I had sapphire glass on my Gucci watch but good as it was I still had plenty of minute scratches even after the first week.

Either it's not a real Gucci or it doesn't have Sapphire glass. My Raymond Weil watch has sapphire glass and even through yardwork and building PCs hasn't developed a single scratch on the glass in 5 years.

The iPhone 4 and 4S have tiny screens (3.5"). Only the cheapest "toy" smartphones designed for little kids (<$60) have screens smaller than that. Totally unacceptable for a high-end phone. At 4", the iPhone 5 is better - but not by much. 4" is what I would expect to find in a budget smartphone or a low-end mid range phone.

The next generation iPhone ~~should~~ must have a 4.5" screen at the very minimum in order to be competitive in the smartphone market. I don't claim to be an expert, but I think this is obvious. No other smartphone manufacturer has a phone with a 4" screen as their flagship model.

Yes, there will be a few people who dislike larger screens but it's impossible to deny that larger screens is where the industry is heading. It's what the people want. Apple could do what Samsung has always done and what they have recently done with their iPad. That is, they could launch and maintain a separate "iPhone Mini" version. In fact, this wouldn't be too far a radical departure from their current cheaper model, the iPhone 5C.

So yeah, Apple. If you are reading this then please consider my advice. I am sure that most people here would agree.

Glad to see Apple took my advice.

100% of access attempts on iOS devices by the NSA are successful. Buying an iPhone is data suicide.

but even if that's the case though, do you really think androids are that much more secure? anything that reaches mass market becomes more vulnerable.

Apple and Google freely hand over the data. Using any of their products is what I like to call "data suicide".
iOS is the worst since it is closed source and can't be modified in any way.
Android is not good, but a little better since it is partially open source and can be modified.

It's recommended (by Jacob Applebaum for example) not to use mobile phones at all.
But if you really need them, use Cyanogenmod.

We need stronger displays, yes!!! I see so many people with cracked displays these days on the bus! The screens really don't need to get any bigger. Samsung's phones are just too big! They don't fit in your pocket or even your hands! There are tablets for that, for crying out loud!

I guess you missed my post. You're not getting a sapphire display on a 16gb or 32gb model. Most likely 64gb and 128gb or only 128.

So If I have say an iphone 5 do I get a discount on the new upgraded model?

While that would be great for a consumer, it would be bad for a company, and they would miss out on revenue.

What bugs me is that the front panel is still the same since the first iphone, how hard can it be to just have a new front design.

Well I gotta ask you one thing: What would you change? And do you see the need to change anything about the current design? Everyone knows how to operate those phones, you'd just scare away a lot of people. Simply changing something for the sake of changing something is usually pretty stupid...

apple generally likes to hold back on technology so in the next generation, they can convince you "this changes everything." if they indeed introduce a newer, bigger screen.. i would think they aren't going to give you sapphire glass along with that. that'll have to wait until the iphone 6s.

Indeed. They seem to really like going step-by-step. I don't actually like the idea of making the screen bigger. It's another factor holding me from many other phones as well. I hope they at least keep the 4-inch screen as an option. This is also a good chance to mention how rumors related to the iPhone are pretty much always righ in the end.

4 inches is way too small, and they are only doing it because it's obvious that iphone users generally want a bigger screen.i do agree though, they should offer a 4" iphone and a 4.7" iphone. i would put money on the 4.7" outselling the 4" though.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'd say I'm in the minority who prefers 4-inch screens rather than larger ones. Lots of people have bashed the iPhone for its small screen, yet, I still don't see much appeal in a larger one. I guess it's all just personal preference at this point. I honestly will have to wait and see how easy it would be to handle such screen for myself before completely denying the possibility of getting a larger one.

I used my phone for web-access when I am not able to get to my PC - to remote control PCs. In those cases not having to pinch and scroll constantly is worlds better. For just reading text 4" is fine, if you want to do anything interactive on the web with the phone a stylus and some real-estate is necessary.

i jumped from the 4" galaxy s (original) to a 4.5" phone and it felt worlds different. when i made the change, the new phone felt weird in my hands, but eventually it started feeling normal. now when i see a 4" phone, i can't believe how i could have used such a small device.

Here in AUS I see lots of adverts on TV about iphone 5 and some exercise app...

their is a guy lifting weights.. app seems to track that (thats easy I guess)
woman running up steps, app tracks that
guy playing golf and app looks as if its tracking speed etc etc

does the iphone 5 has some fancy hw /app ? if so.. what is it exactly ? It looks pretty cool if its how the advert portrays it.

For people who want a phone phone they need to have a 4" offering and for those who want a tablet they can use as a phone they need something closer to 5". They'll probably stagger the release of the larger one forcing people to buy a 4" and then upgrade to 4.7".....ahh Apple.
