What if... the next iPhone is still 4.0"

If it's a larger screen I'll be in line the night before launch.

I'm always tempted to leave iOS for Android and a bigger screen but not sure I'd be ready to pull the trigger on that. I'd probably just hold onto my 5 for another year or so.

How so? Because you believed rumors?

It's got nothing to do with me. It's because the expectations of a bigger screen are everywhere, even in mainstream media, and journalists and reviewers would absolutely make mention of it if not flat out criticize Apple's choice of not increasing screen size. Apple would have to defend why in 2014 it's ok to not have a phone bigger than 4 inches when the market and expectation is obviously there. I wouldn't want to be the guy standing in front of a room of journalists trying to explain that away. And how many reviews would have headlines like, "iPhone 6: More of the Same." "iPhone 6: It's Not Bigger." "iPhone 6: Disappointing Screen." So yeah, I think it'd be pretty embarrassing for Apple if every review had to explain what the phone is not, rather than what it is.

Naw it's easy to explain
"It's 4 inches cuz we said so you son of... We did extensive research and found this is what 95% of our users want." :D
 
I'd be happy! Although I would be really surprised: the Apple rumour mill has never been wrong about a design with this many consistent leaks.

Not a chance. iOS 8 now features a few more things that makes the 4" iPhone a little more cramped.

QuickType which features predictive words above the keyboard will be taking even more space for the keyboard than before. Notification Center now has 3rd-party widgets, which will take a lot of space as well. The multitasking menu now has recent contacts as well, which clearly looks cramped on the current iPhones.

The bigger iPhone is happening for a reason; iOS 8 will now show more info than before, and it's more capable than before.

I hate to tell you this but i had those things back on my 4" Samsung Vibrant running Eclair so it will work on a 4" screen. And it had widgets and all that other stuff your mentioning.
I doubt the new iPhone will stay at 4" , ....im just saying it will still work. If it isnt 4", i think they will lose more people and i wouldnt consider getting one either. I would certainly consider the 4.7" screen.

How is obtaining opinions from others making this post worthless?

Sorry for my comments, I didn't realize you were that sensitive to report me. Hope its just the internet that makes you sensitive and not real life, thats probably tough on you if you encounter problems and can't handle it. Let me know if you need any help. Thank you:)
 
I'd probably pay $3000 right now for a bezel free iphone the size and thickness of a credit card with 3 day battery life, ultra durable, waterproof and wireless charging.
 
An iPhone that was 4" would be awesome!

Everybody here would be thrilled (at least the ones that have girl hands) and Apple gets to regurgitate the same model again!
Just change the model number to 6, then 6S, then 7..........They can just keep selling the same phone over and over! Suckers!

WIN WIN!
