The current screen size is perfect for the iPhone 5 & future 5S.
Time for the 4.7 inch screen cheer leader squad to head to the Android land and stop beating that drum. So long, been good to know you
Your welcome to the squad after Apple introduces a larger screen iPhone.
Your probably the same type of people who said crap about the iPhone 5 when it first came out.
"4-inches? Steve would never have done that, I want it to be smaller, durrr"
I'm sure Apple has people internally also pushing for a larger phone. Just like Cue pushed for a smaller iPad. One size doesn't fit all.
I don't get that perception that the iPhone is now failing. I hear that increasingly often.
It seems to only be based on worldwide marketshare, and due to the fact that emerging countries (which are extremely populated) are now buying cheapo prepaid <$200 unsubsidized Android phones instead of feature phones since feature phones are just disappearing.
The iPhone is failing because of a market segment it never competed with in the first place? That doesn't make sense. The iPhone is stronger than ever compared to other high-end phones. Even when the iPhone 5 is pretty much at the end of its cycle, iOS is the only platform gaining market share in the US, while Android has pretty much peaked.
I've used both and Android is just a segmented mess. WebOS is a better interface then Android.
Funny how the lazy kid continues to redefine market segments that everyone else copies.
And specs don't matter. The user experience does. Doesn't matter if you have a 350HP car if a 250HP car can beat you in a drag race due to superior engineering, body design, weight, etc.
But hey, keep touting specs.

My guess is it's not convex but flat. If it is, then possibly the bezels are slighty raised on the side to compensate for laying it down flat, but I highly doubt that.
I'd say more then not that it's a flat button.

YEP...QFT.
And remember, you can only compare sandboxes to sandboxes and only recently did iOS and Android finally end up on the same carriers in the USA and we saw what happened...Android market share fell and iOS went up, with a 9 month old iPhone appearing on TMobile.
When Apple gets on China Mobile, Android is going to take a very big beating.

Um...ya think?
You obviously didn't get the joke. Think it through.
So you think battery life doesn't matter? It's a spec Apple could have chosen to improve with the iPhone 5, but nope, Apple chose to make the phone thinner. I bring up battery life because it does affect the user experience.
I use a MacPro at work and a iMac at work. Apple never tops out everything, especially on the iMac. My Hacintosh at home can run rings around my MacPro and iMac...all because I can pick the components I want, especially video card.
And iPhone 4 is almost 3 years old. That's like 5 years in desktop time. Of course it's going to lag with iOS 6. I bet it doesn't lag if you kept it on iOS 5. Just like with a PC, you have to keep the OS on it around what it was designed for.
It depends on how well it works. My girl's laptop has a fingerprint scanner. It requires a slow scan and I don't like it.
Even though it's going to need a 'live' /active finger for the access, just think of all the dumb thieves that are going to cut peoples thumbs and fingers off when they steal their iPhone now because they think they'll need their fingerprint..which won't work.
And yes, I'm being dead serious. You'll hear a story like this within 6 months of someone getting one of their fingers chopped off in the robbery with the phone.

iMacs don't run each release of OSX, nor do PCs run each release of Windows. Their are minimum processor specs. Same with the iPhone.
Sorry but your argument just isn't sound.
The iPhone 4S was a success, it sold more than twice the iPhone 4 in its first week-end of sales.
What? Apple tries to prevent users from running an unsupported version of OS X. Apple does the same thing with iOS and unless I bumped my head Apple supports iOS 6 on iPhone 4.
Yah they support iOS6 on the iPhone 4, but that is the lowest model, so you can expect the lowest performance.
Just like OSX runs on previous iMacs but wont run on iMacs before 2007. Those from 2007 (like my parents) run it, but it's laggy as hell.
You're changing the subject. xNYMetsx stated that the phone should be able to run the software Apple released just fine. I agree with that too. I know I shouldn't expect to get all the features, but the phone shouldn't run like crap. Recall running iOS 4 on an iPhone 3G. That was an Apple approved "update" that was a total dog.
And you can't compare iOS to OS X. Why? If a user upgrades OS X and doesn't like it a downgrade isn't that difficult. Apple has made downgrading iOS a PITA.
This is one big conspiracy to collect a more accurate and encompassing fingerprint database for the FBI. Social profiling in the works here. I am not one bit excited about this feature. Give us more battery life, give us more WiFi range, but THIS??? This is just crazy. And you know they will be collecting those fingerprint scans and turning them over to the government...Apple already unlocks iPhones for the FBI on their command. BEWARE!
Apple will "securely" store your fingerprint in the cloud!

Mithril or no deal.
