I didn't really notice a difference when I handled the iPhone 6 compared to my iPhone 5. The iPhone 6 is only comfortably larger than the 5/5s.
Not all phablets. Apple just took the 4" screen and stretched it. With the exception of reachability, they haven't taken advantage of the larger display at all.
Personally, I think they should have the 3 sizes, (4" , 4.7" , 5.5" ) something for everybody.![]()
Terrible news. The advantages of a larger screen simply do not outweigh the advantages of a mobile device that can be used on the go.
You'd better believe that someone at Apple knows. If they decide not to revisit a particular form factor it is likely because they have data guiding that decision.
Something for everybody... to complain about.Cuz that's what we do. I agree with you wholeheartedly btw. From 4"-5.5" should cover most everyone's needs. Needs, hmmm, wants; to be more accurate. Then we can all denegrate the choices made by others while being completely satisfied with the correct choice that we made.
Probably being pedantic here, but where exactly are these mobile devices that can't be used on the go?![]()
Disappointing "news". I will never buy anything bigger than 4". The iPhone 5c may be my the last phone I ever buy.
Apple has made it very clear that they aren't going backwards and that they are moving forward. I may not like it but I respect it...
But screen size isn't always progress, it's a design choice.
It's why I find Samsung's attitude so annoying. Each phone bigger than the last, so people assume they're better, before even looking into other features.
The iPhone 6 is just unwieldy. I want a phone that I can grip securely and use conveniently and quickly. I don't want a phone I have to baby so I don't drop it, I don't want a phone that requires two hands or hand/finger gymnastics to use. I value portability and functionality. If I want a bigger screen, I have a laptop and a TV. It's using the right device for the job.

It's time to move on... to a non-Apple phone.
I love the irony that Android phones are now where to go for a smaller phone that can be used with one hand.
Rumor is that the Galaxy S6 will have a 5.5" screen.
That's well into Galaxy Note territory.
It makes me wonder what Samsung has planned for the Note series... 6" ?
I have a cousin is 5 ft and very petite and she loves her 6+. I don't get the small hands argument.
I know this is TMI, but watching porn on a 4" screen is not enjoyable. Its actually pretty awesome on the the 6 Plus. I don't know how I survived on the 3.5" iPhone. Goodness.
How big of a mistake? I wonder if you can come up with how many millions they might lose because they won't make the 4 " phone any more.
