now everyone is going to cry that they don't want a screen this large even though no one is putting a gun to their head to buy one.
options are good!!
bring on the bigger screen.
Is that why I'm single? Huh...6 inch is too BIG
Maybe 4.8 around there is perfect!
(thats what she said)
You guys are missing the whole concept of what Apple is doing.
Again, they are skating to where the puck is. People are making fewer and fewer voice calls. I for one would take unlimited LTE data (no caps) for a pay-per-minute phone plan. I have thousands of rollover minutes through AT&T that I will never ever use, yet I accumulate them monthly.
The 6" iPhone is a response to the fact that many of us no longer talk on our phones, but communicate through text, web, social media, video chat, etc.
You look idiotic holding a 6" "phone" to your ear. It's unwieldy for constant phone use and doesn't make sense for anything but data-based applications.
Enter the iWatch. Pair your iWatch to your 6" iPhone. No need to pull your 6" phone our of your pocket and look like a moron. Your data input, web surfing, etc is done on the face of the phone. Menial tasks like voice calls are done with the iWatch when paired with your iPhone.
Skating to where the puck is people...
I dont mind a bigger screen, just as long as they find a nice balance between a bigger screen and better battery. If they can do that then Im in.
The one thing about the Galaxy phone is that the battery life is HORRIBLE. Hopefully Apple doesnt make that mistake.
Nobody force you to buy one, nobody saying that it should be the only size. Be happy with tiny screen, but let others to have different opinions please.Great. Just what we need. A phone you can't type effectively on with one hand.
When you're out and about, often carrying stuff in one hand (food, drink, etc), it's really nice to be able to type out URLs, texts, etc, with a single thumb. Mousepad sized phones are all but unusable in situations like that.
Boo.
I am so ready for a larger screened iPhone. I don't want 6 inches but a 4.5-5 inch screen with edge to edge glass would set the mobile phone on fire. Time to launch this.
You will look just as dumb talking to a watch as you would talking to 6 inch phone maybe worse.
Sadly, this sounds more or less like what Samsung just released (Note 3 paired with Galaxy Gear watch). Not sure how well this will go over.
Thank you for being one of the two intelligent comments I've seen in this thread thus far.
I doubt anyone is missing anything. We are all enthusiasts here.
Skating to the puck? Leave that to the Montreal Canadiens, they do it with elan.
Apple?
They've got their hands full just catching up after an extended period of profit taking and resting on their laurels.![]()
Unfortunately, Apple is too late for some, and they are no doubt losing some customers by not having a larger phone at least as an option. As others have alluded to, I rarely hold a phone up to my ear any more. I want a larger screen on my phone, and quite honestly the Galaxy Note 3 is VERY enticing to me. I am going to wait until iOS7 comes out to test drive it on my iPhone 5, and I will do the same with the Galaxy note 3. If iOS 7 by itself doesn't keep me in the ecosystem then I have a feeling I will be switching to a Note 3. I very much want to stick with the iPhone because it is a fantastic device, but there is so much more it could be with a larger screen. If they would at least announce the intentions of producing such a phone in the next 6 months as a "one last thing", I very likely would stick with my iPhone until then. If not, I'm not going to look back.
Wait. What if this is going to be the distinction between the 5c and the 5s? For all we know, the next iPhone could very well be the iPhone 6. After all, this is a Jobs-less Apple. (Remember new iPads haven't been released yet too. Also "un-Apple" like.)
Well, I have no problem putting my iPad Mini in my pocket. This is a good size.. bring it on.. I will want one.
