iPhone 6 Reportedly Coming with 5-inch Display, Large Screens Aren’t “Oversized, Awkward, and Hard To Use” Anymore?

Apple and the Apple fanboys have always mocked the competition’s products for having “ridiculously” big displays. For five years in a row Apple claimed that 3.5 inches is the ideal size for a smartphone display, then it launched the iPhone 5 with a 4-inch display. Magically, the 3.5 inch was no longer the ideal size for displays, because the 4-inch display was “designed the right way: it’s bigger, but it’s the same width as iPhone 4S.” Really? 

You’ve all seen the new iPhone 5, which is basically a taller 4S with an improved processor and aluminium casing. Really, John Ivy? I wonder what you do with so much spare time. But we are not here to mock the iPhone 5 and its silly improvements introduced as major and revolutionary features. We are here to talk about Apple’s plans in the smartphone segment and how they are starting to realize they have fallen behind their Android rivals. n December Jefferies analyst Peter Misek wrote that Apple is testing several iPhone 6 prototypes with 4.8-inch displays and quad-core processors. 

These specs remind me of a Galaxy S3, but that’s a whole different story. At that time we though that that can’t be possible for Apple, a company that constantly said that their smartphones can be handled with just one hand. But CNet informed on Thursday, quoting post by a Sina Tech user called Old Yao, saying that Apple is reportedly planning a 5-inch iPhone 6.

The iPhone 6 spotted at a supplier is wider and longer than the iPhone 5. This sounds to me like Apple will “go large for large’s sake, you end up with a phone that feels oversize, awkward, and hard to use.” This quote is from Apple’s official website that ridicules the Android smartphones with big displays, saying that iPhone 5′s 4-inch Retina Display that “it’s just right.”
