Brandon Northwood, 22 Mar 2012As a loyal iPhone customer - The rumored increase in screen... moreIt takes about 14 days to adjust to a new larger screen size I found. I had a HTC Desire then got a Galaxy Nexus. It took a little while and now I see the Desire or iPhones and the screens look ridiculously small. Once you have tried a larger screen for more than just a fraction of time, you wont want to go back.

                      dont think apple will move to 4.6'' .. even a 4 inch iphone would speed miles away from competition..though my personal fav would be a 4.3'' iphone.anyways.. lets wait and watch,,

                          As a loyal iPhone customer - The rumored increase in screen size does not appeal to me. An added .5 inches boosting the screen size to 4 inches would be most I could acclimatize myself to use. I have tried to use other handsets/devices before and find it rather difficult to type with one hand when the screen is larger. For images and apps we want to see bigger we have the iPad.

                              Its really disgusting.
                              Don't throw rumor about such. It comes with the new iPhone.

                                If it true I am going back to iPhone. I started with iPhone4 then felt to small screen hurting eyes on long usuage ...then bought iPad2 and then started carring both...then it was parctically becoming imposible to switch between two devices ....finally bought tab7.7 last month. if iPhone is 4.3+ size I will switch back to it.....till then tab7.7 is not a bad choice....I really like it specially reading comics and watching movies lot fun with vibrant color then iPad.

                                  somewhere i can remember that Iphone said that. 4" screens are the right sise for the "normal human hand". and that galaxy with 4,3" is WAY to Bigg. haha i also said that if iphone wil come with a big screen it will be refolutionaire!!
                                  its olways the same. even with the ipad 8" they sayd i was way to smal. and that samsung hass to many sises.
                                  good luck Apple.
                                  im sorry for my poor englis.

                                    The 4.6 inch screen rumor can be dismissed but an early launch is very possible. I have been working in a phone shop for three years now and the iPhone 4s has been reduced in price (monthly contract wise) considerably quicker than its predecessors.

                                        if it is true then they might be launching two smartphones rather than one... one large and one normal... maybe to broaden their customer base
