I want a 30" screen that fits in my pocket with plenty of room to spare. Would also like it to weigh >5 grams and have 4x the battery life of the current iPhone.

As for compromise I will keep the 3.5" because I still want it to easily fit in my pocket. Even a slight increases in overall size is unacceptable to me for practical reasons. I would actually like to see a 3" since the form factor would be closer to phone 5 years ago.
 
Too bad iPhone 4 doesn't have a 4 inch screen..would have gone nice with the name..maybe next one will be called 4G and have a 4 inch screen ;)
 
i voted 4in.

although i love the iphone 4 the way it is now, i think having a 4in retina display for the next iteration would be effin amazing!

but i wouldn't mind something slightly bigger. i've played with a none working model of the htc evo and i actually didn't mind the size of the screen.
 
I'm interested in the 6 people who voted for an iPad sized screen... wouldn't that be interesting? I would assume that once you go beyond the 5" then you would need to use some sort of bluetooth device for conversations. As long as you could use voice commands that wouldn't be too bad.
 
Anyone saying 4 inches is too big is a tool. It's half of an inch, it will fit in your pocket.


I voted 4.3 inches. Love those big new phones coming out.
Those who insist that anyone with a differing opinion from their own are tools, they aren't tools themselves at all.
 
I would take anywhere in between 4 and 4.3 inches so long as it had the 326ppi or more.

And just think that bigger screen would give Apple more room to play with for internal hardware....much bigger battery, 2 memory chips to double capacity, slightly bigger but much more powerful A4 or maybe dual core A5...who knows, I can only wish for now.
 
I'd like a bigger screen. Maybe 4.5" at the most though. Hard to say.

I don't really think it would make the phone much bigger.
 
I'm pretty happy with the size it is now. I don't want a phone any bigger than this.
