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?

    Brother's wife got a Galaxy S4 because it was bigger and she didn't like Apple.

    She ended up not liking it because, ironically, it was too big for her petite hands and it didn't fit well in her handbags/purses and she had to get larger ones.

    (Actually getting new handbags/purses may have been pluses, but she did gripe about it at first so who knows...)
