Let me introduce to you: TouchID. It's 99.9% certain that the Homebutton stays the same.
But hopefully the side bezels are smaller...
Got a tip for us?

Not this again.see what I did there. I quoted you saying the same thing that some one says when I say what I said.
I see what you did but my comment still got more up votes.

I'm not saying it won't. I fully expect touchID requiring the button to remain about "as is" and thus the design aesthetic of balance yielding the top edge bezel being just as thick too. If so, we end up with a pretty big iPhone relative to other phones with 4.7" screens.
I'm simply imagining that it could go. And if it did, the bigger-screen iPhone could be a smaller or about same-sized iPhone.
Let there be more storage/memory. Please! I dont care about the other stuff. They can keep Siri. All I want is a reasonable price for a device with enough memory to use all the features in a regular way. It's okay. I understand the weakness of expandable memory. But wake the f*k up and give us something more than we got the last five years. At least over a 100 Gig as basic configuration. This is getting ridiculous.
Sorry for going off-topic here but it irritates me more than you can imagine.

Exactly. I want to be able to use the features of the iPhone as they are intended. When I buy the base model for $1000, I can't do that.
Reduce the thickness of all the parts but keep the phone as thick as it currently is. GIVE ME MORE BATTERY!
I was employing the literary device known as sarcasm; it's really hard to get that thing to work online.
Anyone can post a picture of a backlight. There are lots of backlights out there, some already in devices. Without something a little more definitive, this is nothing more than an unconfirmed rumor from an unreliable source.
That doesn't look that much bigger
I'm starting to think that the 4.7 and 5.5 inch iPhones are duds and controlled leaks. Apple is going to pull a iPhone 4S and release a 4.1 to 4.3 inch model. I'm actively looking at the Lumia 930; it's the "closest" experience to iOS. Plus, those live tiles.

Bezel??
As others have noted - the bezels appear to be much smaller on the 4.7" part. That will help keep the overall size smaller than the competition while still yielding a larger screen. Love it!!

I am starting to believe that there will be no I6 in 5,5" width.
I think there will be only a 4,7" version of the phone.

Then why do they line up applying for the jobs?

Its entirely voluntary.
This bothered me at first but I've changed my mind.
I'm one of those "give me a bigger battery" people and the top and bottom bezels as shown in most mock-ups do mean that there's more internal space for battery compared to a design where they were reduced by home button changes etc. Also, for me at least, the height is the least important of the three dimensions (within reason).
I care far more about the dimensions (and weight) in terms of how easy it is to carry my phone about with me all the time without me really noticing it weighing down or bulging my pocket. When I'm using it I'm happy to go two-handed if necessary so don't care much about the size. I keep my phone in my front trouser pocket and the thickness of the device determines how bulky it feels. I also find that, on some trousers with an internal coin pocket inside the main pocket, I can slip my phone into that so that it stays upright in my pocket and tight against my thigh. Not adding too much width to the phone together with reduced thickness, will hopefully mean that it will still fit into a coin pocket sometimes sewn inside the main pocket. For height though, all that a bit of extra height means to me is that I don't have to reach down quite so far into my pocket to get my phone out. My iPhone 5 could grow about 40mm in height before it started sticking up a bit too high in my pocket (I just did an experiment to measure it using Banana Republic "Gavin" chinos).
Thinner, only a bit wider, let the height grow and fill as much of the internal space as possible with battery works pretty well for me.
