What UI design patterns will emerge due to the iPhone 5’s larger screen?

Anonymous

"Simply increasing the content height" is exactly why the display is larger. The iPhone 5 is better for reading and writing than any previous iPhone.

Here are some examples:
  • When writing, I can see a whole paragraph instead of sentences
  • When searching w/ the keyboard visible, I can see 5.5 results instead of 3.5
  • I can see 6 emails in my inbox instead of 4
  • I can see 6 tweets at a time instead of 4
  • I can read a whole additional paragraph in an email without having to scroll

If there's one thing that I hope designers and developers take away from the increased display size, it's that content is everything and the UI should do an even better job of getting out of the way.
