    I don't think that the iPhone will be bigger than 4.5 inches ever and will not be bigger that 4 inches in the next 2 years!

    I don't think it'll pass 3.5" ever.

    Not 4 inches?

    Why not? I feel 4-4.3 inches should be standard at this point in time.

    I don't care how you slice it; but 3.5 is just too small considering how much we use the device.

    They should make it 3.8". Only problem is the pixels won't be as dense

    But.....but.....the device in the picture was so pretty.....

    Na, in all seriousness... Apple needs to get its rear into gear, and push towards a 4" display. I think 4" is the MAXIMUM size, for a good balance between pocket size, portability, average hand size etc .etc. 3.5" is good, but 4" is becoming standard now.

    Yeah if they stick with a 3.5" display, I have a feeling that everyone will be disappointed and there goes Apple's stock value.

    As much as I dislike HTC and Samsung phones, their screen sizes are very impressive and if Apple doesnt play ball with everyone else, they are going to get left in the dust.

    They don't need a 4" iPhone when they sell like hotcakes. I believe iMore significantly more than any other rumor site.

    That is true that do sell like hotcakes NOW. But what happens if a few years down the road, they still dont upgrade the screen size and everyone and their mom has a phone that is at least 4". While it may be ok for now, the 3.5" screen is quickly becoming obsolete thanks to competition increasing the screen size.
