epiphany about the rumored screen size

Are you sure it's 16:9? Because to me, it looks like 16:10. But maybe thats just me

 

Okay Well that's good news for me, because I'm a little bit afraid that the new ratio would be a problem for one hand use.

 

16:9

 

Thank you for confirming that

 

a quick shop...

 

my TV and Mac are both 16:9, so why not my phone

 

Depends what Macbook you get.....the 11" air (which I use mostly) is 16:9, while the 13" is 16:10

 

really excited about it

it is really weird that they would go 16:9 only for the 11", but it works better with my eyes haha

 

Good find. Although, stating how good Apple's potential screen is by comparing it to that particular phone may not be doing it any favors. all joking aside, interesting thread.

 

For those keeping score at home, heres a comparison for the current size versus the 16:9 xperia screen. Looks pretty good, consider me sold!

 

Great Thread. I have been wondering what certain apps would look like on the new iPhone. I have seen renders but more comparison shots would be amazing if you could. Thanks!

 

I never understood what the problem is with a 16:9 screen. I figure the naysayers are either:

-android trolls who downplay just about anything that is rumored to come out of apple (except a 4.8" screen on a phone that looks like something samsung made)
-bitter, angry people who try to get a rise out of others by blabbering on about isheep, and buying whatever apple tells em to buy, rdf etc in every thread (these guys should really get a life)
-people who resist change -which is a natural thing really- and cling to the current screen size.

While I am relatively large and have much larger hands than the chubby paws I see folks here post pics of occasionally, I like the size of the current iphone very much, but I always felt the screen should be a little bigger in relation to the front panel, and that's about to become reality. So all in all, I'm delighted with apple's rumored design choices. Hopefully the rumors are true and they don't release another 3.5 incher, or something ridiculously large.

 

Looking more and more like a reality with today's news of iOS's ability to render different resolutions.

 

So what's all the one hand talk? I didn't really have an issue using the galaxy note with one hand and I have medium sized hands

What do you need your other hand for?? Stop whacking it...and come to the larger screen side

 

the only time i like to use two hands is when I am texting really fast. Other than that I like to feel like I won't drop the phone and can touch everything on the screen with 1 hand. People with small hands, like me, cannot do this with much more than a 4" screen...maybe a 4.3"....so longer is actually better than wider for that purpose

 

Then stick with the 4s...

 

I just think that is Apple's logic with screen size....only jumping to 4" is a very safe move.

 

You must have massive hands if you can use that billboard of a screen one-handed without issue.

 

Agree with you there

Nope, I was able to get the note to rest on my hand easily and my thumb reach I'd say 90% of the screen. Only parts I couldn't reach we're the upper and lower left hand corners. But you don't have to get to those corners very often

 

The reason people are complaining is because it LOOKS really long compared to the current iPhone, but I think everyone will love it when they actually get to see it in person. It will take getting use to because we've never used a bigger / longer iPhone.
