Other Are You Actually Looking Forward to a 6.9" iPhone?

[Pepperfection]

Either it is the 16 PM/Ultra or maybe moved for the iPhone 17, there are heavy rumors about it.

Are you excited for this or not? Because I see many saying it is too big now, and we don't need it. But at the same time, some wants a new form factor or even say that it finally caught up to the Ultra.

What are your thoughts? And would you get one or just get a smaller model?

Honestly I find the 6.7 iPhones to be quite big already. If the phone is taller, it might be even harder to reach certain areas (and especially the dynamic island). And I'm not excited by this form factor either, I don't think the extra space will make much of a difference. I don't know if I would go to a smaller form factor that said, so I'll see how it feels once it's released

When I got my Note 3 everyone said it was too big and they would never buy a phone that big. History said otherwise.



Bring on the 6.9!

 

[BigDO]

No, and I’m gonna be very bleak if the smallest Pro becomes 6.3” .

 

[Shirasaki]

No matter how they increase the size of the phone, Apple CANNOT turn it into an iPad without involving folding, period. Yes, people want larger phone, but past certain threshold, they might as well be better served with an iPad instead of a 9” iPhone.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Yup. I want larger. The larger the screen, the better. As long as it fits in my pocket, I'm good.

I don't like letting need stand in the way of getting what I want. And often, what I want is more than what I need. So in getting what I want I also get what I need.

Screw need.

And yes, I'd buy the bigger phone. Apple has yet to make a size large enough for me.

That's the problem with 'everyone'. They can never get with the program and like what I like! Who needs them?

 

[boswald]

Yes, but only if Apple decides to use better colors!

 

[eyoungren]

Black, black and black. 100 percent, not the shade of black Apple calls Space Gray.

 

[Fat_Guy]

Yes, but only if Apple decides to use better colors!

Two words: Split screen!

 

[Asiatic Black Hebrew]

I think any bigger than the current Pro Max would almost be approaching iPad Mini territory.

 

[aries81]

Nope. 6.1 is quite alright.

 

[CMoore515]

Depends on weight distribution for me.

 

[eicca]

The 6.1 is barely tolerable for me.

Bring back the 5.4 Mini.

And for crap’s sake shrink the bloody camera apparatus.

I am looking forward to Apple’s foldable. This would be awesome, as even a 7” screen would give us a nice plump 3.5” boxy object when folded.

They could also bring back the 5.8” screens. They might actually do it once they have mastered the new rumoured stacked battery tech, but for now 6.1” will be fine.

So long as it fits my hand and does not exceed $1799 then I'd be interested.

 

[nathansz]

Anything bigger than 12 mini is too big to me

 

[GuyDouche]

I for one would welcome a size increase, however only is the phone would be a bit thinner and lighter, sporting a better battery, thinner bezel and the ability to use the springboard in landscape mode, like the iPhone 6s+.
One could only dream…

 

[Adelphos33]

To me, the more exciting developments are taking the regular pro to a slightly larger size, and improvements to the regular lines, which will retain their current sizes. Moving to 6.9” on the biggest phones will just make it easier to finally go for one of the lower priced models, so I am indeed looking forward to that

As someone who uses a phone as their primary device these days (and who is trying, currently in vain, to reduce time spent on it), I reckon part of me could justify a larger screen. Folding is a bit of a non-starter for me, though, since you end up with a thicker device, and I’d rather have a thinline device (makes better use of my pockets). Honestly, a folding tablet makes more sense to me than a folding phone.

 

[lenningj]

Bad enough with 6.1" of phone in my jeans/pants bulging in my pocket to the horror of the public eye. 6.9" might be unwieldy, especially with a case on, that will bump it to 7"+. Interested to see the market data for owners, hand size, if really people are able to comfortably use phones beyond 6.7" with a single hand. or the current userbase of 6.7" iPhone users experiences

 

[louis^]

Yes, ofc.

 

[seaguy]

Yup. I want larger. The larger the screen, the better. As long as it fits in my pocket, I'm good.
