The following was what Google presented at their IO conference.

Odd that you don't mention a thing about all the iPhone 6 rumors

concerning a larger size form. Larger, as in what Samsung and other

Android phones have had for years.

I'll bet that if iPhone 6 comes in a 5" form you fanbois will go ga-ga

over this Apple innovation.

Nashton
Not really unless they do it better but there is no innovation to make a

screen bigger, it was never innovation by anyone.

Alan Baker
You moronic clod.

A bigger screen means engineering optimizations, such as balancing

battery life and size of screen, durability of materials and not to

mention that Samsung has been trouncing Apple in resolution and screen

quality for along time now.

Innovation? You bet.

Apple Fan Not
There's no innovation to the END USER, you twit, and a larger screen

means a larger case in which one can put a larger battery.

Alan Baker
Not necessarily an advantage if the larger screen pulls more power. And, the screen size is not the only piece of geometry that determines battery size. Try thickness too.

All true, but...

In general, a screen's consumption will go up in proportion to its area,

Puffin Killer
Sounds reasonable Cite?

Alan Baker
and then the larger you make the device, the greater its battery life will be overall

Puffin Killer
Are you claiming the same size battery will last longer with a larger screen?

I quote you: "if you hold the other components constant (CPU, etc),"

Alan Baker
(imagine a phone with the same electronics except for a 3' diagonal screen).

Puffin Killer
So why aren't TV's made that way.

I ask these questions because I'm not an electronics expert, but today you are.
