Let me ask you this, where is the choice for those people who liked their 3.5" screens. People keep spewing the word "choice" when really with Apple their never is any. You take what you can get, and since it's basically the only real alternative to Android, you're stuck with a "choice" between phones you'd prefer had been smaller.
Got a tip for us?

Get over it. I'm fed up with people complaining.
If you don't like it, don't get it, simple.
I'll be enjoying my iPhone 6 while you'll still have your iPhone 5s.
I'm not sure about you, but I tend to look at the FRONT of a phone and not the BACK.
----------
Yes, thanks you. I just said something similar.
You don't look at the back of a phone do you, the screens tends to be on the fronts does it not?
The 4 was great I agree. I think the 5 looks really nice too. But what's most important is what you brought up about the curved sides. That's a huge improvement for me. I hate the sharp edges that started with the 4. Hurts my fingers (laugh all you want people) but it's really not comfortable at all to me. I can't wait for the rounded edges. Nice and soft and smooth edges on my fingers.
I actually agree. People can complain about the design of the 5C all they want - it feels great in the hand!
Somehow I feel like I've been here before.
Remember my words. You will not only buy it, you will also love its design
I've said before if the final product looks exactly like the leaks we've seen I will sell my Apple stock. But I'm confident I won't be doing that as the final, refined product with the proper fit and finish will look much better than any leak we've seen. That's how it was with iPhone 5. None of the leaked photos looked as good as the final product Apple released.

Digging this design a lot more than what we have seen so far.

Apple produces products for the largest market segments, because that's where you can achieve economies of scale and make real profits.
Producing a phone for the tiny and shrinking segment that would prefer a 3,5" screen would be unprofitable. Any Apple shareholder would be against it.
Extending Camera Lens?
Does anybody else think that perhaps the camera lens extends like the lens of a point-and-click camera does when you turn it on?
These renders from China Telecom (via 9to5mac.com) seem to show it flush with the surface:

Me too.... I like what I see in that image a lot. If that is real, then that is a HUGE leak.
Pull up the thread here when Engadget leaked photos of the 4. Lots of negative comments similar to what we're seeing now.
How can people defend a bad design just by saying that they only look at the Front panel and not the back??
C'mon people, one of the reason we buy Apple products is because of their design, not just the functionality, that's how they get away with charging twice the price of the competition.

Back in June there was a rumor that those antenna breaks would not be part of the final design; that the back of the phone may look more like the 5/5s. Of course the usual suspects (like Martin Hajek) then created renders based on this rumor. My guess is China Telecom is using some of those renders.

I am reasonably sure that there is a significantly larger marget for 3.5" phones than for 5.5" phones.
Everytime someone says this, I cringe.
As if apple is developing their new product right now and everytime they finish a concept of feature, they have this shareholder looking over their shoulder, approving and disproving anything they do. Stop using this so loosely, it's far less of a factor than people make it out to be.
Interesting ... It appears, according to a number of comments here, that some people don't approve of the band on the back of the apparent iPhone 6. Since I use a protective case on my phones I care little about this. I'm more interested in the internal hardware, screen resolution, and the OS. Aesthetics has always been a secondary issue for me. I'm using iOS 8 and Yosemite ATM and I greatly approve
I don't know about anyone else, but i'm really looking forward to this. If there are 2 iPhones (4.7" and 5.5") then it's a good thing, more choice for everyone. Not everyone is going to want a 5.5" but the option is there.
Also a 128GB model makes sense for the 5.5" and if indeed there is a protruding camera, it could be for a reason, they are making the camera better? i could live with a protruding camera if it means a better camera in some way.
Only a couple of weeks left and we will find out

Out of curiosity, do you also open the phone and look inside to judge the quality of the design?
Who is "we"? My house is full of Apple products, and I haven't bought a single one of them for the design. In fact, my Mac Mini is completely hidden behind my somewhat ugly Samsung monitor.
Actually, I pay the "Apple premium" for build quality, good support and most of all for ease of use.
Not if you want to price them at premium, which is the market segment Apple cares about.
Interesting. I really like ours (shared amongst the family). It's a really nice design in my opinion.
I like the slightly rounded back/edge (similar to the first iPhone or the 5c) - it fits nicely into the palm. Its dimensions + weight mean it's barely noticeable in the pocket. And I like the anodized aluminium finish - feels like a MacBook.
Somehow I feel like I've been here before.
Remember my words. You will not only buy it, you will also love its design
well,with the 5c..people didn't love the design..and didn't buy it (as much as Apple was expecting)..so..you are wrong.if the design sucks,less people will buy it,whether it's by Apple or not.specially in a market that competition is getting tighter and tighter.
I never found any past gen iPhone leaks ugly (with exception of 5c).
But this..takes ugliness to a whole new level.
