So according to you, the rumored iPhone Plus with a 4.9-inch 264 ppi screen becomes the budget iPhone and the smaller-screen iPhone 5 or 5S becomes the premium phone. Call me stupid but to me that makes no sense.
That's why Apple will quadruple the PPI, giving it 528 ppi. source
Yes I dont know how I cope walking about with this Plasma TV in my pocket. Look how dinky the iPhone 5 looks next to it.

You don't use a tablet with 1 hand.This reminds me of how Cook was bragging how much content the iPad showed compared to 16:9 counterparts. Hypocracy maybe?
I'd buy straight away. Although I've got the iPhone 5, it's still too small for me personally.
I've heard several people saying that they're moving to the Galaxy when their contracts end quite simply because of the bigger screen.
I don't see why Apple wouldn't do this....they can manage different computer screen sizes...
Last time I checked Note, S3, 920 or Droid DNA not designed by Apple.
I would not consider "progress" when content is smaller. You can't argue that soft keyboard buttons will be bigger: easier to type. And text will be bigger: icon labels, web sites, ebooks, movies.
I don't necessarily want more content to be displayed. I want things easier to read. On my iMac I have highest resolution available 2560 x 1440. But instead I prefer 1920 x 1080.
Bigger screens always easier to read - no brainer.
What's the point of a bigger display that doesn't display more information, since it has the same number of
pixels? Everything would just be bigger, you couldn't fit more onto the screen.
In that case, is this bigger iPhone for older people who have trouble seeing small characters?
The thing is, I bet all of you use your phone more for social networks, emails and apps, rather than actually talking on it, it's now morphed into a computer with a phone option, I actually love the size of screen on the s111, my eye sight is getting worse and I have to hold the screen away from me, and I hate wearing glasses ! So if Apple made an iPhone with a screen the same or slightly smaller than an s111 I would sell my 4s tomorrow .
That'll be me then ! It's called choice, covering all people's disabilities, like my bad eyesight. You'll be old one day sonny !
I'll take a iPhone the size of the Note 2.
Why? Because in my eyes, I'd rather carry a Note 2 than my iPhone and iPad. I rarely talk on my phone, and if I do I'm either texting or making a quick call. Plus, I'm 6'3, so my hands are big, so the Note 2 feels fine.

Nope, it simply doesn't makes sense. Only if you would like to rebuild an iPad into an iPhone. For me a phone is a phone, it shouldn't be 'big'. I'm quite happy about the size of the iPhone5 as it is now. If I would like to play table tennis I'll use a real table tennis blade for it, not some app turning my over sized phone into a table tennis blade.
It's time for Apple to keep on building products where 'they' believe in that will be big in the future, not what the masses want today. This is what made Apple Big, by following the masses will make Apple just an regular player over time.
Talking about it, I don't recall Apple has come up with a 'revolutionary' device since Steve Jobs died few years ago. Makes me wonder.
That is the one reason I think I could like a larger phone, I would not mind a tablet yet I really do not need a tablet and phone so if the phone was a bit larger it would do a good job, I was seriously looking at the note line because of that.
its just you lot are so impatient, you get bored and want the next best thing, never content!
