Steve Jobs Turned Out To Be Completely Wrong About Why People Like The iPhone!
Jobs launched iPhone and its initial updates with a 3.5-inch screen. When the iPhone 4 ran into trouble because it appeared to drop calls when users held it the "wrong" way, Jobs held a news conference. He was asked, why not just make the phone bigger, so that the antenna might have more space within the device and thus get better reception?
He replied that he disliked the new crop of bigger phones from Samsung et al. "You can't get your hand around it," he said, "no one's going to buy that." He also derided big phones as "Hummers."
- iPhone is too small. I went 6" and that was too big. 5" is absolutely perfect in my opinion.set
- THAT'S WHAT SHE SAIDset
- Hes been wrong about things before. He didnt have the foresight to see where it was heading...CygnusZero4
- ... and what people would like with a phone that does so many things. Need screen space.CygnusZero4
- when the iphone came out, it was the biggest screen on any phone ever, no?monospaced
- they made other changes to make it more ergonomic, like double tapping home for the screen to drop etc etcBrokenHD
- I think it's fair to say he was right at that time (he was), and that peoples' tastes change.dMullins
- Honestly, we all wanted smaller and smaller for so long. Now we want a little bigger.dMullins
- I agree with set that the 5 is the size perfect unless you are Shrek.dMullins

I dont think its that big a of a deal that Steve was way off about where these smartphones were heading or what people wanted.
He was able to nail some things like ipod and digital music because it was clear it was already heading in that direction. They actually came late to the game with that, so he was about to take it and make it easier for people.
With the iphone they werent late, so he guessed wrong about the smaller screen. He was more concerned with being able to hold the phone in one hand and use it, but turns out thats not really the most important thing to people, its having more space to deal with these apps. That part he missed on the Samsung figured out earlier. Still not a big deal though, Apple is making money hand over fist every quarter. Billions.
- When the iPhone first came out, apps weren't that intensive yet or required a bigger screen.iCanHazQBN
- The same goes for watching movies online or on your phone. It just wasn't as accessible back then to watch a movie on your iPhone.iCanHazQBN
- movie on your iPhone. Especially when there was nothing in place to convert Flash to a playable format.iCanHazQBN
- when it came out, the iphone had the biggest screen of any phone, no?monospaced

I'm hearing that there are all kinds of order delays now, but I just pre-ordered the 64GB 6 and saw no shipping delays. Should get it on the 19th. Had to pay full price for it because my upgrade isn't eligible until February, but that's the breaks considering my current iPhone 5 screen is broken.

- screen repair kits are like 10 bucks. kids will meet you in the mall and repair it for like 70BrokenHD

i want the smaller one
- I would never want one as big as the 6 plus. Glad I'm upgrading to 64 GB though. 16GB has been full all the time.mg33

RadioShack.
I've upgraded every other phone starting with the iPhone 3. I traded in an iPhone 4s to R.S. for an iPhone 5 16GB and only payed $49 with a new 2 year plan. I traded in the wife's 4 for a 5 only having to pay $99.
We skipped the *lol* 5s and 5c so we're both eligible for the 6. Yay us. Cool story bro.
- RadioShack still in business??desmo
- You better get that upgrade before they go out of business!organicgrid

ATT Next plan is cheaper then going 2 yr contract.
ATT Non Next:

Monthly: $40 (Phone+Text)
Total: $1399Next:
$32.64 Month
Monthly: $15 (Phone+Text)
Total: $1143Plus Data Plan if you're on a shared plan.
Just saying, might be the way to go if you're on ATT and share data plan.
- ATT sucks balls in the states though, like BIG METALLIC BALLS, even if it was 50cts a month, it's not worth itMiguex
- Good serve for ME, fastest LTE I've seen. Cant do Versizon/Sprint no talk/data same time.ArmandoEstrada

I liked the 5 too. I might have held out a bit longer if not for my smashed screen on it.
