Ever since i got my epic 4g touch a few months ago i have to have a minimum of 4.5"

Agreed,ive seen many customers who used the galaxy s2,galaxy nexus or phones with similar size screens and now they couldn't bare going back to the old tiny iphone screen. Even the 4 inch screen could be too much of a step back.

Its like your 47 inch tv breaking down and you have to try use a 28 inch replacement!

If i had to use a 4" phone or 28" in place of my 48" i wouldn't know what to do. I need my large screen for my xbox.

Not according to sales.

Not even 2010... The Galaxy S series, Droid, Evo, and a few others were already out with larger screens in 2010. In 2008/2009 the 3.5" was ok, at latest

Apple has a huge market share i don't think they are out to get people with 4.8" android phones to switch, they only need to make current iphone owners happy. my guess is that the average i phone owner does not want a 4.8" screen.

"...Apple wants to stay on top."

Apple already not on top.

Yep Samsung is the world's largest phone manufacturer

I love how I get thumbed down for stating a fact, there are some really stupid people here. If anybody doesn't believe me, here is a link.

Nah. 4G networks are available only in certain countries, so it wouldn't be any improvement for most of global market. They have to bring some more new features.

29. theoak posted on 16 May 2012, 10:26 1

I agree.

Apple has released the iPad with LTE, that is only available in certain countries.

I can't see why Apple would not do that for the iPhone.

15. -box- posted on 16 May 2012, 08:34 0

It's a feature to use it one handed. If someone has to use the other hand, it means they'd have to put down their starbuckdoublemochiattolatesupershot and hipster mesenger bag to use their phone, which was already closer to their face than the drink due to the tiny screen size. If they were to use more than one hand, they'd be holding it wrong

21. andro. posted on 16 May 2012, 08:56 0

Stats have shown that Apple main buyer base are preteens and teenagers,most of them have smaller hands,large screen would be unsuitable for these.

24. kshell1 posted on 16 May 2012, 09:16 0

Im 15 and i can't stand to use the iphone, not enough features for me, to small of a screen, the glass is fragile, and I don't like being part of the crowd.

25. AppleConspiracy posted on 16 May 2012, 09:22 0

And those teenagers are actually businessmen, right?

27. kshell1 posted on 16 May 2012, 09:40 0

Actually stats show iPhone dominates in business. Also iPhone users tend to be older, more educated and wealthier along with more techy.

Studies show the average age for android users is 14-24. Android users are drawn in by cheap phones and free apps. This fits the age group because 14-24 are usually broke.

32. kshell1 posted on 16 May 2012, 12:18 0

Im 15 as i said and im not usually broke, i take apart computers and re sell the parts or just fix them then sell them. I work unlike most my age and i get roughly $300 a week because i work in a woodworking shop w my dad. in the process i have a e4gt, a g2x, a mytouch 4g slide, a kyocera echo, a evo 4g, an infuse 4g, and several more. my point proven i am not broke.

You're not the average 15 year old. Most people your age have no income and even young adults are usually broke because they're not established.

Agreed. But hey it wouldn't be iPhone season without Android users hating. I love this time of year, lol

35. taco50 (banned) posted on 16 May 2012, 13:05 6

I just don't understand what drives people with irrational hate to the point they post on Apple articles daily. I mean it's become a part of their daily lives to announce how they hate Apple. It's a very strange phenomenon.

36. PhoneArenaUser posted on 16 May 2012, 13:08 2

"I mean it's become a part of their daily lives to announce how they hate Apple."

And your daily lives to announce how you love Apple. So, what the problem?
Maybe they don't want to hide their feelings. :)

BS. You very often throw the first salvo in Android articles, usually with made up facts and lies. You are exactly like the iPhone haters you're crying about.
