Multiple colors are unnecessary... Is Apple catering the iphone to elementary kids now? Just bring on the 4.8" iphone!
Apple wont increese the iPhone size. You cant use 4.8 inch with one hand.
I seriously hope the iPhone is not offered in more than 2 colors; black & white.
When using my phone, I do not want to look like I'm using an iPod Touch, or want to see anyone else using it.
I would actually be up for only one color: Aluminum.
Modify the iPhone to a tear-drop, Macbook Air-esque form, that has a glass front panel similar to an iPad with edge to edge display real estate.
And no home button.
No need for more storage capacity, Apple is moving AWAY from local storage.
ie iCloud, iTunes Match, possible streaming service.
Don't we acknowledge that the future is moving towards ultra portable and light streaming/cloud based devices?
If Apple gets caught in a spec-based race against Samsung/others, and looses its creative take on devices we use everyday, then we can say goodbye to Apple in the coming years.

All that talk, about too large displays, will become irrelevant soon.
"Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5 will have bendable or even foldable displays by 2014. Just imagine, returning to the legacy of the flip phone with new folding or even "squishy" phones."

Apple, wake up!

Ask any security person with knowledge of NFC...so easily hackable without having to touch the phone....not a good thing....and don't be swayed by the commercials of the Galaxy phones sending videos with the touch of a phone....it's not that fast to move video data instantly....
I find this all hard to believe. Though I could see 128GB storage becoming an option.
3. iPhone Pro/HD whatver. 4.8" screen 128gb, bigger battery. Quad core etc.
The only way any of this would be true is if Apple realizes they've gone about as far as they can with the current design/concept.
One thing for sure: If they make a 4.8" iPhone it will sell like crazy (I'm in). Also, they would take the new design (no home button, etc) and scale it down for the 4" model to keep everyone else happy.
Don't see it though, but it's going to be very interesting to see where they go with an iPhone 6.
I stand corrected, although I am sure it would be cost prohibitive for Apple to use in the first place for now, based on how many products ship with a 1024 Gb NAND flash chip today.
4.8" screen, near field communication (NFC), coming in a range of colors...sounds like the iPhone is turning more and more into the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Love the report, I'm now only holding off on a new iPhone because of the Maps issues, hope they are fixed by the time the next iPhone comes out.
