If only they can make 32 the base and keep price points the same...I can wish.

I agree that the rumors point to that, and I hope that is the case.
I was just saying, I hope we're not disappointed.
Because they launch the phones separately, doesn't mean they're copying Samsung. Are you saying Samsung are the only company to launch separate phones at separate events? Or that launching two phones side-by-side would be copying what Apple did in 2013?
Easy solution. Make a version with a double battery and vastly improved camera sensor. +$100 and +margin extra 8%.
Bring it on Apple ! I can't wait any longer to go back to iPhone.
What are you using now?
At their volumes they probably buy 32GB very close to 16 GB chips.
Would really like to know
I also agree, but if the new camera is better than very very good, I'm not going to complain that they should have stuck with very very good.

For me, its pretty simple math:
128GB - I buy the new iPhone 6. No 128GB - I don't buy.
Been with the 4S for 3 years now...I guess it's time to get one of those 68 million iPhones!
Been with the 4 for 4 years now, it is time for me to get one of those 67,999,999 phones.
I'm thinking along those same lines... BUT... wait for the price. It will most likely be a show stopper for me.
No company can "make everyone happy". Samsung probably makes 100+ models of phone in over a dozen different sizes, yet not everyone is happy with Samsung.
There is no "Apple vs Android" competition. This isn't a team sport. It's business and success is measured in profits. By that metric Apple indeed does "beat" all the Android phone makers combined.
A 128GB 5.5 inch iPhone 6 - I'm already assuming $900-ish price range, off contract. $499-$599 on contract are my guesses.
Yeah, it's just you...
Seriously, I know that taste is subjective, but my iPhone 5 and 5S are the two ugliest iPhones I've ever owned, IMO. They look like a Samsung or LG product.
lol @ Ancient device.
It is practically a cutting edge device compared to a 5s; no touch id, one row of icons less and a "ancient" processor. Big whoop. There are nearly no apps that do not work just fine on it and I can make *phone calls* like a baws. But it is "ancient". LMAO.
Lol, and you even left out the part that apple is moving from samsung as supplier...
But they can't lose, they have a enormous group to back up, and then, there's the Couth Korean government elite. The boss can't even go to jail after being convicted in court.
Not really Apples typical M.O. though to give that sort of choice.
the Iphone 6 rumours though are makign the 4.7" iphone really promising looking.
making me consider getting an iPhone finally. iOS8 looks to fix most of what I didnt like about prior iOS versions.
really wish they'd hurry up and announce this already.
how does that work?
you make 68m iphones and load the matured ios 8 together in sep, and in the main time they just siti n a storage while ios 8 is in its beta phase?

Yea I'm thinking the same thing.
5.5" is way too big and don't think Apple will go THAT big right now if ever...
5.5 is hardly "way too big". Even bigger phones, like the Note 3, sell very good numbers and IDC says that "phablets" are 10.5 percent of all smartphone sales in the first quarter this year (and climbing). Apple would be dumb to not get into that market.
