Many proponents of bigger displays say bigger is better and anyone who feels otherwise is in denial that Apple is falling behind its competition. By that logic, a 5-inch screen would be better, and 6-inch better still. The fact is, with the current screen size on iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5, your thumb can comfortably reach any pixel on the screen while holding the phone one-handed.
A common complaint (especially among gadget reviewers), however: “The on-screen keyboard is too small for my fingers.” Not everyone grows toes on their hands, you dumbass.
