If Apple launched the iPhone 5s today and offered it in these screen sizes, which would you pick? This isn't which screen size Apple should build, this is if Apple actually built the iPhone in all these sizes (which I know they never would) which would you buy?
Got a tip for us?

I picked the 5" screen, originally I thought that is way to large but since I've been also using a GS4 I have fallen in love with that size. Every time I switch back to my iPhone 5 it feels tiny. Also, with the changes to iOS7 and being able to swipe to go back it eliminates the largest reason to have to access the top left portion of the screen.

I would assume, knowing Apple and their obsession with slimmer and slimmer bezels and thinner phones, that if they could fit the 4.3" in the same sized phone they would absolutely do that rather than make the phone larger.

I hadn't thought about how that would matchup with the back of the iPhone 5, interesting...
I just don't think at this stage of the game 4.3" is big enough, especially with the 'mini' versions of the flagship Android phones being that size...
A 4.3-4.5" display with at least 720p, and I would be content. However, I do like the current 4" screen, just wouldn't mind having something a tad bigger.
A 5" iPhone would be incredible, it's just disappointing that we are probably over a year away from seeing it released if they ever do release one.
I would like something larger. The only reason I even have an iPad is that the iPhone 5 is difficult for me to use with my big fingers. If the iPhone were a 4.5-5" screen, I would have no reason to have an iPad.
Impossible for me to say, honestly. I'd have to see the phone. I would also have to know what Apple plans to do to allow apps to work on all of these new resolutions and form factors. I would LIKE something larger, but if that means not using my favorite apps, a larger phone is useless if all I get is easier web page browsing.
I would want the 4.5 or 4.7. Had androids this size and it is perfect. The iPhone just needs to be a little wider that is all.
Why does everyone have such small hands? II can use the Galaxy S4 one handed
I'm with ya. Giving you a virtual high five with my meat-paw hands.
I voted 4.7" to match the HTC One.
Can't see myself ever wanting a larger display than that on a phone.
If I did feel the need for an even bigger device (which I may at some point) I'd buy a tablet in addition.

4.3 same form factor as now - touch wider less bezel
I am currently on a 4.7 inch phone and jump back and forth to iphone4.... The smaller phone does feel better and more like a phone.
The extra screen space doesn't come handy when reading since I still look at the same portion of screen.
That is a great design btw but it won't happen because the 16:9 aspect ratio will be changed !
What Aspect Ratios are there above 16:9?
They will have to go wider if they go taller.... Sadly which I don't see them doing
On the other hand it would be great to see them lessen been anyway..
