Never let a subjective, gut-feel survey of the MacRumors crowd be extrapolated to be representative of the masses. The masses have wanted bigger-screen phones so badly they chose to forgo iOS to get them for years now. Once Apple finally gave them an option to get the bigger screen they want PLUS iOS, a long-unfufillled want could be met.
This crowd here is whining about "man purses" and "new pants with bigger pockets" but the masses are just getting the bigger-screen iPhone they wanted. Ask them about "one-handed use" and they'll look at you like you're an alien (or maybe show you that they have TWO hands). Some of those masses accustomed to even 6+ inch screens are looking at iPhones as "small" and "too small". And just watch: apparently, there will soon be tens of millions of people carrying man purses and wearing baggy pants with oversized pockets OR they'll somehow just make it work without
