Apple

[Grieve]

The key with the bigger phone size is that apple was actively denigrating the idea while they were being surpassed by other phone manufacturers in a field that there was obviously a demand for (usefully sized phones).

You mean Steve Jobs denigrated it, and in case you hadn't noticed, he hasn't denigrated anything recently seeing how he's been dead for over 2 years.

Even then, his point was that people wanted phones they could comfortably use in one hand, which is still the case for many people. Which is why I'm sure they'll keep the iPhone 5 form factor around too. I'm sure the Chinese will lap up its big brother, though.
