I think the iphone 5+ is still happening, because it makes incredibly good sense for Apple. Here's why:
-Tim is no fool.
-Tim released the iPad mini, in response to consumer demand, he'll do it again with a bigger iphone.
-The Galaxy SIII has sold 30 million. It has a big screen. It is also what has apple investors running scared, as they can see viable competition in the market. The SIII is an "expensive" phone.
-Wozniak said that "Apple was arrogant" referring to the small screen size of the iphone 5.
-Tim is reactive to public criticism, he issues apologies, and back peddles on new policies. "the weight of apple is behind fixing maps."
-Tim fired forestall to insure that ios7 looks fresh, due to criticism.
-Tim want's china, and they want bigger screens.
-Tim moves quickly.
