Also, Bob O'Donnell of TECHnalysis Research suggested Apple made the right decision to focus on delivering a larger-screened model this year economically.

'For a certain group of people, the whole thing is about the screen. It's driving the whole experience and it's what is making people excited about using the phone' Bob said.
