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.

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

screen bigger, it was never innovation by anyone.

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.

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.

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,

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

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