

Anyone else wish the iPhone had a bigger screen size? I personally think the bbz10 has the perfect size screen. And I can only hope apple makes an iPhone with that screen size.

i am sure there will be a larger screen coming next year i wouldn't mind a 4.5in screen but nothing larger IMO....

I agree 4.5 inches is the sweet spot for me.

Man, I've never even thought about screen size before. I'm surprised nobody has ever posted about it on here!

NO. I am happy with this size. I don't want a larger phone.

I am happy with the screen and personally hope that all the rumors about a 4.5" are untrue.

But... bigger is better! 'Murica! I need a 6.5" 16-core smartphone so I can watch my Youtube videos while I eat my triple quarter pound hamburger and drink my 44oz soda pop in the front seat of my 7 passenger 8000lbs SUV that gets 9mpg which I constantly drive completely alone!

But I digress. I wouldn't complain if the iPhone had 4.2" to 4.7" screen... but I am completely satisfied with the current screen size. When I need more screen real estate than the iPhone can muster to consume media, that is what the iPad is for.

Whatever Apple does with the screen I'm in. Stay the same,bigger, whatever I'm in.

I'm a 4.3 inch screen guy. Not too big and not too small.

I always thought that was the sweet spot also.

I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, Sprint version, that had a 4.5in screen. I really thought I would miss the screen size but so far I'm perfectly content.

The horse is dead, has been beaten to a bloody pulp and the vultures have picked the carcass clean.

Apple will release an iPhone with a bigger when and only when they feel it's necessary.

The next iPhone is definitely going to be bigger then 4 inches. It's a given.

The question is, how will they handle the screen resolution? If they keep the current resolution, then DPI will drop too low. Even if they made a phablet size, i don't think that would justify doubling the pixel count on both axes, but it would make life easier for developers. Something in between would require some rework for apps, unless Apple can come up with some good auto scaling tools. I'm not sure if that is practical.

The next iPhone is definitely going to be bigger then 4 inches. It's a given.

I love the iPhone but I have some pretty big hands, just wish they had one with a screen no bigger than 5". And I refuse to use androids or windows phones.

 

[maryjane2300]

4.3"-4.5" is the perfect size IMO

If the iPhone 6 has bigger screen, I don't care how it happens I will throw a mannequin made of pig meat and filled with fake blood over the side of the Apple HQ. And I will then grip Tim Cooks hand tightly, and walk him out into the street where I will make us get hit by a car, and then I will make us fall back onto another car, and we will just go back and forth all day.

I will do this if it does have a bigger one
