Will the screen size impact your next iPhone purchase.

whatever keeps my battery life from not being a POS

If it is still 3.5 then i'll likely sit that generation out.

The phone better not be any bigger than it already is.

I guess I am getting old, so reading small screens is becoming harder and harder. Thus I would like the screen to be big enough to make text the same physical size as printed text, or perhaps for Apple to find a way of displaying information on a small screen without shrinking things (perhaps by tracking eye movements to trigger scrolling). I know one can adjust text size in many apps, but that is not true universally, and scaling of web pages is particularly bad.

This.
If I want a tablet, I'll get a tablet.

Nah, not really. I've been happy with a 3.5" iPhone since 2007, and I find it to be a good balance between screen size and pocketability. If they made the next one bigger, I certainly wouldn't complain, but if they did not change the size, I also wouldn't complain about that. I'm plenty happy with my 4S, and don't really have any plans to get a new iPhone for a couple years now, so I guess that it wouldn't really affect me either way

A lot of people will seriously consider leaving their iPhone's if Apple doesn't bump up the screen to 4" this fall. You'll see.

I wouldn't mind seeing a tiny bump in screen real estate, but I don't want the phone to get any bigger. I've had large screen phones before and they aren't comfortable to use.

I have an iPad and use it often. If I want big, I've got it. For my phone, I want it to disappear in my pocket. I'd love it to be thinner, but more importantly lighter.

If the next generation looks great and the total height/width are the same, I'll consider it. If it has great new features, in addition, I'll definitely buy it. If they slap a 4"+ screen on it, I'll likely keep my 4S--unless there is some new feature I can't live without. I'll still gripe the whole time about the hugeness of it though.

No. Overall handset size would though. I've had a bigger handset, the Dell Streak. Once the novelty of the big display wears off, the size gets annoying after a while.
