I don't understand the bellyaching about this new iphone not being bigger or having a bigger screen.

For my uses, the current form factor is perfection. Any bigger and it wouldn't really fit in my pocket as well.

Any thinner and it probably would be hard to hold on to during a call. And it is not like the competition is any thinner.

I'm sure apple spent many thousands of person hours refining this form factor. I would not be upset if next year's iphone 5 had the exact same form factor.

At some point, neural implants aside, the ideal case size will stop evolving because the size of the electronics are no longer the constraint and what is comfortable to hold will become the constraint. This may have already happened.

Are you really sure you want a bigger phone?

Thank you Apple for working so hard on this and having the best form factor in the industry.
