And, like I said, it does mean something. More pixels at the same PPI means you can see more on the screen at once.

And if you read the post he said he really doesn't want a bigger screen/phone but he would only get it for the more pixels which in this case means nothing.
 
And that extra 500 mV would be turned into heat in the device. However, I missed the 3.82V on there so it's all as well.

Point is moot, but not necessarily waste heat. Pretty easy to use a clamp and create split rails.

Well, I can't read his mind, but I don't think your point naturally follows from what he said. He may not "really want a bigger screen" but he may be interested in being able to see more on the screen at once without scrolling. Having more pixels (at same PPI) would give him that.

If they have the same PPI, and different sizes and pixel counts, they will show a different image. iOS is not PPI independent.

Just to clarify you know in order to have more pixels at the same PPI you would have to make the screen bigger (due to the fact PPI means pixels per inch) if you did know that and that isn't the confusion he said he would never really want a 5.5 inch phone but if it has more pixels he would want it simply due to the fact he though it meant it would look better.

Still, why bother and not use 3.8V? I'm not aware of anyone else using a chemistry in that range for mobile devices.

Yes, this is what I meant. If the 5.5" has more screen real estate than the 4.7" and isn't noticeably bigger due to smaller bezels, I'll probably get it.

I know that, but he didn't necessarily know that. And it turns out I was right, based on his last post.

Yea it turned out you were right, though the way he typed his post it made it seem he was more in it for the pixels due to him saying if that were the case then he would get it and he would never think he would get a phone that size, but whatever.

Ok that conversation confused me. I get it now.
 
Based of the size of the battery to the ladies hand it honestly looks like a 4.7 inch phone battery rather than a 5.5 inch. I tried to keep it at a similar distance and same hand position, you can clearly see i didn't edit the size of either photo since i took a pic of the two previews next to each other. If it is an iPhone 6 battery it is prob a 4.7 inch phone battery. Also if anything i held the phone farther rather than closer so that again only proves my point.

So the battery is going to stick out of the new iPhone!?
 
So apple is doing the same thing with iPhone/ipad that they do with the Macbook lines:


:apple:A smaller, cheaper, ultraportable, powerful 'air' iPhone and iPad (see: Apple stating iPhone 6 might not be 'iPhone 6')

:apple:A larger (either in weight, size, or thickness) more powerful, more pricey yet more productive 'pro' iPhone and iPad.

look at the thumb, they look completely different.
 
Obviously a 4.7 inch iPhone will be a bit bigger than a 4 inch iPhone, it's to show that it is only a little bit bigger making it unlikely to be a 5.5 inch iPhone battery.

That's cause they aren't from the same person.

I can tell by the pixels.

You didn't just line up the photos next to one another and draw over lines... right..? I see nothing in either photo that can be used as a reliable reference of scale.

The hand is in the same position and similar size, while most fingers aren't the same exact size they aren't exactly greatly different.

No iPhone will ever be called 'Pro' it's astoundingly hilarious that people think that will happen. It's gonna likely be iPhone 6 and iPhone 6L (as the 9to5mac article mentions). Next year it will be iPhone 6S and iPhone 6LS. Apple will never say 'iPhone Pro S' or 'iPhone Proer' nor will there be 'iPhone Air' 'iPhone Air S' or 'iPhone Airier'. There is no iPhone for professionals, they all will always have the maximum specs, and a professional can choose whatever size device they want.

P.S. The naming is almost entirely marketing, and iPhone Pro would be the worst marketing POSSIBLE. Nothing would be more stupid/confusing/infuriating to customers. By the way, the only reason they are making different sizes is because people don't all want the same sized screen. There will be no or next to no differences in specs.

You're saying they will put a 2915 mAh battery in the 4.7? Unlikely. Also the size of the battery in your phone is much smaller. Nice comparison photo though.
 
Ok so 1080p is the most we will ever need in a screen smaller then 6". Anything more is a waste of processing and battery power. I'm very happy with my 5" 720p screen and battery life on my moto droid maxx. I will only switch to iPhone if I get the same battery life as I do out of the maxx (2 days).
 
more descriptive is 11.28whr

Still, why bother and not use 3.8V? I'm not aware of anyone else using a chemistry in that range for mobile devices.

We don't know what sort of energy conversion happens on their phone. 11.28 watt hours is more descriptive.
