Sigh.

#4Personally - I've used 'large' phones, and I much prefer the size of the iPhone 5. Its big enough but not so big that I can't used it with 1 hand.

#6Buyers wanting a small phone or better one-handed operation could still buy a 4” iPhone, and people who want a large screen would finally have an iPhone as an option.
If this is the case, why would Apple have increased the screen size for the iPhone 5 to 4"? It's obviously not big enough to satisfy people who want a huge screen, but it is big enough to make the phone (more) awkward for people with small hands. Seems like a better approach would have been to keep the 3.5" screen alongside the 5" Plus model, unless of course there's also an iPhone Mini in the works.

There is some merit to this comment. I have a Samsung SIII. Perhaps, it is my stubby fingers or short thumb, but I find it difficult to fully use it with just one hand. My previous phone was the HTC Desire, and that was pretty good for using it with one hand.

The 5's size was to maintain the 326ppi of the display and ensure a smooth transition for developers. A 3.5 and a 5 inch screen would have made app developers have to create 2 separate layouts, whereas this approach means that developers 2 similar layouts for 4-class phones (3:2) and 5-class phones (16:9), which should ideally mean less work for the developers
