Lol... That was Apple on defensive with their lame marketing campaign after they received a lot of bad publicity in regards to iPhone 5 stretched, but still tiny screen and guess what? Some people were actually buying into it
Got a tip for us?

Why is Apple selling a cheap phone and not a larger screen phone? Apple is regressing

All the flagship Android based phones come with QuadCore processors.
I guess that is not reflection of computing power as well
Yet another "finger goes from here to here" advocate... LOL
BTW; iPhone 5 have enough room to implement 4.7" screen. There is so much wasted space that can be utilised to fit a larger screen size in current form factor.
Notice that the back plates align perfectly to the front screen size.
Tech to implement is/(was 10 moths ago) here today, only Apple can make it happen and since we did not see any snapshots of front of upcoming 5S, maybe, just maybe this will be the big surprise announcement of upcoming September Keynote, I hope so anyway...
PS; Apparently Apple didn't implement this screen format in iPhone 5 was due to Sharp unable to provide low voltage screens at the time of iPhone 5 release, they are now... Go and figure...

Some people are not brainwashed and like a bigger screen, is that so hard so hard for you to grasp?
PS; Why can't we have 2 different sizes of iPhone to begin with?!
As i have mentioned in my previous post, every product that Apple makes have multi screen sizes, why NOT iPhone?!
Peace
BTW; Don't you like the render above of 4.7" iPhone? It is still the same size as iPhone 5...

My point was your bashing people that prefer the smaller screen. And the mock up IMO is ugly. it can be done better then that.Some people are not brainwashed and like a bigger screen, is that so hard so hard for you to grasp?

I just wonder, what would be the reaction to Apple releasing bigger screen iPhone from all of you defending the current iPhone 5 screen format?
Would you readily embrace it, or would you criticise Apple''s decision to do so?
I think I know the answer already
Bigger iPhone will come eventually, it will NOT stay 4" forever...

Hopefully it will be done better than that by Apple this year
I expect a bigger screen iPhone next year. Its not as easy as apple just releasing a bigger screen. They need to have the developers in mind.
Apple certainly is regressing. "I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads" on my iPhone.
Apple is a successful business with a in depth business plan and they are not regressing because they don't have a feature you want on their iPhone.
There are plenty of competitors with larger phones so I would suggest switching if you need the larger phone.

They need the power and more RAM to run Android.
Many of us don't care, though.
Apple will do what Apple will do. They will continue to sell iPhone's and make money regardless of whether or not they offer a larger screen or not. Personally, I thought the 3.5" was the perfect choice and chose the iPhone 5 not for it's screen size but for it's benefits over the 4S. I will say, that my thumb can't really stretch much further..
So you are saying Android phone manufactures AREN'T packing tons of computing power into their phones?
Granted iOS might be more efficient etc. but as far as the iPhone goes its the least amount of "stuff" currently.
Your last paragraph is becoming even more inaccurate.
First off Apple is selling a "less expensive" phone NOT a cheap one.
Their experts have determined that a "less expensive" phone will be more popular and provide more profit than a larger screened phone.
Sorry, you loose.

Android is so poorly optimized (given that it has to run on just about everything) it takes roughly twice the resources to get the same results in terms of performance. The smartphone spec wars are completely meaningless because 2GB of RAM or a Quad core, run through geek bench, means next to nothing. Then you factor in the optimizations each company is sneaking in to inflate their scores and you can see that nothing about specs on a phone means anything about the user experience.
User experience is key to having a captive market, not being one of the 15 other manufacturers that touts how big their screen is
I don't get the whole cheap phone from apple. They already sell the older gens for cheap. What's the difference? And yes Apple needs to make a bigger screen. I switched to Android years ago and haven't looked back. And those that say a 4.7 or 5 is too big obviously have girl hands or haven't used one for an extended period of time.
Please feel free to create much better 4" tiny screen mockup.
Oops, I'm sorry, it already exists, it is called iPhone 5 and it is ugly as hell
True, but walk into an Apple store and take a look at the stale, underwhelming products on their tables, and you might start to think otherwise. Everything in there is a big YAWN.
And yet when you walk in, all you see is a sea of people using all that boredom. Amazing huh?

Your free to buy something else then. Not a big deal really.
It's the most profitable retail space per square foot on the planet....clearly a big yawn for consumers
