I was suggesting to Kris an approach to evaluating phone size.
As for me, there is nothing I do with my iPhone for which I seriously think a slightly larger screen would help, and I don't want to discard the build quality, engineering, speed, reliability, ecosystem, and service system Apple provides.
I have an iPad for larger screen needs.
> On my 5 I can reach past the right of the keyboard to type without stretching, and I dont have big hands and the phone would be no where that wide.
Actually, for me, typing is not a limitation.
I'm left-handed, but got a post-surgical nerve injury, and typing with my left hand on a real keyboard, or my left thumb on an iPhone, is quite limited.
Similarly, doing it all with my non-dominant right hand doesn't work, either.
My iPhone typing is mostly done by cradling the phone in my left hand, and typing with my right.
