I do wish Apple would make a big phone.

The day will come that we will just buy one smart device (the size of a nano) and we just plug it to any type of screen we prefer. It does not make sense to me that we keep buying the same components over and over with different screen sizes.

I agree that one size fits all isn't true, but close to one size will fit most. At least that is my WAG.

The appeal of always with you is what drives this. A larger screen is nicer for computing use, and smaller unit is better for phone use. Where is the sweet spot? In some sense it really is a compromise of poor solutions for both (I'd prefer a 20" screen for example), but the winning ingredient is that the solution provides both functions and stays with you at all times. In the end this becomes more valuable than the other annoyances, and we change our habits to benefit and adapt.

But the idea there is a perfect size I think is not right.
For many personal electronics fall under fashion's gaze and big phones are the hot new colour.

Apple may have let their brand cool when they went three (and now possibly four) generations of the iPhone 4 look.
