Well this might be the year I switch from iOS... I really don't want a larger phone. IMO if you are spending enough time on your phone that you need a bigger screen you should be using a tablet.
In another way I wouldn't mind if they had different screen sizes, but what will bother me the most is probably the smallest screen size is going to be considered the cheaper version and not get the newest processor maybe even touch ID etc etc. to each their own I guess

I don't mind if Apple giving us the choice of sizes of phone, as long as there isn't a must have feature that's only available on the biggest one. I like the size of my 5 and hope my next phone won't be any larger.
I don't think there will be a problem to the current app ecosystem if they make a bigger iPhone. They can easily scale up current applications to fit a bigger screen with a bigger resolution until developers readjust their apps.
I personally would like a larger screen, but it's understandable people like the current size.
Best thing would be to offer different sizes.

I hope... The idea of having an iPad that big is comical to me. Sure you would be more productive with more real estate and people would have an option but a 13 inch ipad defeats one main reason to get an ipad .... Portability
oh boo hoo, so you'll need to sit a couple of more hours to make your apps fit bigger screen.
It's like a bus driver would be pissed off because he has to make a little longer detour once in 2 years on his daily route.
Agreed; I shouldn't be "penalised" in processor grunt just because I prefer a smaller screen.
so long as .....
This. I don't want to be shoe-horned into buying a larger watch because the smaller version is too effeminate. Although I believe that is unlikely, 'cause
Nope, MR is just letting you know the latest news and rumors. Not sure MR cares what you believe, or how accurate these guesses and "supply chain reports" are. Page hits, its all page hits.
There's a lot more to an iPad than portability. Instantly on... touchscreen... battery life... Apple ecosystem.
My iPad only ever sees use in my kitchen or my living room - and is always supported by a stand/cushion/whatever. I'd love a slightly bigger version as i watch a lot of TV/sport/video on mine.
Apple should just add phone hardware to the iPad mini. I mean if people want a ridiculously large phone, then give them a really ridiculously large phone!
(Actually, it would be a welcome addition. If I really need to make a phone call, and I have the choice between looking like an idiot making a phone call with the iPad, or not making an important call, then I'd rather have that choice).
If the iphone 6 is 5.5" that's enough to get me back to using an apple smartphone after switching away since the iphone 4. If that 6.2" screen is actually true, even more so! Insta buy! But for some reason I feel like they'll disappoint and bump it up to 4.5, or 5" max. Oh well.
All of you "anti larger screen" people need to realise that if you want a battery that actually lasts you more than half a day, something has to give and in this case it's going to be a larger screen to fit a larger battery. My LG G2 is amazing with battery life simply because they could cram a much larger battery in it than the iPhone can. I'm one of the many people eagerly waiting to switch to an iPhone as soon as they release a screen size that isn't designed for small children.
Totally agree.
12" tablets are just too big, and completely awkward to hold.
The only usable device here is the 4.7" iPhone, which would be in addition to their 4" iPhone.
An iWatch is a complete joke. Absolutely no one is interested in a watch. Watches are jewelry, and the only thing that matters about watches is how good they look when you dress, or how expensive they are (the more expensive the better), and not what they do. And Apple isn't in the jewelry business.
The worst people in the world are adults that think of watches are tech devices. These people are horrible people, and need to get a life.
