guess you werent around for the iphone 3G/S -- great phones that were best in class and best sellers.
I hope those dimensions aren't accurate. At 14X7 cm, it would be larger than the Nexus 5 despite having a smaller screen. And the bottom bezel on the Nexus 5 is already huge.
Isn't the 5C just the 5 wrapped in plastic? I mean in terms of internals and performance. What was the switch for?
Some use it, intelligent developers. Nonetheless, Apple is going to rework API and gestures entirely to help with usability on larger devices.
No, not 3.5".
There will be no devices sold as new with a 3.5 inch display. All three price points will be 4"+
1. IPhone 6
2. IPhone 5S
3. IPhone 5C
3.5inch will be able to be deprecated.
The long version of the story is that I switched to a Nexus 5 and absolutely hated it. I bought a 5c over a 5S mostly for money reasons since I was planning to get the iPhone 6 anyway.
AutoLayout has a bunch of issues; it's awkward to set-up and change constraints (especially when animating), especially if you don't use .xibs for your interface. It's also slow - constraint solving is a polynomial-complexity problem. It's only really useful if you have very simple layouts.
As for 3.5", I don't think it's ready to be deprecated. There are still an awful lot of iPhone 4 and 4Ses around, not to mention iPads which use the 3.5" form when running iPhone apps (that might be changeable; but large differences in the aspect-ratio will make the experience even worse than it already is).
Even if it does become deprecated (which I strongly, strongly doubt), we'll be left with 3 different screen sizes (each with different resolutions to reach a Retina-level PPI; possibly different aspect ratios, too):
- 4"
- 4.7"
- 5.7"

The majority of people dislike 5c and Apple knows it.

I would crawl over broken glass for this one!!! Great!!!
The Moto X feels much better in the hands because the smaller bezel is on the bottom. Even the Nexus 5 can feel better upside down.
The Moto X, a phone with a 4.7" screen, feels barely bigger than an iPhone 5. If the 4.7" iPhone 6 is larger than the Nexus 5, that will be a huge bummer. Apple needs to rethink that huge home button causing so much bezel.
