Apple, you can't increase display size! People need to smoke and hold on in trains and buses while feeding their social addiction, and oh yeah, they have tiny pockets too

I live in a metro area where I'm taking city transit on a daily basis. I need one hand to hang on so I don't go flying. One handed use is convenient for walking too.
If you didn't have a phone that required both hands to use you probably wouldn't ask the question. I have a 5s, but the overall physical size of the 4s was my favorite. I've had an iPhone since the original and like the ability to write, eat, drink, shuffle docs, etc. while using touchscreen. Have never dropped an iPhone. Every time there's a discussion of Samsung's plasticky phones, someone posts how great it is because they've "dropped it a dozen times without it breaking". That's what happens when you try to use an oversized phone with one hand. No thanks. Like minor head concussions, the damage is cumulative.
Where in the question does it say larger screen?
And how can the interest be at record levels when, according to so many here, iOS sucks?
Slightly presumptuous to tell people in the survey that it may feature a larger display even though they don't really have any solid evidence to prove this. I would love Apple to surprise everyone - 'We found that the 4inch display was actually too big, we're going back to the 4S!'
Apple can get back lost marketshare with larger iPhones, isn't that the only reason people switched to android ?
I know you're mocking those on this forum. But we know the answer to that. For one - I'm guessing most of the general public doesn't care. Not about OSes or perhaps they don't know any different.
While the OS and hardware are firmly integrated on an iPhone. Most of the general public are buying an iPhone because it's an iPhone.
I find surveys like this useless anyway. I think it's pretty safe to say people would like a bigger screen. Just like people would answer positively to better battery life, more memory, faster speed, better camera.
I haven't overhead a single person at Best Buy, ATT, etc ever say "but that won't fit in my pocket - show me something smaller" or "Man - that looks like I'm talking with an iPad on my face"
Those comments are often made here though...
... if iOS is so bad how can interest in a new iPhone be at record levels?
This is an honest question with no sarcastic undertones whatsoever, but can someone tell me exactly why one-handed use is a desired feature?
I have a Nexus 5 with a 5" screen and honestly don't ever find myself saying: Damn, I wish I could use this with one hand instead of two.
Again, honest question.

And lucky for them there was a company that wanted to make them.
Apple is not obliged to sell any thing it doesn't feel like selling.
The world wanted keyboard phones, remember?
I'd rather like a tiny iPhone mini. With just iCal, Contacts, Mail, Music Player, Messages and phone capabilities.
Since I sit in front of a computer the whole day long I don't see why I need apps.
And when I'm abroad, I can't use any app like google maps because roaming prices are ridiculous. So I still ask people on the street for directions while having a fancy iphone in my pocket doing nothing.

Duh. Except for the few exceptions who hang out in macrumors type forums, most people want a larger screen smart phone by now.
Heck I refused to upgrade from my 4s as the 5 series screens weren't big enough (recently deciding whether I should get a Nexus 5 temporarily to hold me over for the 5.5" iPhone)
