No, but enjoy.

Somehow I doubt that you can refute the statement that Apple wouldn't have made phones this large had Android not done it, too.

Haha, yeah. The funny part is that we could find like dozens of even more arrogant, epic quotes from this guy claiming how dumb it would be for Apple to make big screen iPhones (and smaller screen iPads before the Mini came out). It's been pretty obvious for the past couple years that bigger screen iPhones would be a flat-out success.

Just about any sized iPhone would've been a flat-out success. Do you think that sales would've been less had they not gone bigger?
There is no 4 inch phone made by Android that will attract former iPhone owners.
I would not mind seeing a 4 inch iPhone6. But I don't think there is enough demand to justify the cost of running a whole manufactering line for a 3rd phone. Also I don't think it is possible to make an iPhone6 with the similar slim design and have a decent battery life.
What demand was there for a big phone? All sales reports showed that the smaller form factor was the most popular in the world. No Samsung Note was ever in the top 3 in sales.

Were the Galaxy S4 and S5 good sellers? 5"+ is a big phone.

LOL duh. Whoever said sales for a smaller screen iPhone would not be a success? Certainly not me. The point is bigger screen iPhones are FAR from being a bad move, as some here have insisted.

The smaller screen phone was already a success, so any claim to the contrary would be ignoring facts. Btw you didn't answer my question.

Haha do I have to spell everything out for you? Of course a small iPhone would be successful. The success of the 5 and 5s during a time when Android phones were much bigger makes that obvious. How much of a success would a small new iPhone be compared to these bigger 6 and 6 Plus phones? Who knows? Like I said, I never claimed otherwise. However, some here have said Apple would never make big screen iPhones and that it would be a terrible idea for them to do so. Obviously, that belief was dead wrong. Lol that easy enough for you to unnastan?

Including Steve Jobs. Many also said that making a plastic iPhone was a mistake, and a year later it seems like they were right even though it sold much better than the competition.
The trolls are rocking back and forth, clutching a green Android plushie, chanting: [I]"bendgate will save us, bendgate will save us, bendgate will save us..."[/I]
The sales numbers would have been the same even if the iPhone 6 was the same size as the 5s. This was just Apples way of killing the last little niche that Samsung had. Samsung's last play was to make a phone that looked like it was solid metal.
Like I and many others predicted, Samsung is going to have a TERRIBLE end to this year. The only advantage they had over Apple was building a large phone for people who value screen size above all else. Now that advantage has been wiped out.
The 128GB 6 Plus is yet to make an official appearance in India (it is available on Ebay but I wouldn't risk buying one from sellers who do not take returns).
I am on the shortlist when Apple decides to ship some over here. It's a bitch, waiting for them. I'm on a totally different planet!
Even Apple knows the iPad Mini is dying. That's why they gave it a weak refresh.
People need to understand that Apple does a TON of research. They probably knew months ago that the iPad Mini would get canibalized when the PLUS is released.
Being canabalized by a more expensive device with higher margins is not exactly a bad thing.

Around about the time that Samsung thanks Apple for 'paving the way' by making the modern smartphone in 2007.

Depends on who you ask. Some say yes, some say no, and others say yes, or no depending on convenience.

So when does T Cook thank Samsung and the Galaxy for paving the way?
When Samsung thanks Apple for paving their way (to rip off the iPhone)...

Wow that jumped: it was 3-4 weeks a couple days back.
Think: it's now on sale in China.

Samsung execs must be overdosing on Tums right about now.
Or climbing out of the windows and jumping.
Or taking an overdose of Oxycontin.

I wonder how this will affect HTC or LG?
