IF there is a 5.5" iPhone and Apple doesn't announce them at the same time then they are going to piss off a lot of people. I'm just going to have to get the 4.7". I don't want to hold out for a phone that may never show up. And 5.5" phone is pretty huge anyways. We shall see.
 
That display looks nothing like this:

Where are the thinner side bezels? Where is the slightly curved edges? Even the top and bottom bezels looks smaller with the display shown on YouTube. :confused:

I was wondering the exact same thing. Either one of them is fake. Hoping these new ones are fake because they just look like enlarged iPhone 5/5s panels. We shall wait and see.

Maybe there's a third phone.

I just need to hibernate for a month, but it wouldn't suprise me if this design wasn't far from the truth.

Yeah first thing I thought when I saw it is looks just like the 5s panel. I'll bet it's the panel for a knock off phone from China.
 
This is the panel shown off by Marcus Brownlee on YouTube. Seems more legit to me considering all the case leaks we've seen show curved edges.

I'm more disappointed that there won't be a notification light.

Also, it looks like the photo that was linked up a bit from me there is only one hole (I'm assuming for the camera), which makes me wonder where the proximity sensor is.

Good observation Rogifan and Xeyad, I thought the same. Bezel is exact same size of 5/5S only stretched. Undoubtedly fake. #
 
This will be the longest 5 weeks of my life... Ugh. Can't wait for the official announcement so we can put all these rumors to bed. Rounded edges on the screen seem pretty likely, not sure how I feel about the whole "off-center front-facing camera" thing though.
 
are you kidding me?? Same bezels all around like current generation...

I really hope Jony No-Ive-dea's has come up with something more interesting than, let's spend a year and just make it look exactly the same but bigger

Agreed, but unfortunately I can't say it would be Apple's fault. In previous investors calls Tim has spoke about how the rumor mill is turning out to be harmful sometimes. I have every belief that Apple actually did/still is testing a larger iPhone, but for whatever reason may not be happy enough with it. Either that or they've just controlled the leaks really well.

If it does exist but just isn't ready for production, they better announce it!

Yes I'm certain that Jony said don't make the bezels thinner. There's no chance that is a limitation of technology. Think about it.
 
are you kidding me with those thick bezels. i have always been an apple supporter and if this phone is as ugly as they are predicting it will be... than ill be switching
