People with iPhones go on about how small screens are great. One of my friends purchased an iPhone 4S outright for close to $1000 and claimed that he didn't mind getting a phone with a small display because it fits well in his hands. He claimed that the 4S's 3.5 inch display is the perfect size and that high-end Android phones all had large screens that don't fit in your pocket. Android phones with small screens were not "high-end" enough for him like the iPhone was.
First of all, not all Android phones have large screens. The Samsung Galaxy Ace has a 3.5 inch screen, just like the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. Furthermore, who said the iPhone was ever a high-end phone? The iPhone 4 has a 800Mhz single-core processor with 0.5GB RAM, and the Galaxy Ace has those exact hardware specifications but comes at half the price. The iPhone 4S has a dual-core 800Mhz processor with 0.5GB RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 also has those same hardware specs (but with slightly more RAM at 0.7GB) yet is around half the price of the Apple.
But then lo-and-behold, the iPhone 5 with 4 inch display comes out and all of a sudden my friend gets one and contradicts himself when he says that now he believes that 4 inch is the perfect size. It seems like he is just buying first and rationalising his purchase later.
