The guy has a problem with font size. He's wondering if a bigger phone will solve his issue with font size. He's not asking for a bigger phone necessarily...he wants a solution to his font size issue.
Did you even read the OP?
again, how is having a tiny phone screen not the problem in this situation?

I have bad eyes and I find the text on my iPhone 5 to be very small sometimes.
oh yeah, the screen is too tiny on the 5.
who is having reading comprehension problems again?

Changing text size in Settings is not an option because I don't think all apps support dynamic text.
Why not? Almost all do. You should try that. The size of the phone increasing isn't going to help that much

I don't think it's a game changer, but as people become more concerned with security and we do more things on our phones, I'd be surprised if it didn't become standard in the next several years. Why wouldn't you do finger print access instead of passwords? It adds both security and convenience, it's pretty hard to get both of those at the same time.

Ummm yeah? Not sure what's so comical about it. You must drunk, high, trolling or some combination of all of the above.

You have to be trolling me.
You know what font size is right? The actual size of the words on your screen right?
You can make the size of those words bigger without making the screen bigger.
The guy didn't ask for a bigger screen and he certainly didn't ask for all that irrelevant shite that you posted in an attempt to pitch him an android device like some jaggoff salesman. He asked for bigger words on his screen and whether getting a bigger screen would do that.
Since we've now established that font and screen size are independent, hopefully now you understand that even if the next iPhone has a larger screen, it might still give this guy the same issues with font that he's having today, making your posts even more irrelevant.
Please tell me you understand. I don't want to believe you're an idiot.

quote:While sure, font size and screen size can change independently, they are very tightly knitted together as far as legibility and usability are concerned. What if OP needs his text so large that only three words can fit on a line on a small screen? That is not very readable, and the screen must get larger.

Understood, but the OP specifically said he didn't care about getting more information on the screen. He just wanted to be able to read the words more easily. Yet, the guy I was responding to decided it was a great derail opportunity and turned it into another Apple vs Android flamewar. It's friggin childish and that's why I first posted.
Now, maybe he is in fact legally blind and needs the letters to be an inch tall and wide. If that's the case, no phone will help him.

so you have a complete apple solution, desktop, laptop, ipad, iphone, appleTV. it makes sense in a closed system things work together well.
Yes. But it doesn't stop me from using Google services in any way.
quote:
so when you say your photos are waiting for your on your iPad, etc. do you mean because you back them up using Google+? or do you have 2 different photo backups at work here?
Two different back up systems.
First: All the pictures I take on my iPhone and iPad back-up to iCloud anyway.
Second: I have Google+ app installed on both my iPhone and iPad. That app takes all the pictures in the photo album from both devices and backs it up to Google+ Photos.
At first even I was torn about using two different cloud backups, but once I started using both, it works perfectly fine. Everything happens in the background and I don't have to do anything.
quote:
why is this the beauty of 'ios devices'? i've found sharing a photo with g+ extremely easy as well and all the person needs is essentially an email address for me to share it to. there's no reason for them to own an ios device for that.
Some Apple users don't like using Google services because they are paranoid about privacy or whatever (I personally don't care). For those people, I can share certain pictures or an album through the iOS photo stream app directly without forcing them to click a Google+ link.
For people that already use Gmail and Google+, I just give provide them a link to the pictures directly from the Google+ photo album.
The 'beauty of iOS' here is the fact that I can share with people from both ecosystems without forcing them to use a service they are not comfortable with or don't have the means to (for ex: the iCloud photo stream).
quote:
you are mixing both ecosystems here which to me seems complicated. having to learn both appleTV and chromecast quirks? iMessage and Hangouts quirks?
i guess i'm arguing against the value of apple's ecosystem. just don't see what you get with it you cant get with android and in a less restrictive/more universal format.
There is nothing to learn. You just open the apps and use it. You should try it with an open mind. It will probably make you change your mind about iOS. The fact that Google only supports one other ecosystem (namely Apple) other than its own is pretty telling. They know that iOS and Android covers a majority of the market. For people like me that use only Apple hardware and Google services, you couldn't be in a better position to take advantage of the best of both worlds.
