From this article: iDownloadBlog
"What we've said is that until the technology is ready, we don't want to cross that line. That doesn't say we'll never do it. We want to give our customers what's right in all respects, not just the size but in the resolution, in the clarity, in the contrast, in the reliability. There are many different parameters to measure a display and we care about all those, because we know that's the window to the software."
From this article: 9 to 5 Mac
On bigger iPhones, Cook did not dismiss the idea. As before, Cook says that all aspects of smartphone screens need to be considered, not just the physical size. Regarding Apple's product pipeline in 2014, Cook said that new products are under development, but stressed that they have not hit the "ceiling" on their current products yet either. Clearly, Cook wants to set expectations that he does not see Apple at the end of the road for the current products. He said Apple can grow with "great improvements and new products on its existing category of products".
So, from what I can gather from Tim Cook himself, we won't be seeing larger screens on iPhones this year. And possible not next year either. I have to hand it to him, he stays positive and explains things rather than just saying "no".
