> Who said it was perfect?
Gruber, for one:
"Apple seems very confident about the precise size and dimensions of the iPhone display: 3.5 inches, with a 3:2 aspect ratio. Not 3 inches. Not 4 inches. [...]
The iPhone 4 feels like a major step toward an idealized iPhone form factor. What defines the iPhone, physically, is the 3.5-inch diagonal screen." [1]
"On These Rumors of a 4.6-Inch iPhone Display [...]
Sure, developers would get on board and support the new size. But why would Apple want to add another vector of fragmentation? For this reason and others, I say it’s bullshit." [2]
"Regarding a Smaller iPhone With the Same Pixel Count [...]
It’s a physical artifact, and the size of the display is what’s important. [...] I really don’t think we’ll see screen sizes other than 3.5 inches" [3]
"Color me skeptical that Apple would introduce another new screen size of any sort." [4]

- bane 14y agoExactly and thanks. If I had the time and inclination I'd take a dive through HN's comments the last few years to find similar. Truth be told, I welcome this change, Apple blew it with the iPhone 5, this is the bigger phone people want...but the user and pundit community absolutely drives me up a wall.
- sarvinc 14y agoI actually feel the opposite about this whole phone size thing. I wish Apple would go back to the previous size. Also I've tried out other, larger, phones and they're just not as convenient for me to use.
