Poll results: Would you buy an eventual iPhone 6 with a larger screen?

With iPhone 6 rumors and leaks coming out of our ears, a few days ago we thought it's about time we sought your opinion on the upcoming Apple flagship.

If the rumor mill has it right, and we have a feeling it does, the next iPhone will be outfitted with a very large (for Apple, at least), 4.7-inch display. That's a not at all trivial jump from the 4-inches of the iPhone 5 and 5s, which have 0.5-inches over all older iPhone models.

Display size, precisely, has been the single most repeated argument for many against the iPhone, especially if they happen to be users of rival platforms. Now that Apple is seemingly ready to make the transition to a larger-screened iPhone, for many the question would come down to brand loyalty and a choice between Android, Windows Phone, and iOS. And that's where our poll comes in.

When asked whether they'd buy an eventual iPhone 6 if it had a larger screen, the majority of you (irrespective of current OS platform) -- 55.42% -- voted that they would, indeed, go for it. The remaining 44.58% are seemingly uninterested. Check out the exact break down below in order to gauge people's platform loyalty.

Actually 47.4% of Android users polled to jump ship. That's half the Android users who participated on the poll :O

I thought the same as well when I got the iPhone 5s last year but iOS is a big turn off for me. I didn't even mind having a smaller less capable phone but you will grow tired of the limitations of iOS especially if you're a long time Android user. I wouldn't be surprised if half of the 30% come back. Just look at the new screen sharing feature Google released for Chromecast yesterday. I'm dead tired playing with it all last night and it was free. Imagine the possibilities of Android wear in a few months. Google is just the better software company at the moment. Apple is still trying to figure out maps.

Well if you like Apples wall garden. Then that is great for you. I like Android and its agnostic approach for the OS. Apple and others only wish they could be like Android with every kind of device known to man. Not to mention every kind of price. Oh, sorry but we are talking Apple with its double to triple the prices for roughly the same hardware. Actually that is an insult to Android, because Android flagships are superior to any iOS device. It will be interesting to see how the new resolution will work out in the larger iPhone displays. Considering every app has to be reworked and compiled again to take advantage of the newer resolutions. Android from day one has been better suited for scaling.

It is probably the same iOS/iPhone user who voted in "I'm an Android user, and I would buy an iPhone 6 with a larger screen" just to make android look bad. But its nice Apple bumping screen size. Hope they well make use of the extra space.

Being an Android user and buying an iPhone 6, doesn't necessarily mean they abandoning the Android ship. They might just want the iPhone as well. Many people here are just fan of tech gadgets and want best of both worlds.

You know what this survey proves, there are more Android readers on Phonearena than Apple readers. This completely explains why every single Apple article gets bombarded with anti Apple hate. You would think Phonearena would cater to Android more but Apple articles get so much traffic. The Android faithful are fueling Apple articles which is a funny irony.

"You know what this survey proves, there are more Android readers on Phonearena than Apple readers." What "survey" ???? LOL Does your "survey" say how many of those Android readers are actually ifans, with "android lover" accounts, just to fight dirty with Samsung ????

I really shoudn't even take the time to respond to you, because you just showed how much of an idoit you are, but I will. "What "survey" ???? LOL" Survey is a synonym of poll, and specifically a poll is a type of survey. You can use them interchangably. Yes in this case poll is more specific but your "LOL" would imply that you think survey is the completely wrong term. And as far as people making fake accounts to swing a vote, I would put money on it goes both ways. And since most Android users make a big fuss about the smaller screen on iPhones the people with those two accounts probably voted twice and or split their vote for option 2 & 3. Because its seems that more Android users care that the iPhone doesn't have a larger screen than Apple users. And as a sidebar I voted for option 3 as someone who uses a Moto X and iP5s daily between work and personal uses.

You are correct. Actually, it's like that on most tech sites. What's surprising is how many Android users that are willing to switch. I thought that box would be 0 lol! Them robots go hard on these sites. There must be a lot of lurkers that never really comment.

Only Android fanboys do stupid stuff like that. Kinda like all the negative feedback on tech sites and forums when Apple releases a product or software. The majority are robots posing as iPhone owners and complaining.

No proves about that. I have proves , though. See the M8 vs S5 poll("what would you buy). LOL M8 "lovers" beat to the ground S5 there. WHO VOTED THERE??? Come on! ;) Besides the tech sites ban most of the real Android users with no real reason, and you can see brutal ifan commenters using the ugliest offending words , BUT NEVER BANNED.

Regarding your discussion enchanting comment it's not very surprising most androids are getting banned.

The point is not that I (and most real android users) was banned. But that all brutal iboys was NEVER banned. The tech sites made this cleansing , so to win useless polls like this , and make their propaganda,

The same reason the iFans (as you say) created "android lover" accounts to vote. Can't you remember your own comment? What you got a fish brain droid Lover??
