Apple really should have made 3 iPhone 6 models.

I thought the exact same! The extra screen space is great! but Im starting to miss the weight and feel of my 5S
I will be sticking with my 5S until next year. Hopefully Apple will upgrade he 4" next year and offer three sizes. I just didn't like my 6.
IMHO i agree.
For years they ignore the big phone crowd and still have great sales numbers showing a definite need for small phones. Then they ignore that demographic completely and come out with two large screened phones. Really should have been 3 sizes with similar internals. A mini, a standard and a plus.

Lots of flaws with yours model. Why would last years technology with the smaller screen be the current price of Apple's 6? Also, the "nano" and "classic" moniker are dead and on their way out. No reason the current 6 prices should be increased either.
5C and 5S should be cut, since the 6 mini would basically be the 5S, and there's no need for 4 iPhone models..
iPhone 6 Mini: 4.0" 16Gb (Free), 32Gb ($99)
iPhone 6: 4.7" 32GB ($199), 64GB ($299), 128GB ($399)
iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5" 32Gb ($299), 64GB ($399), 128GB ($499)
The 6 Mini wouldn't be the 5s, it would be the 6 Mini. It should also come with 64/128GB options*. This isn't about the cost, it's about the form factor. There'd be no reason to discontinue the 5c as the 'budget' option.
* I'm probably displaying complete ignorance of storage in assuming that a 128GB module is physically no larger than a 32GB module.
Agreed. Would have been nice for those who don't want a larger screen, but want a new iPhone.
I know my wife would have preferred the 4" version, and I think Apple would have benefited from the third 4" model. Additional, they could have 'tested' the sales mix of different sized products before hand before completely axing the 4" model. You get to capture the people who think 4" was plenty (my wife for instance), people would really needed a bigger 4.7" screen (like me), and those who wanted a phablet.
So you want only 2 storage sizes for iPhone 6 and 6+, and you want the 5s to be renamed iPhone nano?...
But it would virtually be the 5S in terms of size, is what I was getting at. I think Apple should also underlock the 6 Mini and overclock the 6 plus
There might be a smaller one during the "transition" period and it will be very profitable since it will reuse the 5s internals, A8 once the new chip comes around next year, and the 
pay to increase Apple's comission.
Your prices are too low however.

This is what I would like to see. Specifically a real nano sized phone, 3.2" like the HTC Aria/Liberty.
