Fire the jerks who thought of this
If they do this, it would not be on purpose... it would mean something had gone very wrong in the plan. (You could still fire someone over it, of course.)

Sites like MacRumors need to put this stuff through a BS test before they publish it on their site. When has Apple ever launched a flagship product in December? That makes zero sense. Just because some Far East site claims something doesn't mean the rumors sites have to publish it.

All this '5.5" coming later' talk is simply hilarious. Not being able to let go of one's self delusion is called denial. Can YOU REALLY imagine Apple releasing TWO sizes of the same phone within a few months?
Snap out of the daydream - 5.5" is imaginary.
I must admit that I am surprised to see so much skepticism for a 5.5" release. It's right up there after "Elvis is alive" and "We never went to the moon"
"Because it's not the Apple way" makes no sense to me.
Not to mention Apple 1.0 products always have a magic gottcha... Resolving those at the holiday time just winds up the trolls. Then everybody feels bad for 3 months because we had to wait for our Apple toys in one quarter and they're broken.December seems like a terrible time for an iWatch launch. Something that makes a perfect holiday gift arrives after a lot of people have already finished their shopping? Not so good. Even November is pushing it.
There will be no iWatch.Preorders for the iwatch seems like a good idea. See what the hype is like and build upon it. Guage what demand is like and build better estimates. Not like they will be hurting sales of an existing model already on the market. And not like anyone is rushing to buy the Android garbage wear either.
So you mean to tell me that they're going to get everyone to come down to San Francisco and September only to have to get another plane ticket and come right back down in October? Why don't they just released everything in October
I really hope Apple make a 4" iPhone 6 option, it's big enough for me. Nothing mentioned about it in all these rumours.
before anyone starts verbally attacking me lol - DISCLAIMER - I know everything on here is a RUMOR-
with that being said, and I know what I'm about to say has been mentioned numerous times already but it's seriously starting to have me wondering.. where's this "amazing pipeline"? showing everything in last minute sounds like an awful idea from a sourcing, production, logistics etc standpoint.
....
Announcing something to the public doesn't have to happen before the underlined occurs, in fact there have only been a handful of examples in the last few years that Apple has shown product before all the logistics and production occurs, otherwise you usually hear "available today" at the end of the keynote.

All this "Verizon version of iPhone" coming later' talk is simply hilarious. Not being able to let go of one's self delusion is called denial. Can YOU REALLY imagine Apple releasing TWO sizes of the same phone within a few months?
Snap out of the daydream - a "Verizon iPhone" is imaginary.
Confused?: Just reminding some people that Apple has done it before. iPad 3 to 4 is another example. iMacs. MacBooks. Etc. If one could see Apple objectively, they might notice that the apparent pattern with the iPhone is the oddball relative to almost everything else.
----------
"We" see patterns while Apple sees dollars and market share. "We" cling to such patterns as if they are gospel while Apple clings to profit maximization.
Consider this: if "we" are right, the brilliant Apple would be leaving the bigger-screen smart phones to the Android competitors for up to another year. Why? Because the gospel is the gospel and "thou shalt not change". On the other hand, if Apple is annoyed at the Android competitors, they could hit them where it hurts, releasing 2 models of iPhones (just like last year by the way) that basically soaks up all the "bigger screen" desires above 4" and below about 5" AND above 5" and below about 6". Bite into about ALL of that bigger-screen market or leave a big chunk to Samsung, etc??? What should a smart company do?
Which is the Apple way- leave those profits to the competitors for another year or take them?
Besides, reading the cumulative sentiment of the crowd that posts so much opinion here, "saving" the 5.5" for next year makes little sense. Apparently, the bulk of this crowd can't see it as an upgrade. If there's anything to this "holding back" conspiracy, a bigger screen size doesn't appear to be the highly desirable "could have been" to hold back.
I am.I'm willing to place a serious bet with anyone who'd like to take me up on it. My proposal is simple; I bet £4,720 that Apple will not release a 5.5" iPhone before summer/autumn next year, if at all.
I am 100% serious, so who's up for it?
but really, 2 phones, a watch, and possibly a touch and a mac? in 2-3 months? thats a lot

You're angry cause I said Apple is toying with us? WOW
The reporting here is horrible. We will have another article in 24 hours saying that the 5.5" model won't be released until 2015. And in 48 hours it's going to flop to a October release.
