The only reason why Apple has only
now gone to a bigger-screen iPhone is the essentially tyrranical rule of the late Steve Jobs.
Jobs always insisted that most of the functions on the iPhone be operated by one hand; as such, note that on the iPhone 5/5C/5S models (the last iPhone models Jobs had direct design input before his passing in October 2011), the width of the iPhone stayed the same as the iPhone 4/4S models because of the need for easy one hand operation. Once Jobs passed from the scene, that mantra no longer applied, and as such when the upcoming iPhone models were designed, note larger screen sizes--4.7" and 5.5" based on the hardware leaks coming out of Apple's Chinese suppliers.
I myself want to get the new 4.7" iPhone with 64 GB of storage so I could replace both the current cellphone and my iPod touch at the same time.

I like being able to use my phone with one hand, and be able to slip it into my jeans pocket.
If they keep making them bigger, we’re going to end up like those guys who used carry massive boom boxes on their shoulders and you’ll need four hands to operate it.

I agree if you're talking the monster that is the Samsung Galaxy Note
phablets.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III, and with the right case it fits in my coat pocket easily (the original case I got made the phone look too "bulky"). My brother's Motorola Moto X is also pretty reasonably sized consider its 4.7" screen.

Larger smartphones have been dubbed “phablets.”
The larger the better, for these olde eyes.
To: AFreeBird
Ditto. I have the iPhone 5S, and I don’t think I really want anything much larger, as I’m also a “1-handed” devotee. Really, if I wanted something bigger, I’d be clamoring for adding phone features to the iPad Mini.

Large screens for the iPhone 6.
It’s not “innovation” until Apple does it too.
So, where is the iWatch?
There are a lot of Apple fanatics waiting for the iAnkleBand.

Jobs is dead. Sadly, the decline of Apple has begun.

I have heard that he left a list of possible products that Apple should develop in coming years. .............
