We're now a month in. For those that have been using an iPhone 5, how does it feel? Stretched? Weird? Odd in any way?
I can't even look at pictures of previous generations without feeling extremely claustrophobic now. It's amazing what half an inch and a change in aspect ratio can do. It's a little tight in landscape, but the full-screen option in Safari (and numerous third party browsers) alleviates that to a useable degree. Videos, of course, are much more enjoyable to watch. And streaming video links load so fast now, I'm not so hesitant to bother clicking them anymore. It's amazing what a difference a couple seconds makes...
Overall, it feels as natural to me as an iPhone has ever felt. I think the platform in general has finally hit its stride. I'm very happy with the screen decision Apple made with this generation.
