What mistake? Buyers made their decision and they bought 5s over 5c..
In fairness, that's not accurate. People bought both, just not in the proportions Apple expected customers to buy them.

The mistake was trying to flog an iphone 5 internals in a colourful phone, and charge people more money.
But why is that to their advantage? You get the 4.7", then they come out with the 5.5". Now you feel some buyer's remorse when you realise you would have preferred the 5.5", and they have missed out on selling you the larger (presumably more costly) phone. Are they expecting you to buy BOTH?
Like others here, I just don't get the logic.
PS. You think your iPhone 5 is long in the tooth? You should try my 3G!![]()
Seems an asinine reason to delay a product. I doubt the margins will be drastically different between the two versions, and it's highly unlikely that people will buy both, so all they're doing is giving the competition extra time to market their larger screen phones to potential customers.
And anyway, if they don't show both in September, I'd question the existence of the 5.5" model.
My take is that Apple will keep the 5s in circulation at the SAME price point and release the new 4.7 one for a $100 bucks more. Keeping a teared pricing structure. No need to devaluate the 5s this year with a more expensive one when first adopters will not bat an eye at paying more for the latest greatest.
Apple still believes the 5c problem was releasing it the same time as the 5s??!

My iPhone 5 is getting a little long in the tooth.
5C - Free
5S - $100
6 (4.7") - $200
6 (5.5") - I'll believe it when I see it.
Does this mean make the larger model available later, or announce it later. That will PO a lot of people that would buy the 4.7" but prefer the 5.5" version.
"To avoid competition between two models"... how, exactly? I don't see the point.

All this speculation only fuels one thing, more sales.
Well played Apple.
