iPhone 4/4s screen feels small after using iphone5

[imaginex20]

After two days of owning the iPhone 5 and going back to use a iPhone 4S feels awkward! The screen feels so small and cramped on the older iPhones. At first the iPhone 5, I couldn't justify the increase in vertical real estate but now makes sense and feels natural.

0,5" is not a big difference. Go use galay S3 for a while. You'll be feeling the same about iPhone 5 then

I agree but for me it's more about the improvements it gives for landscape internet browsing. I no longer have to zoom in to read text like I needed to on the 4s. Simply wonderful

Depends on the website really... On some you'll still need to zoom.

I have played with the Samsung S3 a feel times. I did not like the big screen at all. When browsing the net the web pages would display full resolution and would make text very small, but I couldn't zoom in WTF?

I just did it on nytimes and no, I didn't need to zoom at all like I'd need to with my 4s.

So you're saying you dont like a bigger screen unless its an apple product?

Ok...

I am saying I don't like a damn near 5" screen. A big screen like that displaying text like it is .2 font but I can't zoom in on the web pages to enlarge it? Someone failed at UX.

I don't like the larger screens on the Droid or S3 due to the immense width. I knew I wanted a larger screen but didn't want to try fitting a tablet into my pocket.

Honestly, I don't know why someone hadn't thought of going to a widescreen (16:9) phone before the iPhone 5.

Oh, now 3.5 is too small! Before it was perfect.

Heh, I jest.

Heh, I jest.

I'd call it "I bought an iPhone 5 and it's the best in the world just because I got it" syndrome

 

[Peanut207]

Not to mention, the 4/4s also feels like a brick when I pick it up now after holding the iPhone 5

 

[imaginex20]

Don't get me wrong, I have not bashed Android nor any other operating system in my posts. I do have an open mind and would not mind jumping to windows phone 8 when they polish it up a bit more. The user experience isn't there yet. I like my mobile devices to handle my simple tasks. Leave the complicated stuff for the PC.

 

[onthecouchagain]

Oh, now lighter is better? Before heavier gave it a premium feel.

Heh, I could go on and on.

But I jest, OP. I'm clearly not talking about you. Just pointing out some of the absurdities of others. 3.5 is indeed small.

Na

I hate how every thread in this forum are ruined by pissing contests. Ridiculous

Actually he didn't say that at all. You did.

What did you expect when you started a thread like this... Basically telling all those 4s owners that you've got a 5 and its much better.

Good for you

 

[motty2307]

Uh... because S3 and many phones on the market are already 16:9 before your super unique and innovative iPhone 5.

Oh, I didn't realize they were 16:9. Just knew they were too big to fit into my pocket and hard to use without two hands.

And geez, butt hurt about something?

 

[AAPLinc]

Obviously the 4S will feel small, the 5 is .5" bigger. Kind of a dumb topic, no offense.

Exactly. There are so many threads started by 5 owners basically saying "the 5 is so much better than the 4S" we get it guys. You have the newest phone, allow me to bow down to you.

In my opinion the 5 doesn't have the quality feel that previous generations had, but oh well.

 

[daneoni]

That's...because...it is...smaller

 

[enzoshadow]

Ok

 

[motty2307]

Oh but clearly that wasn't what you said before. Let me copy exactly what you said for you just in case you are having trouble.
"Honestly, I don't know why someone hadn't thought of going to a widescreen (16:9) phone before the iPhone 5."
And what does that have to do with butt hurt? Butt hurt about me pointing out your false information?

That is what I said, prior to knowing that other phones were already 16:9. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't know and you informed me, albeit in a ********ed way. So sorry that I'm not the most knowledgable person in the world about mobile devices like you are. I bow to your vast knowledge and admit my inferiority.

That what you want to hear?
