if apple wants to keep their innovative way of thinking, they should think of having a phone approximately the same size or slightly bigger than i4 but with the kind of technology that allows a user to choose from 3.5 to 4 inches of screen, maybe a tech guy can explain us if that would be possible to do!!!

          LOL! If Apple released a phone larger than 3.5" they would have to call it a micro-tablet...because 3.5" is the "perfect" size for your hand. Did you noobs forget that already. Anything other than 3.5" will mean a new name (tablet) OR that Apple was WRONG about the screen size for the last 4/5 years. Apple is never wrong. lol.

            A minimum of 4.5" viewable screen would be great for the next iPhone. I personally think 3.5" is rather uncomfortable especially for browsing and viewing videos. The SGII is a good testimony to this. In fact, most of the top dog smart phones are now coming between 4.5" and 4.7" screen. This is most likely the best comfortable size. It may also be possible there would be a 4" variant to keep everyone happy with a choice.

              It won't be 4.6 inch screen if so from now on all there phone will have to be that size at least if it changes it'll be 4.0 then later 4.3 then maybe 4.6 after that.

Can't Say for sure what size but i think 4.3". The 3D movies are pretty cool but you need to get the screen facing you right and will probably lead to headaches as did Nintendo 3DS and Evo 3D.

                            By all means a 3.5" screen is the definition of crap!

                            Even if you are blind, you can see that this screen is too damn small.

                            And the line about the ipad is pure dumb...

                              You guys have no clue!!

                              1. Of course Apple is gonna release the 6th gen iPhone in the 2. Quarter 2012. Reason being is that Apple released the iPhone 4S 3 months behind schedule (prolly due to engineering problems with the real iPhone 5, that's why they released only an update from the iPhone 4)!!

                              2. It may very well be true that Apple will finally have 2 different iPhone variants "the new iPhone" and the "the new iPhone mini", both will be 6th gen only separated by screen size. One is 3.5" and one in 4.6". Makes totally sense!!! Analysts have been calling for this for years! (although to me 4.6" seems kinda large for a phone but I'm sure they've done their research on what will fly and what won't)

                                  Wow 4.6 is huge 3.5 is the best screen size but if Apple are desperate to make a big screen then in my opinion 4.0 will be the better screen for iPhone 5
