Apple gets $1B

Then it's going to be a big phone -- which is what you already described. A half inch increase will make the thing pretty close to the Droid Razr.

If the iPhone 5 is indeed a half inch taller, then it will be pretty close in size to the Droid Razr which is probably the phone you're referring to (it's 5.15 inches tall).

Again, lose the home button, and they can get the 4 inch screen with roughly the same dimensions as the current iPHone.

I just checked out the Motorola again. It is the Razr, and he's got a huge protective case on it. So the actual phone is smaller than I'd previously remembered.

That said, my main problem with its size is its width, not its height.

That extra screen is amazing. Seriously, my email is going to look sick!

If only you could customize it.

Then that big ass Motorola phone Pelado was referring to will be roughly the same size as the new iPhone. They need to lose the lame ass home button.

You can't have a four inch screen, a home button and a phone that is approximately the same size as the current version of the iPhone.

WOuld you risk being haunted by a smelly Steve Jobs?

Or have something on your home screen other than a 4x4 grid of applications.

Widgets!

This reminds me of how back when I was a dj and the teletype would break we used to go outside for a minute or two and then completely make up the weather report based on our best guess.

But I digress

I prefer to ask Siri.

I was worried that the S3 might be too big, but now I love the size. The screen is larger than my droid x but the thinness matters a lot more than I thought it would. Much less noticeable in my pocket.

Question about the iPhone--seems like I know a ton of people whose screens have broken or cracked when they were dropped. I dropped my droid x bunches of times and not a scratch. Is it a cheaper glass?

Samsung should patent larger smart phone screens and then sue Apple for eleventy billion dollars.

Hoping to get the S3 through work soon. Is it one of the models against which Apple is seeking a sales injunction?

I love my S2.
