It isn\u2019t news that video viewing on mobile is exploding. But I wonder where video size and phone function begin to diverge.<\/p>\n<p>I heard a couple of teenagers talking yesterday about the iPhone 5. They were both sticking with the 4S. The reason? It\u2019s because of the screen size. The new one is too big \u2013 doesn\u2019t fit in the front pocket of their low rise jeans. That\u2019s a major problem. Everyone knows that teenagers will watch video on any and every screen size that\u2019s out there, iPhone 4S size to IMAX. So I\u2019m not worried about their screen size preference. I myself do sometimes miss the old flip phone for its convenience with making calls and talking.<\/p>\n<p>Coming in at 4.8 inches there\u2019s the Samsung Galaxy S III. The new iPhone 5 plays catch up on screen size hitting the tape at 4 inches. As sure as this generation of teenagers is taller than my own, the next Samsung Galaxy will significantly outpace the iPhone at 5 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Despite concern about the size of the iPhone 5 screen, Samsung\u2019s \u201cThe next big thing&#8230;\u201d ad campaign, and the general word on the street that the 5 lacks innovation, the 5 is shattering iPhone sales records and pushing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/technology\/la-fi-tn-apple-stock-700-20120918,0,1945337.story\">Apple\u2019s stock price to $700<\/a>.
