      1 - Larger iPhone Screens Are a Good Idea: 10 Reasons Why

      by Don Reisinger

      2The Competition Is Doing It

      2 - The Competition Is Doing It

      Although Apple isn’t always so fond of following the crowd, when it comes to its bigger iPhone, it has no choice. Apple needs to be able to match its competition, and right now, most of its top counterparts are offering products with bigger screens.

      3Remember the Value of Video

      3 - Remember the Value of Video

      Watching video on a mobile device can be a pain if a product’s screen is too small. Realizing that, several handset makers have delivered products with bigger displays. Apple’s screen, however, is still too small to watch video for extended periods. And since watching video is a top activity in mobile products, Apple should try to appeal to those folks who want a bigger screen on which to view video.

      4The Perceived Value Would Be Higher

      4 - The Perceived Value Would Be Higher

      Value is everything in the mobile space. For many customers, as recent Android sales have shown, there’s much more value in larger displays than smaller screens. Granted, some customers have found that large displays are getting too big, reducing their productivity, but for the most part, consumers are finding value in bigger devices. Apple must remember that.

      5Apple Doesn’t Change Its Pricing

      5 - Apple Doesn't Change Its Pricing

      Following the value argument, Apple could make a solid argument that its device is the best option out there if it continues its policy of maintaining prices. With each new handset, Apple offers the device for the same price. It’s expected to do that again this time around. If the iPhone introduces a bigger screen at the same price, who wouldn’t be happy about it?

      6Apple Claims the First Change Mattered

      6 - Apple Claims the First Change Mattered

      Apple has done a good job of pretending that certain things don’t matter until it makes the move. The company did that with its decisions to stick with a 3.5-inch display, and then made a fuss about how much more can be viewed on a 4-inch screen. If the first change mattered that much, how much more could a 5-inch screen deliver?

      7Apple Is Fighting to Defend iPhone’s Market Share

      7 - Apple Is Fighting to Defend iPhone's Market Share

      In the smartphone market, especially, Apple is fighting to hang on to its market share. The company might be selling millions of smartphones every quarter, but its competitors are getting stronger and stronger. One of their main talking points is the advantage they have on screen size. By launching an iPhone with a bigger screen, Apple can eliminate one major competitor talking point.

      8There’s a Finite Amount of Growth

      8 - There's a Finite Amount of Growth

      As noted, there are some consumers who have found really big screens to be too much for them. Realizing that, there’s a point at which a screen cannot get any bigger. Apple should aim at getting up to that point as soon as possible so it’s not late to the game. Best of all, if it closes the gap now, there won’t be much room for competitors to go before their screens become too big and lose their appeal with consumers.

      9Another Marketing Topic

      9 - Another Marketing Topic

      Apple is masterful in the art of advertising. So, it should be no surprise that the company would find a way to adeptly market a larger display. If Apple launched a device with a bigger screen, it would have yet another weapon at its disposal that could help it market its new handset.

      10Developers Will Ask for It

      10 - Developers Will Ask for It

      Developers seem like one of the most likely parties to want a larger iPhone. Currently, many developers are creating products on Android that come with larger screens. Porting them over to the iPhone isn’t always so easy, since that device has a smaller display. If Apple ups its screen size closer to 5 inches, developers should have a much easier time designing apps and getting them to the iPhone from Android.

      11Web Browsing Will Be Optimized

      11 - Web Browsing Will Be Optimized

      As monitor screen sizes have increased, we’ve discovered that the more screen real estate there is, the better the browsing experience. Surfing the Web on Safari is fine for now, but it would be much better if Apple delivered a bigger screen. The move would require less scrolling around pages and make for an overall much better experience. Apple must remember that.
