I don't care greatly about the screen resolution, but I will be happy to get a phone with a bigger keyboard - I am really tired of how many mistakes I make typing with my thumbs, especially in portrait but usually in landscape too.
I'm looking forward to the 4.7" iPhone - small enough to comfortably fit in my pocket.

That's a nice comparison photo, Zipa. I am wondering if you or anyone else knows...what's the screen height dimension on a 5.5" phone (and a 4.7") compared to the screen width dimension on the iPad mini? I find myself turning my iPhone 5 on its side (landscape) to read anything so I'm not scrolling side to side, but the print on my PDFs is still a little difficult to read. I can keep my mini in portrait and read it just fine without scrolling. Would be nice to have a bigger screen on my phone so it would be easier to read without scrolling/looking at tiny print.
Lord I hope not. I don't want a 5C in a 4.7" package and I don't want any part of a 5.5" phone
I can't wait to see previous arguments against large phone screens flip, at which point all the fanbois will be praising Apple for the larger screen "innovation" and claiming that small screen smartphones are stupid, and then go on to claim that Samsung was just copying Apple.
.
Only you imagine this. I haven't seen or heard anyone saying that. 1st troll.
iPhone never had expandable memory and replaceable battery. I recommend you to stay with Plastic Junk Samsung.
BTW, have something better to do with the phone instead of putting 64GB+ music (>16,000 songs) into it. I just don't get people who put that many songs in a phone which doesn't have enough battery to play even 10% of library. What's good with the high-bit rate while you still use a headset to listen? It sounds like sh.t anyway. It's like put 100-Octane fuel into a Geo Metro and believe it performs better.
Also, Apple decide what the best for people and release products based on that. So far it proved they're right about that based on the success of iPhone. Samsung, on the other hand just release products based on users' "wish" list in forums and rumors and so far, not so successful in sale as they wanted. BTW, "shipped" doesn't mean "sold". For the record, in the last quarter alone, iPhone 5c that everyone bashed still outsold the leading Samsung handset, Galaxy S4 by 4:3.

Have we had a poll on MR about what the readers want in size? 4" 4.7" 5.3" 5.5"?
I personally find it hard to see a 5.5" iPhone coming out, there have been few "solid" rumors on it. (yes I said solid rumors lol)
I personally would like to get a 5.5" iPhone if available in or around the same time frame as the 4.7" release. (of course assuming both are released)

What about this:
3G - 3.5
3GS - 3.5
4 - 3.5
4S - 3.5
5 - 4
5S - 4
6 - 4
6s wont have any screen because Apple's doomed. LOL
For flagships, probably around 5 inches for "smaller" big phones and 6 inches for big phones. There's already some truly massive phones over 6 inches and those are just ridiculous. 5.5 is my limit. 4.7-5 is perfect for me though.
Clearly the whining about repetitive posts because the others wouldn't exist otherwise.
But you didn't answer my question why people bother to do the former. I did ask a question, but you only provided additional snark.
You're probably right! But I digress, what are the MacRumors forums if not snarky??
Basically the same. The 5.5" horizontally might be just a tad wider than the 7.9 held upright.

My phone has a connector where I can plug in a charger. I think that it is a lot easier to transport my music collection with me to my car, boat, summer cabin, friends house, random party or wherever I may roam when it is in my phone, as opposed to lugging six CD towers with me.
I don't use a headset, like, ever. I plug/stream into whatever hifi-system is available on location.
That's all fine and dandy if you have no clue about what you need, or are heavily invested in AAPL stock.
I, on the other hand, am very capable of deciding for my self what I would like to have in my device, and it is sad that Apple is failing to deliver on multiple accounts. So far I've managed to live with the shortcomings, but I don't think that I'm going to put up with it any longer, since the competition seems to be trouncing Apple on all fronts.
BTW, "shipped" does mean "sold" as far as Samsung is concerned.

