I think if steve were still Alive, we would still have a 3.5" screen

That's ********** funny man! Hahaha
What exactly do you base this on? They don't NEED to do anything. Your "NEED" for a larger display doesn't constitute as something that is a necessity to Apple.
Why do you care? Why can't apple make two iphone sizes. Literally every product they sell has two screen sizes. Why not the iPhone?
Macbook Pro 13/15
Macbook Air 11/13
iMac 21.5/27
iPad 7.85/10
Noooooooooo!! They should just leave the 4.8 screen alone. I still have my 4s and I'm very happy with it. If people want something bigger get an iPad and that solves your problem. Who in the world wants to have a big phone like that on their ear.
My need? How about addressing the needs of tens of millions who bought the Samsung Note 3 and are now looking forward to Note 4? This is a market worth going after. Shareholders should insist on it. Phablet buyers should not have to leave the Apple ecosystem and look elsewhere.
The actual percentage of regular people who want a larger iPhone screen is really small. It feels like it's larger when you browse this forum, but that's because tech nerds like us are more likely to want a larger screen and love to complain on the internet about not having it. The millions upon millions of people who are perfectly satisfied with the iPhone screen aren't posting here.
It will come with a red vinyl skin over black plastic and you'll have to be eighteen or older to purchase it.
"An additional iPhone update is said to be coming during the holiday season, with a 12-megapixel camera".
Please send me a bag of what these guys smoke over there
They're on math.

I've only seen one person in my whole life with one of those huge phones / tiny tablets. It would ruin Apple's image to make something that's a bad tablet and an even worse phone.
I have never bought an iPhone yet!
My reason was the screen is way too small. When iPhone 5 came out, i still found it way to small, I am 26 years old, there is nothing wrong with bigger, i have great eyes, and would like to keep it that way.
I think apple will sell in the 100's of millions no doubt.
This is the first good rumour i have heard yet, everyone i know will buy the bigger screen.
Good year.
Peace

They'll end up like the "other" companies who make stuff like the Droid RAZR MAXX and Galaxy SIII. Apple is about simplicity. I don't want to see the iPhone 5S come out with an iPhone XL or 5XL or whatever.

Do you have really big pockets or something? I always make sure my pants have big pockets, and I don't think any of mine would hold one of those giant phones.
I would say with the way iOS handles different resolutions its probably for the best that they don't introduce a bigger model. Also loving that people think bigger screens are a trend as apposed to the actual touch screen phone itself.
And here i thought it was because they failed to keep up with ongoing trends and thought churning out hardware with carl zeiss optics will keep them on top. Then when they finally succumbed, they quarter arsed it by tacking a touch interface on a OS that wasn't built for it putting aside that their Symbian OS had grown stale, buggy and very few developers outside gaming had any interest in the platform.
If its market saturation then why are they still dominating when it comes to dumbphones?

But there is a way out for them, might require some significant legwork on their part though.
They must some how make the screen edge to edge on all sides.
So mic along the bottom corner/edge. Speaker along the top corner/edge. No physical, or a relocated home button.
But the front facing cam will be a challenge admittedly.
They can go to 120mm by about 70mm. TIM ARE YOU LISTENING?
It's the user base (Android). I know a few people who have Android phones very well, and it's impossible to explain why in English, but they're all the kind of person who would buy a huge phone and would NOT use iOS. This is not an insult to them (if someone here interprets it as such).
Interestingly, if you know someone well, and you tell him to choose a random shape out of three options, you can guess much more than 1/3 the time what he is thinking of.
