Yea I agree. By the looks of this though, the 4,7" phone will be bigger than the 4".
I have an eight year old daughter. The iPhone 5 is allready big for her tiny pockets. Apple needs to atleast have one phone model to accomodate kids imo.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

If they're going to go to a non-Apple standard resolution (meaning no doubling of the current iPhone res), they should just go to 1080x1920 and be done with it.
I definitely hope they increase the PPI on their "retina" screens. All Android flagship devices have 400+ PPI and trust me it makes a difference.
You get me?! 4.5 or 5" Bigger is better!!!!!!
Am I the only one excited about the prospect of a bigger iPhone?
I think you might be the only person on MR that actually prefers black edges around apps
Some random poster on a rumors forum doesn't need to give a fellow poster parenting advice....let him do what he wants. Its his kid, not yours.
Thanks evolution.
Let's face it, because of the smartphone screen size wars, my thumbs are evolving to be longer, and my penis is getting shorter.

But... my 3 year old has an iPhone It's an old one but works great for watching Dora in a pinch!

Really developers are going to hate coding for multiple resolutions?
We already do it now, there is this thing called an iPad and there are still iPhones around with a 3.5 in screen.
Right now we have to code for 640x960, 640x1136, and 2048x1536 in retina res. Thats more then one.
If Apple does it like Apple does it there should only be one new resolution for both devices like how they did it with the iPad Air and Retina iPad Mini.
As a developer I can not wait for more bigger devices with a higher screen resolution displays. If the developer builds the app right (for most app types) its very easy to scale to different resolutions.
Yes, I'm afraid dev's will actually have to do some work.
Considering the broad range of devices available, a developer should ensure that an app/webpage scales to a variety of sizes and aspect ratios.
Not saying I prefer
I guess I'm not saying I prefer it, but as a developer it would be nice to let the current apps look and work "as usual" until the developers can change their apps to a bigger resolution if they desire. Kind of like what Apple did when they released the iPhone 5. It also handles situations where people with shorter thumbs won't have as hard of a time getting to the other side of the screen.

If you really want Apple to do what's best for the user, they should give us options. On the Galaxy Note and maybe other phones, you can actually make the screen smaller so you can use the phone with one thumb. I don't have a Note I just think that's a really cool feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGB2yDEjwnk
Recent evidence? Like the fact that Apple is releasing two new, larger screen phones this year?
I would bet Samsung purchases are based on the following, in order:
1. Price
2. OS
3. Apple hatred (let's face it, some hate Apple like MS used to be hated so they buy other phones out of spite
Of course, that doesn't mean every Samsung purchase was made because of price, but I would be highly surprised if that wasn't the major reason.
A).. out of spite... Wow. That's certainly a reach...
B). Price?. In the UK, most of the flagship phones are very similar prices....
Have you ever considered CHOICE as an option for folks purchases...?..
Evolution Design
Also, I should add that I was just taking evolutionary theory to the extreme. If all men care about are using bigger phones all the time, they wouldn't be using their other parts. Evolutionary design would then make that part smaller (like a tail bone since we don't need tails any longer), and place resources on what we do need for survival which are cell phone screens.

A big company like Apple doesn't take a dump without a plan. If Apple is doing it, then they must be pretty confident that people want bigger screen phones and that they will sell a lot of them. And that confidence isn't just a guess, they research. Some of that research doesn't always serve well (iPhone 5C), but Apple has been more successful than not in figuring out what people want (or at least what they will buy).
The rumor is two phones. But it is 99 percent guaranteed the next iPhone, at least one of them, will be a bigger screen. That is not just rumor. Its hard to hide mass production orders being placed.
