I'm a lefty so hold it with my left hand. I guess the equivalent would be reaching the top left for you. I cannot do it. Apples idea is that you can reach every part of the phone with 1 hand. I cannot, so the smaller screen is irrelevant

Seems easier with my left hand for some reason, even though both hands are the same size.

I guess Apple were saying the majority of people can reach every part of the phone with one hand? I know what the media is like and if the majority couldn't then they would have had articles on this by now in major newspapers, at least here in the UK.

I literally can only reach about 3/4 of the way up on the opposite side. If the phone was wider it would be the same. It's b.c my thumb can only stretch a certain height and still hold it securely at the bottom. Unless I am just checking an app...texting, browsing, everything I do with two hands on the phone. That is mostly the point I was getting at.

First thought in my mind when I saw the title of this thread: What the hell? You serious?

I've seen it and held it with my own hands before, it is certainly quite huge for a mobile device, let alone a phone. Bigger would naturally translate to more weight as well, so might want to think of that as well. If you guys want big, might as well get a note 10.1...

6" 1080p would be out of this world. :D I'm quite happy with the size now, when using it as an e-reader it works amazing and websites too. Any bigger at 720p and the PPI starts to become too noticeable.
