If the 5+ inch screen is to be the flagship then I hope the internal specs are the same for the 4.5+ inch screen. I want the larger screen (on iOS) but I don't want 5+ big, and I don't want to downgrade in spec because I don't what a phablet.
Developers for every other platform in existence throughout time have managed just fine. I'm sure they will be fine this time as well. They are here to develop.
I am pretty sure the bigger model gets the quad-core CPU first... If they also keep the 4'' it will stay dual core, I am sure.
OMG, no way, another complainer... like 99% of the users here who pretend they're "grown up". OMG no way.

Well, thats because imo, Android is fragmented, sloppy, etc. I never compared it to Android in my post now did I? No. Learn to read.
agreed, look how many diffent iPad screens sizes there is with the rumor of a larger one to make even more screen sizes
Should be fun to hear what the loyalist will have to say once they buy their iPhablet if the rumors turn out to be true. And all those that insisted on one handed operation, what will they do? Lastly, I'll be waiting to hear the loyalists thank Samsung for making the bigger screens such a big success and showing the market demands choice. I personally hope it's true as there is nothing wrong with Apple copying what it's biggest competitor is doing.
I don't think the 5c is going away. I think they are just saying that the C model is not gonna continue on in the next generation. Basically no 6c.
May I ask where you saw detailed iPhone sales reports to judge the success of the 5c? Apple only released the total amount of iPhones sold as a whole. I think you're making an assumption that the 5c sold "virtually" better than any Android phone.
In countries where people tend to pay phones full price (not subsidized), shaving 100-150 off the 5C current price will make it super popular as an entry level iphone, especially for young folks and teens. Maybe that's the future of the 5C project, planned all along. Actually 3GS, 4 and 4S already played this role in their late life, only difference is apple this time came up with a colorful case for old iphone 5 guts.
There is 2 iPads with different sizes and same specs! There is nothing to suggest that Apple would do it differently on the iPhones.
More than 5 inches?
With the traditional home button, which I assume will remain due to TouchID, this phone will be HUGE.
Can't really imagine an iPhone that big. I mean if it was all screen then it would be ok, but with the traditional top and bottom bezel, it seems like this thing will be huge.

When you think about the fact that every other major product with a screen that Apple sells comes in 2 sizes (2 iPads, 2 MacBookAirs, 2 MacBookPros, 2 iMacs), it's not really surprising that Apple would eventually offer 2 screen sizes for the iPhone.
That said, I will be surprised if one of the two of them isn't the current size. If you're going to make 2 sizes, there needs to be a measurable difference to make it worthwhile. The current 4" screen alongside a 4.8-5+" screen offers two very distinct options for people who clearly want two different experiences.

this shows Samsung destroyed Apple in Q3 last year, I know samasung has many models but you would think with these numbers atlest one of them out sold the the 5C
Wrong. Anything over 4" is not too big. In fact, there is no perfect size as people want different things. So why can't Apple create different screen sizes?
Blame the carriers for this. They prevent it. Overseas you have all kinds of tablets with phones capabilities.
If 5s is outselling the 5c 3:1, it's still outpacing every Android phone on the market. Doesn't take much of a stretch to see how obvious this is.
rocks for creating the idea.
