iPhone 5S or 6 display size path like Samsung
At Phones Review we like to keep people informed about smartphones across all platforms and sometimes like to discuss or offer some insight into a future smartphone. Today we are focusing on the iPhone 5S or 6, as we think the next iPhone is likely to be called, and in particular ask if Apple should be following a particular display size path like Samsung. We’d really like to know what display size you’d like to see on the next iPhone so read on.
There was a large amount of speculation about the iPhone 5 before it went official in September and one of the aspects that was most widely rumored was that it might step up in screen size. Indeed when it arrived it had increased from the 3.5-inch display of the iPhone 4S to 4-inches on the newest iPhone. This seemed to satisfy some customers as let’s face it, not everybody wants a larger device to carry around. However we cannot ignore that the growing trend for the latest smartphones is to have increasingly large displays,
Samsung is a prime example of this step up in display size and its devices are also exceptionally popular. The most popular smartphones on the market right now are from Samsung and Apple and each reiteration of a popular Samsung device seems to be growing in display size. Of course Samsung wouldn’t do this unless the demand was there and increasing sales seem to be proof that the company is on the right track.
For instance the original Galaxy Note that was released in 2011 had a 5.3-inch display. Step forward this year’s Galaxy Note 2, which increased display size to 5.5-inches. Although the Galaxy S line is smaller the size of displays is still growing. The Galaxy S2 in 2011 had a 4.52-inch display while the Galaxy S3 released earlier this year increased again to 4.8-inches. Earlier today we discussed the Galaxy S4 for 2013 and the rumor that it may even have a new 5-inch Full HD display that Samsung is currently developing.
As you can see then Samsung Android devices are steadily growing larger and Samsung must see a good reason for this. It’s not just Samsung devices either. In our pick of best smartphones for this holiday season that included the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, we also included the HTC Droid DNA, LG Nexus 4 and Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD. All of the last three phones have large displays that make the iPhone 5’s 4-inches look positively small at 5-inches, 4.7-inches and 4.7-inches respectively. Other major manufacturers then, also recognize the growing desire for devices with larger displays.
At Phones Review we think an increase in display size for the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 may be too large if it went as far as the 5.5-inches of the Galaxy Note 2. That would be a little too close for comfort to the size of the iPad mini display. However we do think there’s scope for a step up in screen size to 4.5-inches or maybe 4.8-inches.
We’d really like to find out what you think about this though. Are you an iPhone owner who prefers the smaller size displays or maybe you would like to see an increase in size? Maybe you won’t consider purchasing an iPhone as the display just seems too small? What for you is the perfect display size for the iPhone 5S or 6? Let us know with your comments.

Well besides apple trying to decide its next go to size. The screen be a even size . so they made the 5 taller, but should’ve made it little wider also. they need to figure out more advanced Technology to grab the market. Wireless charging, NFC should be a Must, and incorporated into Passbook with a Google iwallet interface. File managment System. Maybe Biometrics security.
The next iPhone should be 1 icon size wider just like they made it one taller. So the same height, just wider because it looks kind of goofy the way it is now.
The next iphone should have a much larger screen
Larger screen make browsing on the phone much present but it had to fit the pocket comfortably too. Due to Phone is made to be carrying around wherever we go all day long. This is one important factor manufacturer should always be considering. It also have to looks proportional overall in the design. That’s the signature of apple’s product which can never be forego.
I’d like the iPhone a little wider. I don’t think Apple’s one-handed argument holds water.
Apple needed some time to develop apps for 4 inch display for the iphone5 , but now apple just released ipad mini and developing apps for 7 inch platform more quicker than some apps on iPhone 5 but in a year time apple won’t have problem producing smartphones with 4.8 or 5.5 inch display like Samsung
In this world of competiton, though no second word about APPLE’s products and performence, it becomes inevitable one to increase screen size,high px camera, high res screen etc.Feel APPLE can understand.
Without any doubt Apple should (but won’t necessarily) increase the screen size.As for the camera well people ought to know that the mega pixel size is not as important as lens quality Have a superior lens and MP increase isn’t important.Iphone seems old fashioned now.I feel the CEO lacks the vision and talent of Steve Jobs.They need to up their game.
4,8 us the best size for me
Actually Motorola has the best receipe. The build is better than anything Apple or Samsung has. If they would have given us a quod processor and two gigs of Ram they would have blown the other phones of the water. I currently use the Note 2 but miss the build quality and long battery life of the Maxx.
One icon wider would be perfect!
Please don’t make the iPhone bigger, my pockets aren’t big enough. Any bigger and I’ll have to carry a purse or hire a butler to carry my phone. It’s a phone not a gaming device. If you want to play games, watch movies and read books, buy a tablet. Now if I could make calls using my tablet then I wouldn’t care how big the phones were.
