You say apple would have made a 4 inch screen back in 06? Not even that would cost a lot of money and a 3.5 inch was already really big for a phone. And second to everyone saying that the quality of the screen is more important that BS cause all high end android phones all have good quality screens and there way bigger!

But I really don't want to carry a wide screen T.V. in my pants. I hope Apple never increases the actual size of the phone itself, just the screen. Also, if it comes at too much of an expense to battery life, then I'd prefer the smaller screen anyway. If they make the screen larger without making the phone larger, then all is good.

We need phones that are bendable rollable or foldable. It's possible that such a design wouldn't be exactly ergonomic, but it would be convenient to be able to roll up our phone to stash it somewhere.

Then suddenly the 4" version is going to be perfect and holy and will get rejoiced by the same fanboys who will then be in direct contradiction with their past statements. This is what I HATE about the fanboy Apple pundits, they flipflop on anything as long as it's 100% in agreement with every Apple release and product ever. Look, I love Apple too, but I can openly admit when they underwhelm or release something that isn't the best. There's nothing wrong with healthy criticism, but people like Gruber and Curtis and all the other goobers who are saying the 3.5" is Jesus himself are just flat out ridiculous.

And you post it as if it where a study? Is there any statistical analysis available for review? This is all silly to say the least. IF he does have a theory, then he should at least do some decent study to support it. At least some data collection and a regression analysis. Here, I volunteer the first sample in the data set: I've used iPhones since they first came out. I do a lot of internet browsing, app usage and email. My thumb measures 3.25 inches, and my user satisfaction level with the iPhone screen size is 5 on a scale of 0 to 10 (and it keeps getting lower with time). I think the iPhone 4S specs are nice to have, but overall they fall short. 512MB of RAM is not enough. Once I reach certain level of multitasking I need to start killing apps to keep the UI from slowing down. And the screen size, well the screen size.....what can I say? I have a big, fat long thumb. Bye, Bye my precious. It's been a pleasure..... And Mr. Curtis, please curb your enthusiasm. Mr. Curtis went through all this effort to express a biased opinion?
