The iphone on the other hand can go in my back pocket and it's small enough to move to the outside so I'm not actually sitting on it.

Believe it or not, this size thing is the reason I've held onto my razor phone for so long. LOL. But the smart phones are bigger period, and that's that. So we'll see what the i6 looks like and go from there.

I think that is a fair one, if one carries the phone in one's back pocket there is no way to get around the size, although, like Wesley I am convinced that once you use the phone the size will diminish in the hand as you get used to it, however, it won't get smaller in your jeans pocket, there's just no way around that. If Apple keep the fingerprint sensor on the home button their 4.7" phone will be as big as the SGS5 so you may have to stay with your 5S until you find a smaller replacement.
