Metriacanthosaurus said: The only thing I don't understand is why the iPhone x is said to feature a 5..1 - 5.2" screen? Is this Apple's conclusion after running with 4.7 and 5.5 for 3 years? That there is a sweet spot around 5.1 - 5.2? Well I…

I don't think something like that would be improbable?I definitely believe iOS will scale up to larger devices in the future. I agree with a "PadBook" being smaller than a MacBook (even if it's just thinner). Without the comparatively high syste…
