    Size does matter, Mr. Cook! People need a bigger screen for a lot of different reasons. Personally I may shift to Android pretty soon and I guess there are quite a few people like me. Some day you might pay for this stupid stubbornness!

        Nothing in this world is perfect. Android lags in certain features then Apple lags in major features like unable to make calls, network signal, WiFi connectivity etc.

                  Whatever it is the truth is I was really disappointed by iphone. Disappointments are as follow:
                  1. No expandable memory.
                  2. No bluetooth file transfer.
                  3. No radio.
                  4. No nfc.
                  5. Old design.
                  6. Small screen.
                  7. Worst battery backup.
                  8. Poor built quality.
                  9. Very expansive.
                  10. It can't support various audio and video formats.
                  11. Tiny sound through loudspeaker.

                  iphone is only piece of brick when u can't even transfer a file over bluetooth, what is the benefit of this expansive phone if you can't even have on phone the most common feature even 30$ phone has called bluetooth,radio and memory card slot.

                  Apple its a advise from a common user that make phone what people need in common life not what you wanna make them to use.

                  I Sold my iphone 2 yrs bck and since then there is no improvement and common features added so far. Now I'm really happy user of nokia 112 and samsung galaxy note 2.

                  Apple you know why I am happy because I can use really common feature on my both phone which ur expansive toy doesn't have since in market.

                    Resuming - NO ANSWER AT ALL!!! lol it was so funny there is not even a single reason not to have a 4.8 inches iphone! lol i see people saying " you can't use it with one hand" thas the most ridiculous thing EVER because all of them use the iphone with TWO HANDS. And if you mean by typing or opening an app that can be solved with SOFTWARE... like the keyboard on the note 2... or WHATEVER... if apple did with ipod and with ipad why cant it make with iphone? they don't wanna copy who once copied them.

                      I am very surprised how a CEO of the most valuable company in the world could be so out of touch with the market demands. It is very obvious that devices with larger screens currently dominate the sales. If I look at the front of the IPhone it hasn't changed since it was introduced back in 2007. In the end, Tim Cook you are in a big denial. No wonder I hear rumors that Apple is out on the market looking for a new CEO.

                        Really? If that's the case then where is the results? For only working on one phone a year there is mountains of issues.... Where are the results?

                        Why is it that it took 2 years, 3 phones, followed by a major update to include MMS? Or to get a video camera? On what's "The most advanced" system. What's with all the issues? Why was the 4S the device with the most crashed apps? Why for more than half a year are millions of Iphone users left without bluetooth/wifi, camera flash issues, and so on?

                        You work on one phone a year, yet companies that focus on many do better and supply your parts/ideas/innovations?

                          can Tim Cook tell the users why Apple doesn't want to activate GSM voice on iPad Mini? This way iPad Mini would be a good phablet, they don't even have to design a new one, it's would already be there if they activate GSM voice/SMS.

                              he speaks the truth. right now, they are working hard to sue the next company for the next invention. all work is focused on their team of lawyers.

It'snot really smoother....It's milo seconds smoother generally with a few occasion more instances on Android. And it's only done due to system wide lockdown used to create the illusion of flawless or when Android is computing many things which IOS is not capable of.\
                                  The whole it just works is a made up fairy tale.
