I'm not sure why so many people take such great delight in the failures of Apple' s competitors. Competition is good for the consumer in this case.
I hope Samsung, Microsoft, et al, all keep innovating and making great products. This will force Apple to do the same. And, perhaps lower their prices.
This is a perpetual myth. Apple beats to it's own drum. It's not the sort of company that sits back and relaxes.
World is full of schadenfreude , but yes I agree original poster doesn't understand apple. I personally want apple to keep its prices and thus margins high. I never buy the cheapest widget unless it's a commodity like toothpaste or washing powder. I choose to buy the premium product because I know it will save me money in the long run. I own a 15 year old BMW and it has saved me $ compared with buying say a ford. Same is true of apple . I don't agree with being superior though and it's not apple itself that does that it simply tries to make the best Device it can and won't compromise that just to make it cheaper and the competition is being killed by this strategy. And it's driving them nuts . Long may it continue
What part of 'bigger' didn't you understand? The ones Steve Jobs said no one would buy.
Steve job said what was relevant at the time. Technology evolved. You can't apply what a person said 7 years ago to today standards...It's like 64kb RAM on PC comment by Bill Gate.

Did our hands grow to increase the standard? Taste changed not standards.

Actually what changed was Apple's ability to source 75 million Low Temperature Poly Silicon screens per quarter, 25 million or so at a novel pixel density of 401 ppi. As the shortages have shown, this was barely possible even in recent months. We can only imagine how they had to lean on display suppliers to expand their capacity, but we did have some supply-chain reporting 2 years ago that Apple was using up 3/4 of the world's production of LTPS displays while straining to fill 5 and 5S demand.
I think Steve Jobs was tweaking your beard in the future when he gave the best rationale for being content with the 4-inch screen. He had already, i have no doubt, given the go-ahead to design a case and edge treatment that would make it easier to handle larger screens. But the product would have to wait for better processors to drive the greater resolutions and still allow the batteries to shrink. And they had to wait for display makers to ramp up LTPS production in any case.

I'd have more money than God if I had a dollar for every "I think Steve Jobs...." I've heard. The truth is nobody knew what SJ was thinking except for him.
Using that logic a phone with the dimensions of a sheet of paper would do great, because it's smaller and lighter.
1) Only if you ignore everything logical about the design.
2) If you honestly believe that Steve Jobs literally meant the original iPhone was the perfect size then why would the size have changed under Steve Jobs?

That's actually more normal than you think.

So many syllables - that will confuse em over in fandroid land????
So why did they make iPhones with bigger screens?
Because they innovated and brought big screens first to the market

The iPad what part of bigger don't you understand
That's not a mobile phone.
Does TEZEN have an eco system? Maps, Search, docs, photo sharing a cloud and so on?
That's not a mobile phone.
The first iPhone was the largest screen smartphone at the time. Stop arguing. Everyone else just followed Apple to make large screen phone.

Yes the screen was large but its footprint was comparable to every other smartphone that was available at the time.
Technology changed to allow a larger display to be in a smaller and lighter device.

2) That's not what I was referring to?
