4 inch is the best size. No more no less.

    True. That's why I'm kinda frustrated with the iPhone 4S' screen. Everything's perfect yet the size of the screen is a major MEH.

        I have a phone and a tablet. For hard web browsing, etc., I use the tablet. So, in my opinion, the phone should have a screen betwin 3,5 - 4 inches (I do not own an Iphone). That way, you can use it for reading an urgent email or a newspaper, but it is more import that the phone is more pocket sizeble and more power efficient (it means smaller screen).

          s?*&^$*! sooon the one note size will be standard. I believe there is an underserved segment that still wants the best screen quality strong performance in a size that's below 4". And maybe not all of them would buy apple.

              i totally agree :) any screen size larger than 3.7 on a smartphone is great !... Tabs arent so bad either ... The Galaxy Note 5 inch is the best handheld pocket size device yet ! :))
