Smartphones with 5.5-inch and 6-inch display has now become common, and thus to keep up with the competition Apple must adopt the large display concept on its iPhone series of phones. Apple was stuck to its philosophy of one hand usage and stayed away from making bigger phones, last year however Apple moved one step ahead and increased the display size from 3.5-inches to 4-inches. With that 4-inch display on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c, Apple increased the length of the display and maintained the same breadth of the phone. But now its time Apple make some software innovation to serve single hand usage and increase the display size to
