Well I got alot of negatives and many disagreeing with me in this thread so I will ask a few questions
*How did you cope with a tiny, non colour screen phone ten years ago? How did you later cope with the physical phone becoming smaller, smaller buttons (K850i anybody?)
*If it's all about screen size how come Blackberry sells well with a 2"6 inch screen? Design? Software like BBM maybe? So people also like IOS?
*Nobody think companies like LG and Samsung just think "bigger" is better every year to sell more devices? Remember the camera phone war they tried to tell us 12 MP cameras were best now the rise of smart phones seen phones drop to 3.2 and 5MP camera only now the Iphone is putting a decent cameras in. Truth is the 5MP camera on the Iphone 4 is great better than many of these past phones. I suspect it's not a case of Samsung or LG think 4" is a better screen size they just like to increase it every year the Galaxy had a 4" screen the S2 went 4"3. Next year 4"5 maybe? I can see it coming to a stage in the future where they can do all they can with screens and move on to something else. Many phones even high end now get released with a screen as little as 3" as people still like the idea of a "MOBILE" small enough to put in there pocket.
*Anybody agree that the Galaxy S2 is just too big?
*So the polls say people want a bigger phone? Probably as they see Android as better but if they actually move over they moan the phone is crap built quality, too big for a pocket, poor app store, crashes, freezes, a new model released 3 months later.
And could they have made the current Iphone bigger? Not without making it more ugly. Perhaps with a slim down redesign Iphone 5 they can do a 4" screen but if the Iphone 4S cotuines to sell well they may keep the current design and just add a metal back to the next model.
I use to own a LG Viewty and remember it being very Iphone before the Iphoine became cool all the best Samsung phones went out of production as they went Android to compete with the Apple app store. Phones like Pixon, Pixon 12, Tocco Lite, Viewty Snap they all had a very unique design but now the new models all copy Apple.
Everybody I know with Android and Blackberry want an Iphone. I've also heard people move from Iphone to Blackberry for a change so it can be a fashion thing too.
I expect there will be a debate on the Ipad 3 should it get a bigger screen because of the new Galaxy tabs. But all those moaning should decide if screen size is *your first* priority change to Samsung but if it's not you are probably wise enough to know the current Iphone is good. Just because they said in 2006 the Iphone screen is the size it is doesn't mean it needs upgrading because it already has with Retina displays.
And people need to consider the tablet market if they want a good mobile screen. I think a "small phone" and decent size tablet is the perfect mix.

Oh whatever, just STOP, because when apple upgrades the screen size to 3.7 to 4.0 inches in the future. you will be barking about how perfect those sizes are just perfect.
If Apple make a phone I don't like I'd change to another. Sony Ericsson made great phones for years between 2005 and 2009 I bought there phones and the Satio and C905 were failures. There new phones lack ideas and innovation. I loved the Iphone 4 as it was quite unique maybe something I'd have expected from Sony Ericsson.
The fact they kept the current design is a bonus for me so yes I'm upgrading the Iphone 4 to an S.
