Well. Im glad apple decided to put 4.7" instead of 5". Because i feel my nexus 5 is still to big sometimes. 4.7" is perfect for me. Screen is big enough but doesnt compromise on one hand usage.
 
Iphone 6 size is perfit !!! here is big compare

I'm glad Apple finally gave us a big iPhone that can at least stay close to the coat tails of Androids best. Every time I compare my 5 against the Galaxy phones, I get screen envy.

Well, no more. I can now run with the big dogs! I'm gonna have a big screen!

It's ok if you picked the smaller screen.
 
Love or hate Samsung, the Galaxy Alpha shows how small a phone with a 4.7" screen can be and is more the size the 6 should have been IMO.

Aside from the thickness, the Moto X was smaller than the Galaxy Alpha. It's still one of my favorite Android phones.
 
If they shrunk the bezel of the iPhone at the top and bottom then the camera components would end up behind the display. They would sit back to back of each other which likely means the phone would have to be thicker again (which I don't really mind). If the camera is already sticking out a bit on the iPhone 6 then a smaller bezel (therefore moving the camera behind the display) with the same thinness would make the camera stick out even more. As for the home button/touch ID not sure what they would do with that if they shrunk the bottom bezel.
 
This proves it's the perfect size? Near as I can tell all it proves is that the 6 is the same size as some phones that other companies make right now. That says nothing about the "perfection" of the device. It says something about the phones you cherry picked to compare and it says something about current market trends in terms of phone sizes, but that's about it.
 
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is not really the right competition for the iPhone6. I seriously doubt that many will have to think long and hard between the two. The real competition to the Iphone6 and 6+ is the Galaxy S5 and Note4/Edge. These are your flagship devices with the latest processors and specs that android device makers love to flaunt. With about equal battery (1800 odd MaH) which phone do you think will have a better battery life? Does the alpha even come with a Qualcomm chip?
