After years of telling everyone that iPhones were the perfect size for your hand, it seems that Apple owners have now realised what everyone else already knew.
Steve Allen on LBC's early breakfast show was commenting that now he has been using his iPhone 6 for a few days, his old iPhone looks small.
Steve is far from tech savy and probably reflects the views of the ordinary man in the street when it comes to gadgets. He loves his iPhone, and he loved his last iPhone too. This isn't an anti iPhone thread, just highlighting how what can seem obvious to most people can't be seen by a typical iPhone fan until blessed with magic Apple pixie dust.
But now the iPhone 6 is available, it is safe to admit things look better on a bigger screen, and it isn't a problem to use the phone after all!

Nice generalisation.
In other news all android users admit that they only use it because the phones are cheap:)
Nice bait and switch.
You start by saying that iPhone users told everyone that iPhones were the perfect size.
But continue by saying that this one person, Steve Allen, has commented that he thinks old iPhones look small.
Is your argument here that because Steve has said this, therefore all iPhone users are hypocrites?
I'm not sure iPhone users (all of them? some of them? of so, how many?) ever said it was the perfect size. I think probably some just said that they find the smaller size easier to comfortably use with one hand. Which is nothing to do with "how good it looks".
Who is this mythical "they"?
This whole thing about "iPhone users" being under some sort of hypnotic mind control by Apple is just getting stupid now.
That you have such difficulty accepting that some people have a difference preference to you, that your explanation about why people buy iPhones is that "they will buy anything Apple tells them to" is utterly, utterly ridiculous.
The simple and unavaoidable fact is now apple have allowed access to normal sized screens 'ideal' 'one handed' 'perfect for my needs' mantra will be lost forever.
The vast majority of iphone users will not, given the choice come next iphone, wish to return to a small screens, I would bet my house on it
So they had no choice...
Except the choice to buy another phone?
Again, who is this mythical group of "iPhone users" who, for some as of yet unknown reason, always have to buy an iPhone?
You will buy anything Apple tells you to year in year out.
And you do.
Now Apple have made a bigger phone, you've dropped this because Apple have told you to.
You do anything Apple tells you to.
This thread is particularly pointless.
Define a 'normal' phone screen. Normal for who? Normal for what make?
The iPhone 6 is too big. The iPhone 5 is he perfect size. It's perfect for one handed use and suits my needs perfectly.
So no, you're incorrect, the mantra won't disappear forever for the simple reason that not everyone likes the same thing.
So not every iPhone user thinks the iPhone 6 is perfect because Apple say so. A quick look on mac rumours will show plenty are returning their phones because they find them too big.
And given that I have a choice in what phone I buy. I can say with absolute certainly that I won't be buying any phones by Apple in future unless they once again release a 4" phone.
What your basically saying is. You see larger screen phones as 'normal'. Up until now Apple said they wouldn't make one. And now they have. So you feel the need to have a dig at the users of said phones. Good for you. I hope it's made you feel better.
Nope.
Nope.
Are you just making stuff up for fun?
The usual suspects ripped into this thread within minutes
Again, nope.
I'm sure everyone appreciates you're summary, but either have a poor memory, are confusing me with someone else, or just making more stuff up.
What I said was that I find the 5S a good size to comfortably use with one hand.
No I haven't. What did I say that makes you think that? Or is that the 4th thing you have made up in two posts?
Oh just stop it. (Although this while making things up[/i{ thing is quite entertaining.
.... wondering what pressure is needed to bend camel poo ......
Steve Allen said his old phone looked "small", not "smaller", there is a big difference, that you seem to miss.
Mythical? People who prefer iPhones and iOS are mythical? OK then.
I know plenty of people who will stick to iPhone regardless of what other phones are available. My cousin has an iPhone 5, she wants a new phone but didn't want to pay up the full price for a new iPhone 6, she said she liked my Galaxy S4 but she wanted to stick with iPhone and will probably get a 5C or maybe a 5S next. Seems pointless to go from a 5 to a 5C though.
Ever heard of brand loyalty or "fanboys"? Of course there are "iPhone users".
Yeah I guess I don't see how this is a story. When I use a 10 inch tablet for 6 hours and then use a 5 inch phone, it seems small too. I would feel this is the case for anyone using any device that's larger and then using a smaller one, it would seem small.
My 6 Plus easily dwarfed it but I am happy with the larger screen...
I look at it like this... It's what works for you as an individual, surely? Some people want an all singing and dancing phone, others don't.
So are we talking about "iPhone users" or people who always have to have an iPhone, even if it doesn't have features they actually want?
I was having so much difficulty and this thread came to my aid.
A 4" screen is smaller than a 4.7"screen
Who knew.
