I was pretty skeptical at first with this whole 5.5" iPhone thing and still kinda don't think Apple will release both, BUT it's possible.

Do you think the 5.5" iPhone would have additional features? The iPhone is by far my most used device so I get the newest one every year and the choice last year between 5c and 5s was simple.

However, even though 5.5" seems too big, if it has additional features like better battery life or other cool things, I might be enticed to just go that route...

Just curious as to what you all think. Obviously we have no idea. But then again it could be like the iPad mini with Retina display vs. iPad Air.
 
I think it would be neat to see some exclusive features ala the S-Pen on the Note series, but my guess.....

-Higher clocked A8
-Bigger Battery
-MAYBE a storage bump
-MAYBE a RAM bump

Other than that, it'll likely be the same iOS as the 4.7", 4", 7.9" and 9.7" Apple devices.

Oh and it'll definitely come with a higher price tag - likely $100 higher.
 
Hopefully it would be like ipad mini retina with ipad air minus the teribble gamut on retina mini.
