This is stupid, apple would never release a 5.5 iPhone, they will be conservative and 4.7-4.8 MAX.

I'd consider it a failure if it lost them money, or didn't give them enough profit to think about a successor to it.

FAIL in capitals is not the same as failure, its simple a slang. No worries, no harm done.

I personally wouldn't buy 5.5" iPhone myself (especially if the resolution remains the same as smaller counterpart), but I wouldn't dismiss the validity of 5.5" iPhone market.

Although 5.5" iPhone would look ridiculous in comparison to 4.7" iPhone, many folks I know use their smartphone more as a tablet than a phone. And some folks have poor eye sight so having a larger screen makes a natural sense (larger font setting on iOS isn't the same since that comes at the expense of reduced real estate).

5.5" is a form factor that fits in a large jacket pocket or a purse and I personally would not have a problem with Apple making 4", 4.7", and 5.5" iPhone models.

My only fear is the the 5.5 will have superior specs/features.

"Consumers want something we don't have". Apple has been trying to figure out a way to get a good display into a form size that is not crazy and has great battery life. I say we put Sir Jon and the hardware guys in a room and the last one standing, wins.
