Yes! I am perfectly fine with the current size. The whole "gotta have a huge friction' screen" is Android nonsense to try to make up for the fact that the Android OS is fragmented piece of poo.
The side of my 4S is PERFECT!

The iPhone line isn't fragmented at all? Interesting take, didn't realize iOS 5 did all the same things on the iP4 as it does on the 4S...let alone stepping down to the 3gs...
I'll say 3.5" is still the best for a phone. And its screen size is one of the reason I chose the iPhone over those humongous Samsung Galaxy Note. I can easily slip it into my pocket, take it out to make calls and stuff- after all, it's just a phone.
Apple introduced the iPad for those who want a larger display screen. If anyone wants iOS on a larger screen, then they should just get an iPad instead, not an iPhone.
3.5" is Apple's iPhone standard size.
Actually, 'after all', it's NOT just a phone. If you were truly interested in 'just a phone' and something that easily slides in and out of your pocket, you'd get a clamshell feature phone or something. As someone mentioned, there's lots of middle ground between the iPhone and the Note. And comparing either to the iPad is just plain idiotic---and a common thing to do around here.

As for those wanting the screen to go "edge to edge", it's not happening. Go look at phones. The side bezels are all about the same. There needs to be a barrier from the touch screen to the edge to guard against accidental screens presses when holding the device.
The top and bottom of the iPhone on the other hand...huge waste of space. Just eyeballing it, I'd say about 30% of the face of the phone is top/bottom bezel. And unless they do away with the home button, that's not changing either. Not to mention just increasing screen size vertically would change the aspect ratio (which I think should be done anyway). So if they increase the screen size, device size is going up.
3.7" is a waste of time and I don't know where people get this number from. Apple is great at incremental upgrades, but this one would be an all-timer of a let down. 4-4.3" would be perfect for me. Though they would have to do something with the top/bottom bezel to keep the phone a reasonable size at 4.3.
