4S screen is fine. I'm on a 5S now and that's fine. If I want bigger I use my iPad.

At first I thought that my Blackberry Z30 was going to be way to big to live with, but it does fit in trouser pockets, and the big screen means that carrying around a tablet is unnecessary.

You young pups with perfect eyes and tiny hands have fun squinting at your fancy dancy new fangled old fashioned apple products that get repackaged every year and sold as new.

After using an iPhone 3 & 4, I switched to an S4. It really was vision dictated, got tired of having to pull out the reading glasses every time I wanted to use the damn thing, having large hands also made the iPhone a pita.

My buddy has an iPad with the cellular data plan. It is not really supposed to work as a phone BUT...

With SKYPE you can indeed make a phone call with an iPad. Several of his friends have the giant cell phones. He went to a birthday party with many of his buddies there. He called the host and came walking in while holding the iPad to his head like a giant cell phone. He got a good laugh.

When I first got my S3, I nearly didnt buy it because I didnt like the fact that it was so big, but they are so slender you barely notice it in your pocket, and the screen (just shy of 5") is really nice for browsing etc... I don't need an ipad or any other device.

Now its time for a new phone and I'm having te same thoughts. I dont want anything bigger than the S3. Will be looking at the S5 but I'm not sure how big it is.

Very very happy with the form factor of my iPhone 4.

Wish it had more CPU and storage, or that I hadn't upgraded from iOS 6.x, but ....

Yep.

I find the size of the iPhone 4s perfect for one handed operation. Had a larger Motorola which required 2 hands pretty much all the time. Defeats the purpose of a handheld device, imho.

I'm on a five s. I could use a bit more real estate. That is if buttons and icons are bigger.

Wife has a 5S and the son a 5. I like the size.

Apple isn't Samsung, and therefore they simply can't afford to offer more selection to it's buyers than the one-size-fits-all iphone. And, If you don't agree that the iPhone is --and always will be-- the most perfect phone Evar conceived you prolly wear cargo pants and therefore should just go end it all. :cool: No, wait ... that's not right.

What's the problem?!

island911 06-02-2014 02:33 PM

Even more awkward are those using their tablets for taking pictures.

I wasn't sure when I bought the Blackberry Z30, thought it might be too big, but it fits in my pockets without trouble, and I couldn't go back to a small screen now. It's replaced my tablet entirely, and even my laptop only really sees much in the way of use when I have a lot of writing to do (like I'm supposed to be doing now).

I took the dash logger out of one of my racecars rather than bring the laptop to the car I brought the dash to the couch :p

And realized the display on my Razr Maxx is bigger than the display on the Aim MyChron Plus that is in my 911...

I really just look at the dash in my peripheral vision its set such that if EGT,AF, oil pressure or temp exceed preset limits, bright LEDS illuminate, And the progressive shift lights signal shift points....

The screen on the Aim dash is 3.75 in dia, the screen on my Droid is 4.25 in...

[/hijack]

My next smartphone will be a Nexus 5, it has a nice 5 in dia screen in a form factor that is just slightly larger than the Droid Maxx

Samsung just unveiled a smartphone that’s bigger than some tablets | BGR

No. The idea is it works with wearables. (Bluetooth headset, and such)

For people who need to carry a tablet computer, why not let it have phone connectivity as well...

Ladies are impressed with my large phone.
