To all those unhappy with iPhone 6 screen sizes

[itsmemuffins]

By your logic, you shouldn't have bought Apple products either since some components in there were made by Samsung!

Yes well. As we say in the burbs. It ain't all perfect.

 

[TechGod]

I like Apple, am trying to leave this place in a better shape than I found it. I think not using Samsung is one way of doing so.

So you treat Apple as your religion? K den.

Ok good. We agree on at least one thing

I have seen lots of posts lately about people complaining about the size of their screen. The 4.7 is too small. The 5.5 is too big.

The complaints I've seen are that both iPhone 6 and 6+ are too big, and I agree with that. 5S is about the right compromise of screen size and one-handed usability.

Are there any Android phones that have flagship-level performance and features in a size closer to the 5S? I see the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact mentioned as a good "small" Android phone, but it doesn't appear to be that much smaller than the iPhone 6.

Screen size the compact is only .1" smaller than iphone 6, however it's physical dimensions are much closer to the iPhone 5s, and with onscreen buttons usable screen estate feels similar too. It's a good compromise.

I think if Apple implemented one handed keyboard mode, there would be less of an issue.

Of course for you.

Using the keyboard one-handed on my iPhone 6 isn't so much a problem for me. I can reach all the keys, though I can't type as fast as on a 5S -- might be a matter of practice or it could be more distance to travel slows me down, only had it for a few weeks now so time will tell.

But reaching actions in opposite top corners of the screen is impossible without repositioning the phone in my hand (and then I can't reach the home button and have to move it back).

well said. i always keep this in my mind - Apple is USA, Samsung is Korea. so what product will you buy? i have had iphone since 3, and have macbook pro. not a fanboy but would like to help our economy any way i could.

Help your economy lololol...is that because of the all the tax Apple pays in the US?

I think 5.1 is a good size. It's easy to hold in one hand but has a nice sized screen for consuming content.

You should try reachability for the top corners.

This. Reachability is a nice little feature when I can't reach that corner when using my dads phone one handed.

So you got what works for you. Great.

 

[TechGod]

Some would argue, Atheism is a religion itself.

As for the OP. You got what works for you. Great

Wait..what? Atheism can not be a religion.

I think 4.7-5.1 is the sweet spot for a phone. 5.5-5.7 for a Phablet.

Still can't see myself owning a Touchwiz device though. Saw the review of the Note 4 recently. Waaaaay too much going on.

 

[tech4all]

I had the Galaxy S4 after 2 months with the iPhone 5. Although i liked that phone at the time, I would NEVER go back to Samsung. I used it a good year before getting an HTC One M8 and eventually you just start realizing that nothing compares to Apple's physical and software combo. Im happy with my iPhone 6 and iOS 8, since they added Quick Reply and custom keyboards. Just miss the IR Blaster when im too lazy to get the Direct TV or A/C remote.

Nexus. Nuff said.

Love my 6 Plus! Wouldn't trade it for a Samsung ever! I think the OP should be posting this crap on a Android forum.

In fact I compared my 6 Plus to my sons S5 and it looked much nicer when looking at websites. He switched sides before the new releases by the way!

*an Android forum

Wow, somebody mentions "Samsung" and you all get so mad. Take it easy folks.

 

[itsmemuffins]

Thats the idea on paper.

Sometimes though, you start wonder if its really just two sides of the same coin.

The evangelism of an ideology.

...and the priest.

I think you misunderstand religion. For there to be religion. There must be a God. Since we don't believe in God. There can be no religion.

What you linked to get s a movement. Much like feminism.

If you say so.

Didn't I?

Boom. We don't believe in fairy tales. Science also proves this and science is not a belief.


( I have a feeling this is going into PRSI very soon...)

Sometimes though, you start wonder if its really just two sides of the same coin. Is choosing not to belief a belief itself. Depends on who you ask.

...and the priest.

Anyway, this isn't a PRSI sub-forum.

Still can't see myself owning a TOuchwiz device though. Saw the review of the Note 4 recently. Waaaaay too much going on.

How is science a belief though? Science is real. God can't be proved.

 

[Zwhaler]

This will actually catch a lot of people op. Pretty superb bait.

What, a long time iPhone user can't, gasp, like their S5?

Yea...Its not a PRSI forum so i'm stopping my replies here. In fact i'm gonna delete the original posts.

Not really.

Its merely the pursuit of an interest with devotion (with or without a god).

But as daneoni said its not a PRSI forum so i shall leave it there. Ignore my original post.

5.2 is my sweet spot. My hands got that perfectly. I want the most screen but still able to one hand it. To the op. Galaxy s5? That phone insults tech lol.
