I think it's the perfect size and I don't like the 4 or 4.7, I think they are too big. Will Apple make an iPhone with this size ever again?
Got a tip for us?

Will 3.5 inch screen returns?

Almost certainly not. Only scenario I see it happening in is if Apple decides to market cheap versions for 3rd world countries
As much as I would love to see one I don't think Apple will do it.
What my ideal size choices would be is for apple to offer 3 models 3.5", 4.5", and 5.5" that would hit pretty much every size that people want. And hopefully they would all have about the same specs just different size screens.

I doubt it. There simply isn't enough demand in the market at this point for a new 3.5" phone. Apple's product lineup has always been relatively lean compared to its competitors. They even dropped the 17" MacBook Pro.
Small screens may return at some point in the future when the paradigm of mobile phones changes, but for now larger phones are the norm.

Agreed. The iPhone 6 is slightly too big. Slightly. Ideally they'd do 3.5, 4.5, 5.5.
iPhone 7 Mini/7/7 Plus
I doubt it. Those things are TINY after a little experience with an iPhone 6. I wouldn't be surprised for the iphone 7 to see a model that is 4 inches but with more updated specs. Apple can appease the people who like smaller screens with the 5s for a couple of years. If you're still going to keep that original iPad Mini around for people who want to save $50 (I mean really!) then a 4 inch iPhone 7 mini wouldn't shock me.
I didn't realize many people can text FAST on a 3.5 inch screen with their two pinkies or love their hands more than their eyesight. Companies might as well bring back QWERTY phones and flip phones. Their smaller screens have so much advantages... *sarcasm*
In 20 years, there will be no reason for a screen. We cant even forsee technology advancements 5 years down the road. 5 years ago, who would haver ever predicted smartphones. 20 years from now, we will laugh at our primitive technology, and I will be close to the end of my existence.
I'm pretty sure once the 5S gets old enough that they want to replace it in the lineup they will release an iPhone mini. What I'm most worried about is that they will copy most android manufacturers and make it so the mini version is crippled and a few years back in technology from the giant phones.
Huh? Everything on the 4S is just as big as on the 6, you just see less on the screen.

I don't see that happening. At least in the next few generations. 4 inch I think is here to stay for a while
