It could be called the iPhone 6 minus. 
I like the size, updated specs and even the form factor.

Yeah I don't understand why they don't add it to all their phones if it's the future of the interface or if they want to make more people develop for it.no 3D Touch? shouldnt they be pushing that technology so devs will actually bother to implement it?
Have you visited https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/politics-religion-social-issues.47/...do you guys ever think we're too critical of the phones that are released? Maybe we should be criticizing things that matter like the UN or the United States House of Representatives instead?

False. I use iOS 6 right now. I don't use many apps on either my phone or iPad, but the ones I do work just fine.No you wouldn't. 80% of your apps wouldn't run.

I seriously don't "get" these ever-larger phones. Because it only cost me $30, I picked up a Kindle Fire with a 7" display.
Again, it was only $30 - but the 7 inches of "screen real estate" - it sucks. I even half-rooted it to de-Amazon the thing - and I seriously do not care for the Android interface. Rather than swiping, I'm always having to swipe then find a little button to press - it's very clumsy.
So, at home, I can pick up my iPhone or the Fire to check email and do my "phone stuff" - weather, set alarms, music, etc. And I always find myself picking up my phone. Again, it's an iPhone 4. I really like that it's tiny - rather "perfect" if you ask me (stop raising your hands, I'm not taking questions...)
So if Apple wishes to sell ME a new iPhone, jack that 4 with all of the latest tech so I can get my money out of the life cycle before I get bump-iOS'd out.
Stop making it bigger and thinner - iOS beats the crap out of whatever Lollipop nonsense - and give a shout out to those of us who primarily use our phones for phone stuff. More real estate just makes it take up too much room in my pockets. I've already got 5.5" built in down there (on a good day).
And then I'll get a new 10" iPad, which is also pretty much "perfect" - use my 4" as a "hotspot" should I be out of WiFi range. Apple sells me new two new devices - win/win.
I tried doing a non-phone thing with my 7" Fire - to watch a movie. Just laying in bed, thought I'd give it a shot. Didn't like it at all -
So, bad jokes aside, I think my "demographic" has been a big winner for Apple. Give us your highest tech in 4", pop us to 10" for the bed and the toilet - golden Apples all the way.
The 7s apparently isn't selling - what does Cook have to lose by going retro Jobs with the 4" - and NO SKIMPING on tech... because we KNOW your gameplan is to force us to upgrade - death by iOS.
Thanks so much for your support. Amaze me, Jony - slam the latest greatest into a 4" that "changes everything". Greatly appreciated, Sir-i!
And just name it the New iPhone 4btj (for back to Jobs) - I don't care. Let ME be a crazy rebel and have everyone laugh at me for having actually DESIRING a tiny phone... I can handle the insults.
How much would you pay for a 4" A9/10 phone?
In what world would Apple make a new phone and call name it something from three years ago? You're telling me they'll have the 7, 7+ and a 5se?? Not a chance.
I'd be ecstatic - heck, I'd toss in an extra $100 just to GET MY WAYEven though it's not gonna happen...
Wasn't there a Zoolander joke where his phone was insanely tiny? I remember that trend - and it got just as ridiculous as this "super-sizing" that's going on now. Sadly I can't fit my 42" Plasma in my pocket and paint it gold or I'd be STYLIN'! Whip that baby out in a coffee shop...
But yeah, I'd upgrade in a heartbeat - even pre-order with max memory - heck, make it 512GBI think I'll need it to store all of the odd photos that have been turned into Vines for no reason, well other than to eat up memory so you have to buy more memory. SUPA-SIZE IT! Gimme some BLOAT!!! Can't get enough...
I seriously can't think of a single use for a 5.5" phone - well, other than as the world's most expensive GPS, hanging off my windshield. 4" and 10" seem to be the sweet spots for me. That it appears I'm eventually to be FORCED to have an oddly large phone is about as appealing as the time my girlfriend (ex) talked me into wearing "skinny jeans" out one night. Atrociously painful.
And not running down folks who love the Plus's - I'm sure they have a myriad of uses for their phones that require the additional 1.5" of screen-estate. But Sam I am on that.
AM NOT!!!!!I only asked because some people want a smaller phone with same specs for less money. At least you're reasonable.
Their naming is truly horrible. No seriously... Who signs off on these things? Their name schemes are soooo bad.
