Even 5.5in may well seem pathetically small by September. I bet Samsung are already working on 6in+ phones. Its a screen-size arms race and Tim Cook knows that Apple need to catch up!

In fact, analysts predict that by 2016, ~80% of smartphone screens will possibly be bigger than the iPad is today.

There are already a number of 6+ inch phones on the market, I have one. I don't think the market will move up that far. It's so big that I have hard time sitting down with the phone in my pocket.
 
Ugh. The 4" Screen on the 5 already sticks out of my pocket. The phone doesn't need to be any bigger. Everyone with big phones already looks like a ridiculous 80's banker, it doesn't need to get any worse.

Stop buying jeans at the baby gap because you're too hipster to just wear some Levi 514s.

Problem solved :)
 
I need to stop visiting this forum, same annoying rumors over & over.

10's of articles about "summer or September releases" for each new model & yet it's always wrong
 
How many times are you guys going to post the same exact thing? You don't need to reinstate the same information every single time a random company or person says it.

September
Two sizes
Words that mean the same as "maybe" that don't make anything more definitive than it was last time you posted it. If it were evidence or something that is progress into this news, then it should be posted. Another person stating that it /might/ have the qualities that have previously been posted multiple times seems unnecessary.
 
Anyone have any idea how the battery life scales with the screen sizes? Assuming the rest of the internals stay the same, the battery should be able to get a lot larger with the screen. However, the bigger screen would draw more juice. Which one wins?

Also, I think they should put out all three screen sizes at the same time. However, they'd have to get rid of the storage size choice, because the matrix would be too complicated to manage from both the customer and supply chain POV, IMO.
 
Why? So Apple can tell me I can still only have 4 icons in the dock with only five rows of icons for MORE blank space to supplement WhiteOS 7?
 
I'm not really looking for a bigger screen myself but in a few years are we going to hear......

It's an phone, It's an iPod, It's an iPad mini! Do you get it? This is one device! :rolleyes: ;) :p
 
5.5" phones have been around for a while now, and I still think they're utterly ridiculous.
 
I welcome a 4.7" screen so long as they don't have a ton of waste space with a giant bezel and random blank areas like the new HTC One has. I wish Apple would move the front facing camera next to the speaker instead of on top if it to shrink the phone a little.
 
I have worked out Tim Cook's strategy. They announce nothing week after week so all the Mac rumour sites have nothing to report but the same story over and over to the point were everyone falls asleep and the rumour sites close down.
 
September would be perfect. My plan expires in August. Apple is about simple. So 2 different screen sizes being manufactured does not make sense. I applauded Apple if the do, as I like the smaller size of current iPhone. But i would move to larger if no other option.
 
Next iPhone released as early as Friday!

I won't say which Friday, or which iPhone, but I'm bound to be right!

Where is my $$$ and analyst job offers?
 
I hope the smaller version cost more, so the complainers that DONT WANT A LARGER PHONE, can feel they got the more elite version and stop complaining about something they will NEVER buy..

Except they WILL buy it and act like they never doubted it for a second! :rolleyes:
 
Still hoping for a 4.3-4.5in bezel free iPhone. I really don't want to see the width of the iPhone increase.
 
Apple will NEVER launch a 5inch or bigger smartphone. That would be far too big to deliver the experience Apple wants to give its customers. Anyone expecting this is going to be disappointed when iPhone 6 launches to the world.

Never is a long time, do you wish to rethink that statement?

So another 5, 10, 1000, 10000 years an iPhone of 5" WILL NOT HAPPEN

That's what you are stating here as fact. Yes ?
 
LOL I was just reading the other topic about Apple not releasing two sizes.

Which one is it? Two iPhone 6.0s with two different sizes or one iPhone 6.0, one size?

Despite all the sarcastic responses, this alone is why this is newsworthy. It's yet another rumor, and a more current rumor, that two iPhones will be released simultaneously.
