背景介紹：
蘋果終於推出兩款4.7吋及5.5吋螢幕的手機。大家一定也發現，手機尺寸越來越大，似乎成了廠商的標準之一。(猷記小編2年前買的Sony Erisson的小巧螢幕當時還正流行呢)。不過，認真推敲起來，當初把螢幕搞大的不是蘋果，而是三星。
u 新聞報導：
Nowthat Apple has finally taken the wraps offthe iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple fans are goingcrazy with anticipation over the largest iPhones ever released,something needs to be said. And that something is, “Thank you, Samsung.”
終於等到蘋果推出兩款名為 iPhone 6及iPhone 6 Plus的新手機，其中iPhone 6 Plus螢幕為5.5吋，屬於平板手機(Phablet)一員，當初就是三星起的頭。
Backwhen the first Galaxy Note dropped back in early 2012, it drew a lot of jeersfrom Apple fans for being far too big to fit properly in your hand.
時間回到2012年，當時三星推出大螢幕的Galaxy Note，還一度被蘋果迷嘲笑那大到誇張的螢幕是要當鏡子嗎？！(事後證明三星才是有遠見的)。
Andlet’s not forget an ad that Apple put out for the iPhone 5 that showedoff how beautifully the device fit the contours of the human hand.
相對蘋果當年推出iPhone 5時，強調手機要一手掌握才是好。
Noneof this means Apple is “doomed” or that it’s lost its innovative edge oranything of the sort, of course. It’s just that in this one instance, Samsunggot something right and forced Apple to follow along.
當然，螢幕大小並不代表誰贏誰輸，畢竟日後比功能比系統甚至促銷，誰是市場老大還是得看銷售量才是王道。光螢幕越做越大這點，證明三星比蘋果只是有遠見罷了。
