I, myself will not. I was already forced to buy them all a second time when the iPad came out. I'm fed up with the double (and possible) triple dipping.
Got a tip for us?

Will you re-purchase all of your apps when they increase the iPhone screen size?

I'm hoping all apps will be compatible. I can't imagine Apple making every developer update their apps. I hope that there could be a status bar to take up the rest of the space of the new screen. That bar could include things like sports scores, weather, setting toggles (wifi, airplane mode, etc.), texts, emails, etc.
But I think I would jump ship to Jelly Bean if I had to repay for all my apps.

Only the free ones. I have used very few of the paid ones that I won't pay again unless the updates are free.
is it possible to request for a refund or free HD version if you have the old one or you really need to purchase it? if not... well, idk..... i would love to play HD games... >.<
well, that's good to know... all my games are not available in HD (yet) and i haven't got any news as to whether they're going to increase in size...
It is extremely extremely unlikely that you will need to repurchase your iPhone apps if they change the screen dimensions.
If the dimensions are only increased in height (not width), I imagine most apps that are based on tableviews will work correctly out-of-box.
Highly mod'ed UIs with UI elements anchored to specific screen coordinates are really the only apps that will have problems with new screen dimensions.

Not at all. I mean, I will for sure repurchase a few if those apps are somewhat work related or games that I am ultimately hooked at. If the screen size increases thus making me more efficient for work then i will repurchase, but again just a few of them will do.
