5 inch with super slim bezel. I'll be back in a second!

Was it hard for you to feel comfortable with Android coming from iOS?

I'm just starting to contemplate and preparing for changing myself because my gut tells me we won't get anything bigger than 4.3 inches.

For those asking why the poll does not have 3.5 inches (iPhone 4/4s). Well, Apple already decided they will not support that size anymore when upped it to 4 inches. They are still selling leftover stock from the 4S, but soon enough, they'll be gone. So, those who prefer the 3.5 inches, hold on to your phones, or get over it and get the 4 inch, it's a minimal increase. If not, go and see what else is available in the market at 3.5 inches, riiight, nothing else because were in 2013, not in 2007.

I believe it depends on the apps/services you use and if you are willing to adapt to a different ui flow. I can go back and forth fairly easy and do regularly. But on the other hand I always used mostly google services on iOS so I didn't lose much in terms of services. As far as apps, most major apps have android versions and can sometimes be better/more features. Of course there are a handful of iOS apps I use regularly that aren't on android. Have found some replacements but for others it's not the same. Not a huge deal though. The biggest change I see for iOS users is the sheer amount of choice (everything) you now have to deal with. Can be overwhelming for some. This is why you have to give it a few solid weeks to get a real idea.
 
This needs a 4.3-4.5 option. The jump from 4 to 4.7-4.8 is way too big. Apple can easily remove the home button and make an iphone with a 4.3 inch screen without increasing the physical size. Make the home button a little onscreen button at the bottom or better yet, make going back home gesture or swipe based.

Do you really think that they'll remove the key feature of this year (fingerprint) sensor after only one year? I don't think so, IMO they'll want to milk that feature for at least 2 years. This will limit how big the screen can get without increasing the form factor too much.

You can easily incorporate that on the screen somewhere.
 
We can assume apple has given up on that size since no updated iPhone has been released with that size since the 4S.

The poll is for future iPhone sizes.

I was referring to future iPhone sizes. Apple also indicated they have no interest in the bigger sizes either. It's speculation either way. I prefer the smaller size. It should be an option in this poll.

Incorporate a finger print sensor on the screen itself? You're kidding right?

A larger screen seems inevitable as components shrink. As for a 3.5" it is no longer produced. It just doesn't make any sense that they would bring it back in the future. Especially now that they have an entry level phone with the same screen as their flagship.
