Ok. Two big things for me:

1. The screen is gorgeous. Noticeably more vibrant with deeper blacks than the 4S, without going bonkers with oversaturation. Really, really nice.

2. I'm REALLY glad they went to 4 inches. It's really nice to have the extra screen real estate (though only about 15% of my apps are updated as of yet). I'm also REALLY glad they didn't go larger. At 4 inches, it's really at the limit for what is comfortable for me to use one handed. In order to reach the upper left menu buttons, I find I do need to very slightly alter my grip to reach it. Any larger, and I'd have to completely reseat my hand (as it is, it's harder than I thought it would be to reach the top of the screen). So...now I know that anything larger than 4" would really be a pain in the rear end for me, so I really hope they keep it this size.

BTW...I know I might be unusual for a 6' guy to have to reposition slightly to reach the upper left corner, as I have brachydactyly type D (a shortness of the final thumb bone...or 'stubby thumbs.') :D
