"Ridiculous" is ignoring the Galaxy S4, that sold 10 million units [Sold, not units shipped to retailers], in less than 1 month.
Hmmm... what size screen does an S4 have....?
There is a market for a larger phone, 10 million people let us know that last month alone. In the same way these very same markets, let Apple know there was a market for a 7" iPad...
Have a nice day.
You mean this S4 that tanked Samsung stock last week due to slowing sales? Not sure if that is the model Apple needs to be following at this time giving its own stock plunge.
I'm sure IF Apple thinks there is a viable market for a larger iPhone it will put one out there. I'd bet it already has prototypes in its sunk works. But the market has yet to prove 1) larger phones have general, not niche, selling power, and 2) they have longevity and not a fad.
I can much more likely see Apple making either a larger iPod Touch or a smaller iPad mini for the 6" crowd that uses their large screen phone as a small tablet rather than a phone.
