    I don't want to disappoint iphone fanboys. But If we consider facts according to current market trend. Apple is behind SAMSUNG & Others in Smartphone trend & technology. Why Apple wants to be "Down to the Earth" In terms of offering Technology to customers. Its philosophy to sell "ONE IPHONE FOR ALL" failed & collapsed. Current trend of Smartphone Screen Size is 5" or more but Apple is offering more expensive 4 Inch'er. This Shows how apple is Over-confident on its fans.

      Seriously all of you that have either a Samsung or Iphone.. Grow up its pathetic this copying from each other.
      Iphone is a well built phone with great features for a certain audience
      Samsung is the exact same.
      By copying each other we are making progress in innovation by doing this.
      Just to say i do have a Samsung device BUT because i find i use more features on a andrioid device drag and drop, external memory and a few others, dont get me wrong though i do wish that some features in Iphones i would have on my phone but its a choice I made. deal with your Frigggin phone stop coming onto a website to debate as always the have Pro's and Con's

            This is just going to have crazy sales it's not even funny. Wonder what Samsung will have to respond, because in this particular case, they already have big phones.

                Not to mention you cant share your own photos with other phones in the simple way that all feature phones can do. Now how is that perfect?

Have you ever heard of the Nokia N95, to say nothin... moreWhat you said now is a bunch of made up hateful comments.pinch to zoom was invented by Apple and even side scrolling they were the ones who implemented capacitive multi touch on a mobile device. Every smartphone today looks like an iPhone and influenced by it. Even your smartphone be itamdroud Windows or whatever has a bit of Apple inside. You should be thankful Apple created the place for a category for thwas kind off devices and changed the world. The first iPhone could easily tell smartphones today : Luke I'm your father.

                          Anonymous, 23 Jan 2014Apple started the big screen trend with their first iPhone ... moreUm, no. Have you ever heard of the Nokia N95, to say nothing of the N80? Apple invented basically nothing. The original iPhone couldn't do a tenth of the things Nokia's phones were already doing. It couldn't even install third party apps (which didn't come until a year later and the second iPhone--Jobs having no vision, hated the idea). Even existing Windows CE phones were already doing third part apps before the iPhone existed.

                          The one and only thing the iPhone did was put a well conceived touch interface on a small handful of functionalities that Nokia's phones had been doing for a long time. Apple has never been an innovator. Apple takes other people's ideas (sometimes literally steals them--hello Xerox) and puts them together in pretty packages. Even the touch interface (including the pinching gesture and scrolling) was stolen from other pre-existing companies and technologies.

                          What Apple is best at is marketing (including convincing everyone that it invented the ideas that it took from others).

                            This cant be correct, no way this will be the main iphone to take over for 5S. An additional model at 4.8" is possible but the iphone 6 will have size similar to 5S, maybe a tad bigger.

                                Why are people thinking, that making a display bigger, is copying someone or something?

                                It's just following the trends....I'm far away from beeing an Apple fan, I love phablets...but to be honest...if you look at the latest 5S....it looks like a phone from 2010...with it's small screen.

                                        Apple will not remain in the market if do not made the device with bigger screen.
