Apparently, size does matter as Apple takes a cue from the Samsung playbook. Reuters is reporting that Apple's next iphone, slated for Q4 of 2014, will have a much bigger display than current devices. A whole 1.5" (38mm) bigger. This will bring the iPhone close to the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Note which stands around 5.7" (144mm). It seems Apple will test the waters with an initial 4.7" (119mm) sized device first with the larger version to appear much later. The question is, do all users think bigger is better?

    I wish the Pre would have taken off- there was a nifty homebrew community with it and the device itself was just simple to use while still being fully functional. Unfortunately I wasn't on Sprint at the time, and they had an exclusive on it since ATT had the iPhone and Verizon had the Droid.

    Unfortunately Palm just had too little too late with that device, and signing the deal to lock it to one carrier put a death nail in that coffin.
