Who is going to buy the iPhone 5 after learning that they are to increase the screen size ?
For a long time now iPhone users have been telling android owners that they wouldn't want a screen any bigger than 3.5 inches as it :
"wouldn't fit in their pockets"
"would be too bulky"
"theres no point having any bigger as 3.5 is perfect"....
so who is going to buy this monstrosity of a phone

Sensoria, you are a strapping rugby player and coach. How can that be too big for you.
People like Apple
People like Samsung
People like Nokia
People like HTC
I think anyone who buys a Samsung or HTC are buying something that looks like a kids toy - hence why it's cheaper.
You pay more for a premium product - a steak will cost more than a tin of spam.
I just dont want a big phone. I would have been more interested with a smaller one. I dont get the attraction to big phones.
Personal prefrence I know.
Until I see it in the flesh, nobody can comment. The fact is, its the same width as the previous generations so you can still type on it with one hand. Any new "bandwagon Android everything has to have a massive screen" "lets innovate by adding another 2 inches onto the screen" handsets are still using weird aspect ratios so the phones are a stupid size. 4" is big, but not ridiculous.
EDIT: I mean seriously, WTF is this?

Didnt you just say be happy with whatever phone you get, then proceed to call Samsung and HTC makers of kids toys?
Practice what you preach Steve.
Its a Note, vids look great, surfing looks great. The screen is wonderful, the S pen is tremendous to use. It fits in the front pocket of my jeans and I can sit down without it snapping in half. If it makes idiots come out of the woodwork and say "look at that silly man with that huge phone" then great.
I did a bit didn't I?
Meh.
I'll behave from now on...but the same goes for the rest of you!
I'll try
Bless you, you naive little thing
Exactly...I really don't like spam me...:D
If you are happy with your phone can you not think other phones look like kids toys?
Looks can be deceiving. The iphone is a toy compared to other smartphones.
In what way?
Most smartphones are pretty much similar in what they can do – nothing special with any of them really.
Then Apple announced the iPod Photo and they collectively wet themselves with excitement.
Of course, at that point video was still a waste of time on a music player.
Then Apple announced the 5th-gen iPod that could play video and people were so amazed they actually had seizures - the idea that you could play video on your music player was just that mind-blowing.
There's nothing new about blinkered fanboy doublethink (NB I'm not say that the majority of Apple owners fall into the category or that anyone here does, I'm also not saying that the phenomenon is unique to Apple, though it does seem a little more common).
TBH I still don't see the need to watch a video on an ipod and don't think I ever have
So much anger towards apple its bizarre! If you don't like something don't buy it. If you dont like the ethics of a company dont buy it.
Its not difficult.
Except when you completely stereotyped iPod owners at the start of your post?
What about the type of people who go around constantly belittling Apple because it's apparently the "cool" thing to do?
