In some ways that’s a little surprising because, back in 2010, Jobs famously criticized large phones. He didn’t think anybody would ever want to carry a big phone, going as far as saying that “no one’s going to buy” one. The market has since proved him wrong and, if we’re to believeBloomberg’s reporting, clearly Jobs had changed his mind before his death in October last year.

With so many reports floating around about Apple’s shift to a four-inch screen, it’s beginning to seem inevitable. If you’re a small-screen fan, now might be a good time to brace yourself. [Bloomberg via The Verge]

I’ve got to say I find this interesting to read now, even after the hype of the last couple of days, where everyone says they are expecting a new 4″ screen. The reason I am still a bit skeptical is that Jobs himself said that a phone screen should be the size that you could hold in one hand and use your thumb to navigate the whole screen. Maybe they (Apple) will say Jobs had agreed to this to help make us feel that it is therefore OK that the screen is being enlarged, but we shall see soon enough.
