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?

As big as the phablets are getting, I'm surprised they don't come with detachable bluetooth headsets that are nicely integrated into the case. That way you wouldn't look ridiculous holding the whole 6"+ thing against your ear during a call.
