So Apple will more than likely produce a 5inch screen for their next gen iPhone.
How are Apple going to get around their hands, thumbs & common sense excuse for the iphone 5? Samsung will have a field day and It is going to make for comedy gold for their commercials. Once again Apple will be in the following others category. Look at the Ipad mini for example why did they release an inferior product (mini ipad2) at a cheaper price point to compete with Nexus 7 and others?. Their excuse “we need to compete on price point so we produced something to fit that space” Apple do not belong in that space Apple can not compete on price without compromised its core values. The Apple of old under Jobs (had he approved the ipad mini) would probably have released the mini equivalent of the iPad4 expensive but more in line with Apples values. Even if it was at the SAME price point as a full size IPAD 4 you are paying for the convenience of a smaller IPAD (He would have released both together) so neither oner are eating into each others profit margin. If you are looking at Apples core audience given the choice between a Nexus 7 and a Mini version of an Ipad 4 what do you think would be a more profitable tablet? Apple have forgotten who they are.

I’m hoping Apple will release a 5-inch soon; if not, I’ll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note.

Apple is overlooking the entire generation of us ‘with-it’ Senior Citizens that passionately embraced the FIRST iPhone, and loyally upgraded to each new version. Due to old age failing eyesight, SMALLER screens are NOT a viable option for the greater majority of us.

Reward our loyalty and give us BIGGER screens!

I’ve gone with Samsungs for the last few years, partly because I like android, but most because of the screen size. I prefer the outward design and finish of the iPhone, and I guess I could get used to iOS. So I would definitely be up for an 5″ iPhone as the current and previous are dinky in my opinion!

I’m ready! Not only am I jealous of the larger screens, my eyes are suffering at the size of text on my favored iPhone 4S

i too would love a 5″ iphone but at some point the rumors were saying the low cost iphone would be the big one (to be more androidy-like) for china but i dont want a laggy low class iphone for the price of screen size. i would even guess it would have better specs than a 4″ iphone due to more room for well… stuff.

I have big hands, and I would not purchase an I-phone unless they come out with the 5″ screen.

Did you know that Apple stock is taking a blood bath because of public and analyst perception that they are dead in the water with respect to innovation? Android and Samsung have made MAJOR strides in the last few years. I have owned every ipod, iphone, ipad, and macbook. I have recently purchased a Galaxy Note 2 and I now laugh at the “comically small” iphone 5 ( I sold mine! ). Apple needs to stop introducing old technology in tiny increments to milk their user base. The “sheep are catching on!”

Since you asked, I would like a 5 inch I phone and have no interest in a mini I pad.
