Analyst: iPhone 5S Will Have Larger Camera, New Fingerprint Technology, Same Screen Size

you're becoming the minority

No one needs an iPad and smaller iPad that can barely fit on your pocket.

I don't believe this for a second.

The vocal minority scream for a larger screen. The silent majority are jus fine with the current size.

No one needs an iPad and smaller iPad that can barely fit on your pocket.

Did you even bother to read that article?

Apple (AAPL) and LG (066570), meanwhile, also experienced increased market shares in 2013. Apple’s share increased from 17% in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 21%

If reasonable sized iPhone screens were moving into the minority... would their market share increase?

Or maybe you consider 55% of Smartphone activations at Verizon for 1Q13 an indication of their ever minority? Leaving all the other droid manufacturers to wrestle with each other for the 45% in remains.

They will not change the screen size. It's plenty big enough now. Let Samsung have the phone that you have to hold in two hands....

Then they let Samsung have the phone market..the S3 is fine on one hand, try it!! go to a store and compare your iPhone with an S3, I was very impressed , my iPhone I am sorry to say looked old next to it..purely because the screen looks more fancy and is bigger.. look at the number of people that walk about holding their phones like an accessory, walk around any shopping centre in the UK and they will all be S3's, people love the look and it's cheaper..

They should skip the 5s and just go straight to 6.
