He didn't say that: he said he wanted a 4" phone and that he would like the advanced features rather than it being cheaper.

I don't understand this continued labeling of the 5c as a "budget" phone. It sold for exactly where the 5 would have sold: $100 less expensive than the 5S. And that's all it was, a 5 in a different packaging. It's been my favorite iPhone, and I'll be sad to see them abandon the plastic shell. I've liked it a lot, and much more than the plastic of the 3G/S. I've been awaiting a new 4" phone, too...but if it looks like the 6/S/Plus, it'll be my first one in a case in a while.
The summary is that some people want Apple to offer a 4" phone that has feature parity with the current 4.7" phone. And some people want Apple to offer a phone that is noticeably cheaper. Some of those are the same people (ie, they want 6s features for $200 less than what a 6s costs or they nebulously want a 'current' phone that is $200 less, which I guess an 'A9 light' would qualify for but not an A8 because the A8 is not current). But a lot of them are different people and half of them will complain if the '6c' costs within $50 to 100 of what the 6s costs (while essentially having feature parity with the 6s) and the other half will complain it it isn't at least $200 cheaper than the 6s.

That was my main point, that whatever option Apple chooses some people will complain bitterly.
 
I thkink the whole 4" phone is a terrible idea. It will split up the device sizes even further for developers. It is clear that bigger screens are the future.

Its clear that in the future people will become more intelligent like they've already been some years ago - trying to make smartphones small and comfortable, until they will be replaced by virtual screens and projections.

That will be the end of those ****in' "Mini/Compact" Smartphones (!!!) with 5".
 
You 4 inchers drive me mad.

Im sitting here at work in my vehicle having some food watching some netflix on my 6s plus 5.5 inch screen. Its just like being at home with my huge screen.

Good luck doing that with your tiny 4 inch.

When will people get it through their heads that different sizes suit different people?

4 inch too small? Don't buy it. Not sure what the hate is about.

What you've said is the equivalent of me saying "I have a 15 inch laptop because I like it, thus Apple should discontinue all other Macbook sizes (11,12,13) despite those sizes being appreciated by many people.

Why don't you buy an iPad or MacBook instead of 6s Plus if you are so amazed by the big screen which is "just like your home huge screen"?

You know they have even more than 5.5 inch, they even have more than 10 inch. Wow!

-.-

Strange people.

Soem people carry an iPad Mini with them a lot of the time, some people don't. Some people like small phones, some people like large phones. Its all down to personal preference and needs.

For myself, a 4 inch phone is ideal. I can do everything I need/want on my iPhone 5, and find it the perfect size. The iPhone 6 is near useless to be as it is too big and too big to be used one handed. However for some people, it works well.

Nobody will be forced to buy the upcoming 4 inch iPhone so I don't see how anyone could possibly have an issue with a 6 Mini or whatever it is called.