Here's the difference of an iPhone5 to the 5.5" model based on those sizings.
Please MacRumors, don't post this image up as a news article.
LOL... your with VodaFail and your reception sucks.

I was expecting something larger... Bezel is way too big on 5/5s, that is also where they should gain some real estate

Music maters but you could have data you wanna store and keep with you as well. I have MS exchange accounts accounting for several tens of GB that I would love to have with me...
Yes, I live in a remote community in Australia, and I am currently indoors.LOL... your with VodaFail and your reception sucks.
What of it?
3 bars (dots now??) is pretty good for being inside anyways.

Then you haven't been paying attention. LOTS of people on here were stating that larger screen phones are ridiculous/stupid/unnecessary.
That's why I didn't go iPhone 5, but went with the Galaxy S4 instead.
You don't know how to use a screwdriver and non-marring spudger?
I recommend you to stay with Plastic Junk Samsung.

I had an iPhone 3Gs prior to the iPhone 4. Want to talk about a plastic piece of excrement?
In response to the drivel below, I will comment inline:
BTW, have something better to do with the phone instead of putting 64GB+ music (>16,000 songs) HINT: it's not necessarily >16000 songs, depending on how it's encoded into it. I just don't get people who put that many songs in a phone which doesn't have enough battery to play even 10% of library. hint: Most people don't listen to their entire library in one sittingWhat's good with the high-bit rate while you still use a headset to listen?I hook it up to my cars' entertainment systems, you insensitive clod! Besides, it serves as an additional backup of my collection. It sounds like sh.t You obviously have sh.t earbuds then. Invest in some Sennheiser headphones, or a receiver or amp connected to Klispsch reference-series speakersanyway. It's like put 100-Octane fuel into a Geo Metro and believe it performs better. A Metro won't but a car with a smarter ECU will perform better on higher octane because it can then lean out the mixture and advance the timing - and it's not that they perform better on high octane gas, but detune themselves on low-octane gas to avoid ping which can damage the valves and pistons.
Also, Apple decide what the best for people and release products based on that. So far it proved they're right about that based on the success of iPhone. Samsung, on the other hand just release products based on users' "wish" list in forums and rumors and so far, not so successful in sale as they wanted. really? They seem to be doing amazingly well, and Apple obviously feels threatened by Samsung. . . BTW, "shipped" doesn't mean "sold". For the record, in the last quarter alone, iPhone 5c that everyone bashed still outsold the leading Samsung handset, Galaxy S4 by 4:3.So what you're saying is that Apple accounted internal transfers of stock as shipments, playing hollywood accounting games. Gotcha.
Still , it's a shame that Apple's 4,7'' is about 10 mm taller than Moto X
Yes! And a bit over 2mm wider too. Sure it's thin but they certainly lose out on the svelte shapes iPhones are known for (compare to the competition). That amount of bezel also just looks ugly IMO. This is what I was afraid of when apple released touch id, securing the existence of the same home button for at least a few more generations.
124.88mm x 64.8mm x 12.3mm (moto x)
138 x 67 x 7 (iPhone 4.7")
As for the 5.5" it is a behemoth when you compare it to the lg g3 (releasing very soon) which also has a 5.5" screen.
146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm (lg g3)
157 x 81 x 7 mm (iPhone 5.5")
124.88mm x 64.8mm x 12.3mm (moto x) 99.5343552 milliliters
138 x 67 x 7 (iPhone 4.7") 64722 64.72200 milliliters
146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 mm (lg g3) 97.134422 milliliters
157 x 81 x 7 mm (iPhone 5.5") 89.01900 milliliters
volume wise the new iPhones are impressive compared to competition, which also means weight will be significantly less.

That's true but I'd personally opt for a bit extra thickness then width or height. Makes for easier handling in my experience. It may also be easier for those preferring a smaller device to adapt. The moto x is a perfect example. The taper/shape makes it one of the best handling phones IMO. Although ergonomics was always weak since the iPhone 4. I love thinness, but I also prefer as much screen and as little bezel as possible.
