I really don't consider this a compromise; everyone else is pointlessly making screens larger in both directions that can't be used comfortably with one hand. The marketers just want to have that 4"+ screen on the feature list. Making the screen taller but keeping the same width was the best way of increasing the size but still keeping it usable.

- evoxed 14y agoI just want to be able to read more text at a time... seems like every time I open an email or webpage, at any comfortable size I get less text than I can read in a few blinks. I won't know until it's in my hand, but the extra height and fullscreen Safari sound pretty great to me (also, more room for my hands to make those damn pinching motions– the tall and large communities will appreciate it).
