5.5-inch iPhone 6 Mockup Compared to iPhone 5s in New Photos

Compare the original article: Something's wrong here

Compare the original news article of Macrumors:

https://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/28/drawings-iphone-6c/

"Long-running Japanese magazine MacFan has published alleged drawings of what appear to be 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch iPhone 6c models in its latest issue, reports Mac Otakara ..."

So basically NOTHING has been added for "information" since then, and the original claim was that the design drawings were for a 5.7-inch iPhone 6c?!

This is rapidly approaching the level of asking the subjects of a king, who have never seen this king, their opinion of the size of the king's nose, and then using the average of their estimates to assert that is the actual length of the king's nose.
 
That thing looks obnoxious.

4.7 and 5.5 are neat if you want a "Mini iPad Mini"...but I personally want a new "iPhone."
 
I don't think so

I'm sure if I were one of those people that carried around a man-purse (or a purse purse if I were not a man), I'd like the bigger phone for some things. But since it has to actually go in my pocket, I'll stick with whatever size the smaller one turns out to be. This just seems to huge to be comfortable in a normal jeans pocket.
 
How many times do we need to see a different color mock up? We get it. The new iPhone is going to be bigger than the current iPhone. Lord.
 
everyone...

please. stop. whining.

The power is YOURS to not read an article or two. Besides... it's really not as bad as you all make it sound. Out of 20 current front page articles, 4 are related to next gen dimensions/mockups. You make it seem like MacRumors is publishing 75% mockups, not 20%.

The problem is that this will physically be WAY bigger than the Note 3 I am sure simply because they seem to not want to decrease the vertical height by reducing the bezel size. The note 2 barely fit in my pocket due to its height I am sure this will be even worse (without having actually looked to compare the dimensions so forgive me if I am incorrect)

This just in: Apple has spent $N-billion to buy Levi's in order to truly control the entire eco-system. Jony Ive leading research into denim pocket chamfer edge potentialities.

Even 20% is too much. Especially when a lot of these are 3D mockups of a rumored schematic. That's scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
 
Thank you :apple:...5.5 it's just perfect with out any doubt :D

Remember when the iPhone 5 came out and suddenly the iPhone 4/4s felt like a really heavy brick? I have a feeling the iPhone 6 is gonna make the iPhone 5/5s feel like that too!

Can anyone tell me what phones currently on the market are the same size as that 5.5 mockup? I want to see one in person so I can really determine the size.

Go to just about any store selling phones that is not an Apple store and you can see every size up to 6"+ phones. I was just in Walmart a few minutes ago and they have 5.5" and 4.7" screen Samsungs plus 6" screens too on display right next to phones only a little bigger or smaller than the 5s.

All this whining based on pictures cracks me up. The difference in (live, in the hand) size from 4" screen to even 6" screen is not that great. Yes, a bigger-screened phone is going to be bigger than a smaller-screened phone, but the difference in the extremes is measured in a few centimeters.

As someone has posted again, wrap a current iPhone in an Otterbox or similar case and you're just about there. Reading some of these posts, you'd think a 5.5" iPhone is about the size of an iPad Mini. It's not even close. Not even remotely close.

As is (too) often posted here: if you don't want a bigger-screened iPhone, don't buy one. The market for smart phones appears to have shifted to screen sizes bigger than 4". Even Apple itself has acknowledged this in the Samsung case revelations. Apple is going there. If "we" cling to anything bigger than 4" is "stupid", "an abomination" and so on because Apple has endorsed 4" as the one and only perfect size for right now, they are about to shift AGAIN (once 3.5" was the one and only perfect size and everything bigger than that was "an abomination" until Apple rolled out the bigger screen). Apple also said that anything less than 9.7" was much too small for a good tablet; then they rolled out a 7.9" iPad and have sold millions of them.

If you objectively believe that 4" is the perfect size, hope that Apple makes a 6 in that screen size too. Otherwise, the diagonal screen size difference of 4" to 4.7" is very little. Those wanting even bigger are willing to give Apple money to build them for them. Apple apparently sees enough money there that it wants to build them rather than trying to make that market segment settle for 4.7" or 4" or 3.5" instead.

Every thread is the same: "way too big", etc... until Apple launches it… then it's "shut up and take my money" and "best iPhone ever!" It was the same with the transition from 3.5" to 4":
(1-prerumor and early rumors)detest & bash,
(2-as rumors began to pile up)"it's kind of growing on me",
(3-when it seemed inevitable that Apple was about to change) "I'll wait & see"
(4-when Apple launched the change) "shut up and take my money."
Haven't we seen this movie over and over before?

I dub it: the MegaPhone.

Personally I think it's too big for me, but I do hope Apple sells it, if only to shut up the inevitable whining that 4.7" is just too small.

Not sure why anyone would want to have a phone that big.

Really? What about multimedia? Watching movies/tv shows? Playing games? Reading PDFs? Spreadsheets/documents on the go? People with larger hands? Or weaker eyes? Etc... All this without the need to carry additional iPad. Yes, there's lots of uses and lots of us want it. Current 5S is too damn small.

Amen brother.
 
I have a bunch of iOS 8 icon mockups. Anyone want me to release a few each day for the next few weeks?
 
I would really like a 5.5" iphone but the bezels make the phone unecessarily big overall. Look at the Xperia Z Ultra, yes it's a gigantic phone but the bezels at top and bottom are also gigantic which makes the phone bigger than it really needs to be just for the sake of design symmetry. If apple does it right, even a 5.5" screen can seem not too bad with the right design that doesn't shoe horn the big circular home button.
 
Am I the only one?

Am I the only one here who dream Apple to made a 2.8" iPhone that weighs 80 grams?
