Apple's Larger iPhone Design Said to Be Inspired by iPhone 5c and iPod Nano

Not always, but the fact that some people do shows not everybody cares about the phone's casing. I personally despise any plastic case added to any of my electronics.
Basically it's going to be a downsized version of the current-gen iPads; because that's exactly what they look like.
cannot agree more with this. I really would like the 5s to be the same as the 5c is terms of body, but also keep the specs of the 5s.
I hope they make a "C" version of the 6 that is not short-sided in terms of specs.
For me the best design was the first iPhone. If they could make it bezel free on iPhone 1 and larger screen would be perfect.
Ditto, but even though it has been documented and in the news a lot there are still people that cant get past the 5C not being a great seller.......It's a little buyers remorse sprinkled with a touch of denial
Would love an iPhone inspired by the iPad Air and retina Mini design....
But for the love of God....please, please, PLEASE - no protruding camera. It is the absolute WORST design decision they could make.....
I use both the 5C and 5S daily - and I really dig the 5C's curves. Give it to me in metal and at 7.5 mm thin and I'll be all over it.
Also, for those who thumb their nose up at the 5C - it may not have sold as well by Apple's standards, but I've started to see a lot more 5Cs in the wild than 5Ss....actually was somewhat surprised by all the 5Cs I see.

Cue the posts about how they don't want larger phones...
In reality apple need to make the best phone and i'm sorry but there are definitely two phones out there at least that people want.
The larger two handed, very comfortable to use for large hands 5inch plus iPhone
And the smaller 4 plus inch iPhone for one handed use, small pockets etc.
This is apple making the best products not following android in any way.
Steve had some odd presumptions often he changed his mind and was a bit of a goof on this stuff, a lot of the bad designs in the software came from his head. Ive is the real hardware powerhouse and you can see him saying yes to larger phones for sure!
I hope that the larger iPhone does come in a metal case of some kind with a design that allows for a reduced chin and forehead and maybe even remove that home key or place it at another location or require a swipe. Although the key press is satisfying and well placed the desire to push forward with better design must make Ive question it's place and function when a larger screen could really move forward the design.
I don't see a touch ID in the screen being possible but something has to be done about the quantity of space just hanging out on the 16:9 screen, it was fine with the 3:2 but it's gotta go somewhere next.

I always hear the 5c does not sell well, but I have never seen numbers to support this. IRL, I see way more 5C's than 5S', so I just cannot accept this is true.
I like the idea of the 5c's curves in metal with a bigger screen. I wonder how they will get the cell signal out.
The Note feels very high end though, it has a metal bezel along with some kind of rubberized back like the Nexus 7. Compared to a GS3 it feels much better constructed.
While I still think that the iPhone 4 / iPhone 5 design is superior, one have to admit that they aren't particularly nice to hold in your hands. I mean, the rigid build quality is superb, of course (that is what made the iPhone 4 almost unbelievable compared to every other handset at that time)... but the iPhone 5 is so thin that it's simply hard to pick up from a flat surface. Suspecting that that the next iPhone will be even thinner, I don't think Apple will maintain the angular design, they are likely to build something that's much more rounded. I'm curious.
