Ok, I gotcha. But I wouldn't expect there to be another SE phone with a home button, so I doubt that's going to be a size-related model, as opposed to the mini, which I personally think should be an option, but I guess it failed by Apple's standards.
Well, I bought a 12 mini, but just one. Perhaps it is not enough for Apple’s liking, so I am planning on buying a 13 mini later on, to keep that mini appreciation line going. Unless, of course, Apple beings back a refreshed 5.8” iPhone, in which case I will happily get that.
I love that Apple wants to continue to increase screen sizes. Now can they work on Split Screen apps when in landscape, please?
Fantastic news, but if I recall MacRumors posted a similar story months back calling it a iPhone Ultra. My trusty ole iPhone 11 is still doing just fine for me but I think upgrading after 5 years I’ll see plenty of differences. 
I find my iPhone 13 is too tall. Apple is really blowing it when it comes to not offering something smaller I'm afraid. The Mini failed. Fine. But you can make something say 5.7" and premium. Especially if they plan on making the iPhone 16 start at 6.3" now.
So how many people out there were born with Gorilla hands?
It's like they're trolling us at this point. 6.3 inches?!
O.k. for people who like it big. The regular pro is already too big and heavy for my taste (let alone that huge camera hump) - I'd rather not have the "pro" features than a phone I can't use with one hand or comfortably put in trousers' pockets. As a working professional in the AV industry, usability and pocketability are the professional features I value most. Otoh, it will still take some years, until AI gets over the physical limitations of those tiny lenses and sensors.
It's going to be foldable twice and could be used as a sail if it wouldn't weigh a ton. Battery life will be good, though, at least one day, although you'll need both hands and a foot to use it, and wheels for $800 to move it around.
I am suggesting this lineup, using year of release numbering. S-M-L for size. Example:
- iPhone 23L Pro (or iPhone 23LP)
- iPhone 23L
- iPhone 23M
- iPhone 23S

F**k why the vendors are making their phones bigger and bigger???
I just want a smaller pro level phone with thick body (put a large battery and better camera inside)

When you put it this way it feels like a long time, I have 14 pro and it really seems the 15 is the phone to skip as I am interested in going with the Max next time around
This image shows a 6.7" iPhone 13 Pro Max next to a 8.3" iPad mini 6. The size isn't close and neither is the difference of OSs not quite apparent. One is designed really for mobile web browsing, the other desktop web browsing. You can also try reading a book on one versus the other, its not even close even if the iPhone grows a scant .2"So now the phone is approaching the size of the iPad Mini? In that case I don't see the iPad Mini remaining in the lineup for much longer...
I hope phone manufacturers realize pockets can only get so big.

Will it also function as a solar battery and a float? I know it will have satellite capability for when you're lost at sea.

I will never buy an iPhone larger than the current iPhone 13 Mini.
That phone is already at the absolutely maximum size I can enjoyable use and carry around.
I'd honestly prefer it were a touch smaller as it is.

YES!
Mini owners and lovers THIS is the time, more than any other, that you NEED to raise praise of the iPhone Mini.
mark thread commentary,
media examples/content and send emails, twitter posts, etc etc etc to all Apple staff in charge or works on the iPhone!
LOL ... tough luck case the iPhone Max this year will get the best camera ONLY - Periscope.
So ... count up your golden eggs and chickens for the top of the line iPhone next year along with the case and whole new lower wardrobe for your suit & casual pants, jeans and comfy street wear just to carry that bad-bunny!!
For your secondary request ... this is where Apple engineering team needs to properly review the foldable competition especially the Opposite Fold N2 ... that is the sweet spot in terms of pocketable size and screen width ... just needs to be thinner with Apple's finest.
