And so they start; already. My 4S is barely 6 mos old. Time to start planning for the 5.

Next iPhone Coming Fall 2012 with LTE, 3.5-Inch Screen

Sometimes I wonder if these rumors have one shred of backing, more than someone saying "oh maybe it's going to be ..." I think I'll report this as a possible new iPhone.
Really? Adding 0.5" diagonal is going to force you to use two hands? And wanting something a touch bigger automatically indicates a McDonalds mentality?
What a lot of people are expressing here is that 4" would be a good size for them. Some, like you, think 3.5" to be ideal. Neither opinion is more or less valid than the other.
LTE might be the most overhyped on the internet, and least known about in the real world technology that we've seen in a long time hehe. I remember how before the 4S, everyone was saying it wouldn't sell because LTE was the future. No one knows, or cares about LTE except people on forums hehe, a very small subset of total users.
Yep. 3.5 inch screen is an upgrade killer. The world's moved on for me in terms of how I use this device. As much as I've loved all my iPhones, I simply do more book reading and video watching than ever and the screen needs to grow for me to continue this love affair.
Yep, on that basis, I'll stick with my 4S....Paying out more money for LTE and 4G which probably won't work anyway would be crazy...However, Its just a Rumour! I personally think Apple will miss a trick if they don't enlarge the screen.
I'll keep mine too. Unless the design changes and comes out with a bigger screen i don't see a reason to dump my iphone 4 and buy the new one.
The iphone 4 screen is as good as it get's (retina), it's plenty fast to run every app and game, 4G LTE is not ready in my country yet... etc

I say it will be:
4" screen
LTE
Glass inside the bezel
New battery technology
NFC
smaller dock connector

Deserves... Yes, let's give a handout to a poorly run company that chooses to not jump on that train and offer one of the world's most popular phones.
Unfortunately for T-Mobile users, T-Mobile is too cheap to make a contract and commit to Apple's terms.
Part of the reason they are dying, they have no good base anymore because their infrastructure isn't getting updated like it needs to be.
Nooooooo...I would really love to see a retina 4" or 4.7" screen (as per the previous rumors).
I know the 4.7" is an unrealistic dream but I really want it. They need something to counter the Android onslaught and that might be it. Unless Apple is taking the stand that the big screen craze is a fad and that might or might not be true.
I honestly don't have complaints about my iPhone 4's screen but I want some iOS bragging rights for my Galaxy Note toting boss.

I know this is just a rumor still, but really that is all it is going to be new on the iPhone? I am pretty sure I am going to get negatives here but I would have expected something new from Apple, this sounds like more of a iPhone 4S.2. Also what is going on with iPod Touch updates? Seems iPod Touch is no more, I don't think everyone can afford the ridiculous data plans. What needs to be improved are DATA PLANS we are getting into 2013 and still no unlimited data plan and all this limitation is the reason I am still holding back getting any sort of Smart Phones. Rather moving ahead in technology the cell phone providers are holding most of us back.
Maybe they will have two models out one with a larger screen. If not, I may have to go for one of these. I'm sick of the puny iphone screen after 5 years.

If the next iPhone is just the same thing as the iPhone 4/4s but with LTE I will definitely switch to the Samsung Galaxy S3. I am so bored with my iPhone 4 and sick of such a small screen.
#1 it's a rumor. #2 nothing in this rumor to indicate this is all the new iPhone is going to be.

No, it's a real article. It may have false, mistaken, or unreliable information in it, but it is defiantly a real article.

Exactly, the people claiming 3.5" is perfect are in the MINORITY. The phone doesn't need to get bigger, the screen does though.
I dunno what you mean by easy on a front jeans pocket. My iPhone 4S feels the same in my pocket as my HTC Thunderbolt does. Perhaps you should buy some Lee jeans next time you go to J.C Penny
