Thank god, my hands have been growing uncontrollably. It's time for a bigger phone. /s
In all honesty, I'll just try and see how it fits. My wife already complains from the 4s to the 5s that she can't reach the top left corner easily anymore. And that's where a lot of apps' back button is. On Android, with a hardware back button, it makes more sense.
I'll believe it when I see it. This would be a massive issue for app developers.

Not if the resolution is @3x (1704x960).
Absolutely all apps would keep using the same dimensions, positions and AutoLayout constraint, except with a 3x multiplier to transform points to pixels.
All developers would have to do to "optimize for iPhone 6" would be to add @3x.png assets to their project, and Xcode automatically handles the rest.
In the mean time @2x assets displayed on a @3x display would look better than @1x assets looked on the iPhone 4 display when it was released, and we'd have no letterboxing like initially with the iPhone 5.
I don't know what's the likeliness from a economical/manufacturing perspective, but from a developer's perspective that'd be the most elegant way to up the resolution without jumping to the total overkill that is @4x (2272x1280).
I'll be in line... early... that morning.
That's exactly the reason why Apple silently introduced that swipe-back-gesture some time ago. Believe me, they will certainly justify the bigger screen with software tweaks like that at the coming press event.
So just swipe back from the edge. I believe that is the biggest tip off from Apple themselves that bigger screens are coming.

Please lose the home button or change the shape of it -- whatever it takes to utilize the most real estate without making the phone unnecessarily big.
If they could the form factor anything close to the Moto X, sign me up!!!
I wonder what screen resolution we will see? 1704x960 (3x original res + widescreen)? 720p? 1080p?

The size of the Moto X in my opinion is perfect. I hope Apple releases an iPhone of that size.
