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?

    "Do you wear it on one of those sweet hip pouches?"

    Nah. Fits comfortably in the pocket, with the Samsung made flip cover, that perfectly protects the screen. And if I compare it to an iPhone with some crappy rubber case, it's actually less bulky.

    "Some people get that, some don't."

    Well, some people do get it, probably because they had a device with a big enough screen to browse the internet and do some research.
