When did they ever make such a claim in regards to it being the only size that should ever be on phone display?
What is it with you and absolutes all the time? You seem to frequently take a rather general and/or innocuous statement and dispute it based on a level of specificity not contained in or intended by the words.
No one ever said it's the ONLY size, Apple's marketing referred to it as "the perfect size" for people who apparently have had one arm amputated or something.
And now you're off on a tangent both ludicrous and unrelated. Nice try.
Am I wrong? Did Apple NOT refer to the 3.5" screen as "the perfect size" for one-handed operation? I'm sure I remember that sentiment being expressed on Apple's web site, but obviously I can't call it up to check it since the relevant page no longer exists.
If I'm wrong and Apple didn't say that, just call me Emily LItella.

I guess that the above is suggesting that 3.5" is the optimal size in a tug o' war of trade offs. Who knows? perhaps Apple have discovered that hands and pockets have got bigger recently.
Not sure if Apple/jobs ever used the word "perfect" or not but Apple do seem to be particularly fond of describing characteristics as being perfect which is fine until you later decide to deviate away from that "perfect" characteristic.

You'll notice they didn't change anything that conflicts with the original message.

That's true. Also if they were to make a smaller phone.

True.
But by their definition they have a sub-optimal screen size on the current phone

By "some people" you mean "Apple?" Because they are the ones that make the claim.
When did they ever make such a claim in regards to it being the only size that should ever be on phone display?

It's v5v. Ignore it.

"WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE AND PROOF?!"
Why do you think this is a valid argument?

"Michael Bay movies have more explosions than a convention of epileptic suicide bombers."
"You have not adequately quantified the number of explosions likely to occur at said convention and thus your statement is invalid."
True, but not really the point, y'know? That's all I meant.

You'll also notice that I wasn't wrong.

So you agree with me but then you ignore that and choose not to agree with me?
