I totally agree with you. My iPhone 5s fits great in my pocket for walking around and out and about. My iPad Air isn't fitting in my pocket no matter how hard I try to make it fit. "Guess that's why I have an iPhone and an iPad Air.....

If I want a larger screen size, there are iPads available. What I or anybody else thinks is irrelevant as it is pretty obvious how things are going to soon be.

I have been working with an itinerant teacher of low vision and blind children testing this. When the blind children use the touch-screen directly through dragging the finger around the screen on the iPad to explore, rather than merely using the serial interface of keyboard commands or finger flicking commands, once they adapt to said interface, their productivity and speed becomes significantly quicker with improved understanding of visual layouts and where to locate desired information. Note: all testing and training is being performed with full-sized iPads. Perhaps, mainly blind children have the mental flexibility and intelligence to effectively adapt to a more useful and efficient interface.

For one thing, rumor has it that the iPhone 6 will be larger than the five series, which is a negative from my point of view despite its allegedly faster processor and more sophisticated internal technology. Also, the iPhone 6 will be a bit thinner, which causes me to wonder about the quality of the built-in speaker. Before I decide to jump into an iPhone 6, I will want to examine it thoroughly at the Apple Store. Otherwise, the iPhone 5S seems a very good alternative since I personally don't need enhanced power from my iPhone in any case. On the other side of the argument is the high probability that the iPhone 66 is going to have a camera with more megapixels than the iPhone 5 series.
