No denying in the larger marketshare for larger displays, that's a given. I do think I actually understood Phil Schiller when he said 'easy to make screens bigger, more difficult to make them better' and by better he obviously means the experience, not the specs of the screen.
Personally I wouldn't want a bigger screen, or bigger phone to be perfectly clear, but if their iPod history is any indication, they most certainly will. I just hope they'll retain the current FF, or even make a phone a bit smaller, like the plastic 3.5" (screen!) version. That was the 'perfect' size for me.
Look at the main 4 carriers websites. How many (and what percentage of all available android phones does this represent?) android phones are less than 4.3"? Not many.
But that is all about the "choice" android gives you.

1. It's only a limited selection of carriers.
2. It's only one country.
3. It lists the numbers of models on sale - it does not list the number sold of each model. It is possible that more of the cheaper (i.e., smaller) phones are sold even though they only make up 37% of the SKUs.
So, once again, where's the evidence to support your claims? You said that most phones being sold were over 4.5" - yet you haven't provided any evidence of that.
What we do know is that the most popular phones on the market (ilphone 5S and 5C) in the US are 4" phones.
Well, I think we are saying the same thing. There isn't that great of "choice" in the matter. Not sales, offerings.

Again, it comes down to offerings and they smaller phones make performance concessions the iPhone doesn't at the same size.
It's a chicken and the egg, and not sure it is the right question. We will see.
In any event. 11 months or less we will have a larger iPhone.
