I really wish that Apple comes up with iPhone 5X

If a 4 inch screen is hurting your eyes you need them testing because that isn't normal. If you want a bigger screen then move to android, apple wont be going any bigger any time soon i bet, they seem to like one hand usability and battery life.
4.3" is the best size for a smartphone. Having so many different phones the past several years, all with different screen sizes, 4.3" is the sweet spot.
The new Android's @ 4.8" are too big for one handed operation, and I had the Nexus-S two years ago @ 4" and that was too small, could easily handle more in one hand.
I had the EVO 4G and Galaxy S2 @ 4.3", and man, that was spot on perfect, easily one hand operation 100% of the time.
I bet the iPhone6 in 2014 will be 4.3", which will look small compared to all Android phones that year being 5".

I find myself using the iphone5 so close from eyes all the time
Fortunately, there are many alternative options are available to consumers, whom desire a larger device, such as yourself. Unfortunately, Apple's ears may be deaf to a larger screen for some time to come.
I am quite content with the current iP5. Perhaps, I may change my attitude towards a larger screen, at some point in time.
Lol people act like the iPhone is the only phone in the world. Just get an android if you want a bigger screen.
Actually rumor has it that the next iPhone will be the iPhone Mini. A 2 inch screen you can hang around your neck or wear on your wrist. Coming soon at an Apple store near you..... 
I love the screen size! I look at the Galaxy and I think that is too big. I think the 5 is perfect, bigger than the 4 but not too big that it makes the phone bulky. There is no way to have a big screen without making a bigger phone.
they want it to be able reach with your thumb to the top of the phone.. most can do that with a 4" screen. did you not watch the keynote? or any iphone keynote at that?
People said the same about the 3.5 screen and look now the iphone 5 was born... The galaxy note 2 is out with a 5.5 screen lets see what apple do now... of course get a bigger screen in the next iphone.
I agree. I believe they'll shrink the wasted space for future iterations of the iPhone, starting with the 6 in 2014 (as they'll most likely retain the same design for the 5S next year as they always do with S-type updates).
Exactly my point, rocking my galaxy note 2 like a boss... I am always go with the "top of the food chain" gadget.

I like this. A Dick Tracy like wrist watch phone would rock.
FALSE.
Truth-be-told... I like the iPhone 5 screen size but was perfectly content with the size of the 4s. Any bigger than what it is now and that's just too big. I don't need a TV in my pocket, I've got one of those hanging on the wall.
I also agree that a 4.3 inch screen would have been perfect.
But I also agree that if Apple makes a 5 inch screen, I'd buy it...

Unless Apple manages to completely eliminate the bezel on the iPhone, anything bigger than 4" is just stupid. If they make the display any taller it'll be too hard to reach. If they make the device actually wider, it'll be too hard to reach. I don't have small hands either, I'm 6'2".
