It only takes one to send Apple back to the drawing board. :D

So you want it to be heavier?
They'll save a ton of weight by losing that heavy-ass glass back. They can then increase the size of the battery and keep the same weight. You'd have to be a fool to argue with that (no doubt many will).
 
Thank you for answering his question by being a condescending *****. If 3.5 inches is too small for you, do me a favour and consider doing the following:

1) Get your eyes checked
2) Buy an iPad
3) Buy a Samsung with said screen size

I really hope the iPhone doesn't go about 4 inches. Even the current 3.5 is fine. This is a phone and I don't want my pockets ripping at the seams trying to contain a 4.8 inch behemoth of a phone.

surprised you didn't go all the way irrational and tell him to go buy a TV instead
 
Down voting is ackwowledging though. The opposite of acknowledging would be to ignore.

Up votes are used to select comments to display under news stories on the main domain (www.macrumors.com) so that site visitors get a preview of the forums.

Why is there all this talk of voting up/down anyway? Even if it was removed, I was just able to vote down a post by editing the source on chrome.
 
Metal for the back would be soo much better than glass.

Definitely, I hope we also get metal for the front part of the phone as well in the next version!:p

Now seriously, apple could use thicker (and more durable Gorilla glass), but they (if the statement above is based on real informations..) used metal, why did they? Maybe next chip will have more heat to get rid of?
 
Out of excuses you found 1.

How many smartphones do you think have been released since the iphone 4? (since it would be pointless to consider phones prior to a phone that was the thinnest. Also ignorant given technology progresses forward). If you don't count carrier variations of the same phone, I'd bet it's only barely higher than 100.

So what you're saying is, if you only include new phones, less than 5% are thinner than the IP4... and if you do include older phones, the number is much much lower. Numbers don't like "for a phone" the iPhone is rather thin, not thick. Calling it thick or fat is like calling someone who earns an income in the top 5% poor. Doesn't really make sense does it?

Well, they could use the new translucent metals: Chain link fence! :D
 
Oh my, someone's awfully upset over nothing.

Upset?:p

You're the one posting distaste for the new larger iPhone and posting your statements like they are facts.

It's ok to have small hands. :D

I think some tried this but their mac would lock up when they used chrome.

You're right, it works. Mister -199. ;) (too bad it doesn't update the MacRumors database, as there is a check server side, but it does locally update the display dynamically before a refresh...).

Nice try but you just revealed yourself. Instead of reading, you just pick out a random post, then launch into some nonsensical irrelevant rant. Nearly every post I've made, talks about my preference for large displays....
 
I think some tried this but their mac would lock up when they used chrome.

The Chrome developer tools are essentially the same thing as Firebug for Firefox, which provides the same in-line source editing functionality. Anyway, Chrome works fine on this Mac, Apple needs to get to releasing new drivers for those new Macs to prevent those panics...

I'm saying it's utterly pointless to include older phones because the ip4 was undisputed as thinnest when it debuted.

I only responded to your post because you posted as if there are almost no phones thinner than the ip4 or 4s. 6 have been brought to light fairly easily. I have no interest in the debate about whether being that thin has merit.
 
I always like a good 1984 reference, so thank you. I think it went over the heads of many people :p

No, we all got the reference, I just don't think anyone really found what parellel the guy was trying to draw between the removal of "too lazy to voice a disagreement" and "total state control over individual thought".

I meant I refreshed and it worked. A post was at -1 until I voted it back up.
 
I rarely log in - mostly just read the forums. I logged in to say that I really miss the down votes. Often someone writes a post that is just wrong/false. As in: "the iPhone 2G has quad core cpu." or some other random stuff.

If a statement got -177 votes it was easy to see that something might be wrong here. Now it might even get a few upvotes and its much harder to find out if what is written is true/false.

So... again - please bring back the down votes, Even though I won't use it much myself.

Is weight really an issue with people?
It's not like their 5lb phones.
To me, I like the weight of the iPhone 4/4S. I like phones that have a "heft" to them. It makes it more quality feeling.
Sure I've had android phones that had great build quality but I did not like their lightweight empty feeling when you held them. Weight feels expensive.
