LOL come on. It’s B E A U tiful…

I think I want one, in pink though.

LMAO, no thanks.

OK, I know I am a mess when it comes to MS Paint. But this is my idea of what the iPhone 6 would look like.

Remember the statement put out by Apple back when the 4 was released? They didn’t want to change the size and shape of the phone because of all the accessories for the phone as well. Not only do they make money on the phones but all that junk that is iPhone specific or has the neat little slot for it.

Although I guess no one has heard of blue tooth. Why buy an iPhone specific product when you can buy a similar product that connects via blue tooth and works on whatever device you have?

So, who knows. I am just throwing a wild guess out there that if you do get a larger screen on the next iPhone it will because they did away with the home button or changed it but kept the same body.

I disagree. We are ready for a larger screen size–not a phablet–hell no, but something more manageable like 4.3′-4.8″ I know I am ready, and iPhone users I talk to feel much the same.

Why don’t we take this conversation over to the forums,

http://forum.isource.com/iphone/6525-apple-currently-testing-iphones-4-8-6-screens.html#post12741

and see if we can get anyone else to join the conversation–good stuff. I had a 4 paragraph response I had just finished, but accidentally navigated off the page and lost it all. I need some time to let my frustration with my Doh! moment subside so I can respond to you again later.

That’s a brilliant idea. How about they widen the Circle but make it slimmer and longer. What is that geometrical shape again? Oh yeah, an Oval. Like on a Samsung.

Now this IS WHAT I THINK SHOULD HAPPEN, but I don’t really see Apple doing that. Especially after all the controversy over the shape of phones (rectangles with rounded edges) and even wall chargers. Unless Apple has already trying to patent oval home buttons.

This is where I feel Apple has backed themselves into a corner at times. Putting out a phone every so often hurts them since they are theonly manufacturer of iPhones, and everyone else making phones to run Android are sort of in an arms race of features and specs. When iPhone has decided on final design and internals for the year model there are already others well past that. They want to stick to their design but the design has a lot of people jaded at this point. Iconic huge home button, too much phone real estate compared to phones now, especially ones with full front screen and soft buttons.

iPhone uses metal because it is stronger, everyone ohhing and awwing but metal gets the paint scratched off to make it blatant where it was dinged and now iPhone making a plastic phone. Again though all that criticize plastic totally on board if Apple does it.

My main OS of choice is Android but for what I do there is ABSOLUTELY no alternative. But I enjoy competition and it really causes all manufactures to step up and continue stepping up. I just feel that Apple is so set in their certain ways that it really causes the users to miss out on how much a phone can do. I mean really, can Apple not add a simple sd card slot or do they really have to charge so much for higher storage amounts.

OH GOD, went off in about four different directions there.

Good point. I don’t want that big of a phone, but I do want a 4.5″+ screen. Maybe they can widen the home button and reduce the bezel like so many other manufacturers are doing now-a-days?

Right, the mindset is that it’s great to use a handheld deviced with one hand, and to have the radius of your thumbs reach determine the screen size. I believe that most of the time that you are on your phone you maybe in a sedetary enviroment, so making it accomodating to one hand use is dated. If there was a way for the phone to have a way to tell if you are using one hand it will just make it one hand friendly as you are walking per say, so the screen shrinks to whichever side you hold the phone. similar to you flipping the phone landscape. Then when you hold it with both hands or landscape it will be full screen. Maybe that’s just too much trouble

I think we can agree on that, I don’t know about you but I think 4.8 is the biggest my work shirt pocket would accommodate. So I’d be ok with them doing that and maybe a 6″ screen for the phablet people. I just want options. S pens would be useless to me, I get why some people want them but it doesn’t apply to me.

So in short if apple has to do this to survive I just hope they don’t alienate the ” no phablet ” people like me.

My Note II fits fine in shirt pocket or pants pocket. No need to change wardrobe. It DID take getting used to holding it my hand… I dropped the thing five times on the first day simply because I had to learn how to grip it without fumbling. And while I don’t doubt that many iPhone users are satisfied with a smaller screen, it would be nice to have the option of an iDevice that meets the middle ground between the iPad mini and the current selection of iPhones… personally I don’t see myself coming back to iPhone unless the screen size gets closer to my note. The S-Pen is nice, but I don’t use it nearly as much as I thought I would. And you can’t beat Apple for build quality… the plastic used in the construction of the Note II feels cheep.

I won’t buy it, 4.8 is as big as ill go and that is pushing it, I want something that fits in my workshirt pocket. There are a LOT of apple lovers out there who stick around for the smaller screens. I don’t want to have to carry my phone in hand or adjust my wardrobe and wear cargo shorts just to carry my phone with me. If I need a bigger display I have tablets for that at home.
