Back to the iPhone 5S

I switched from the 6 to 6 plus. Reading is great. I'm 5'11" with hands average of that height. I think the only reason this has climbed so high on hacker news is because it has Apple's name on it. More choice is better. As people are consuming more content on their phones, like this website, bigger screens are helpful. Consider PDFs.

More choice is better, you mean "More larger choices are the only thing you have so I guess they are better."

They still sell the 5S, and the next generation will include the same size as the 5S.

Link for that assertion? That Apple will include a 5/5s sized iPhone the next time around?

It's a rumor at this point [1] but if they completely kill small screen phones on the next release I'll eat my hat. Since the 6 came out, I've noticed that smaller people of either gender really prefer the smaller screen size. There's a gigantic market for the 4" screen, Apple already has support for it in their OS, and they're not the type to throw away billions that people are offering them for this size of device.

Yeah, I'd love to see this. I'd even consider holding out with my 5S until whatever comes in 2016 if I could have an equally performant device in a smaller package.
