You just need to not be a woman or man under 6’ or anyone who doesn’t like carpenter clothing.
Pretty clear you’ve not put a 6” screen device in your pocket, nor have “those of us” otherwise.
By most measures I'm a very small person, around 5'5". I can fit the large phones in my suit pockets just fine. Skinny jeans might be an issue, I'll give you that, but I don't wear jeans often. In any case, that's a choice for me to make; it certainly doesn't make the phone unusable.
A phone is not unusable if it's hard to use with one hand.
Mmm... yeah, that’s sort of the point I’m making, though, given that all phones before Android have been usable with one hand.
Saying it doesn't fit into trouser pockets would also be a lie.
Yep, because “if it fits into one pair of pants, then it fits into all pants, ever”¡

I wonder where I was talking about your personal pants...
So “one-handed” is not an “earthly” way, huh. I guess the last 140 years of telephony have been out of this world! I guess you people want it to come crashing down to Earth, huh.
Two handed operation seems like the norm in telephony.
No one has any clue what point you're trying to make any more.

Why is it unusable?
If you're not talking about Lorin and I, the "fits in my pockets fine" claim, >5" screen phones, and one-handed use.... well I have no idea what you're talking about. You've flip flopped all over the place.

’Sup, no one.

Reading the posts I write tends to help with comprehension of them.

Wouldn’t I not be complaining about pocket size if I was a marsupial?
Sorry, was that how it came across? I apologize. I was going for "derisive sarcasm" with the intention being to mock your ridiculous assertion that anyone who disagrees with you must be ignorant (a la "Pretty clear you’ve not put a 6” screen device in your pocket"). I'm thumbing my nose at your arrogance.
Or "Hey, I'm not going to buy a new iPhone until I can try fitting both sizes in my pocket, and then make a decision."
?The pocket size issue will be a deal-breaker for many.
I'm going to pre-order the 4.7" iPhone "6" for exactly that reason.
(If the rumors of a 4.7" screen are true.)
I already thought about this. I borrowed a friend's 6" LG Flex for a few minutes and put it in my pocket, walking around and sitting in my car. For me, the size won't be an issue.
(that's funny) Just goes to show where my head's at:
Never even occurred to me that anybody could just walk into a Bestbuy, or somewhere, and pick up any "iPhone-like" unit in roughly those sizes, and get a good enough feel for what sized device they would like for their next iPhone.
Maybe I should do that. (though I feel quite certain I'll be a 4.7)
Not as simple as that. Two phones of identical weight, shape and thickness can still feel different in the hand and the pocket.

I guess the difference you've excluded is the exterior material, which might feel different in the hand, but I can't see how it'd feel appreciably different in the pocket, certainly not to the degree that any reasonable person would care.

Fair point, though again, once it's in your pocket I don't think it matters all that much. Also, do phones really vary all that much in weight distribution? Most of them that I've come across seem pretty uniform.

Never said it was.

Thanks for the pedantry.

If you say that something is "unusable" when you mean "unusable with one hand" then that's exactly what you're implying.
If an object is unusable in the manner in which all other instances of said object are usable, then it’s unusable.
But at no point did I say that one-handed use is the only use of smartphones.
Well if one handed use is not the only use of smartphones, then how is the supposed 4.7 or 5.5 or whatever larger size Phone going to be unusable?
What on earth are you talking about?

Decent cherrypicking, but if I was trying to make that point, I wouldn’t have chosen images in which the user shows a lack of comprehension.

I'm happy with that.
Now excuse me, I have to go and throw some poo.

<*Sigh.*> Keep up. YOU are skinny jeans. Crowley and I are the marsupials.
I'm not sure I understand how wanting a big phone makes me a kangaroo (I'd have gone with some form of ape, myself), but that's beside the point.
I actually prefer the ‘Edward Fingerhands’ bit. Sounds terrifying.

Oh... pocket. Duh. Sometimes I'm so stupid that even I'm amazed I've lived this long.

I'm sure you meant to say Yep, as TS is obviously right.

Or did you mean something else that I've missed?
Weight distribution.
