Here's the twist: They'll sell us the phone. Make it look pretty in photos and tell us about the new features which will make us forget the fact the camera produces a few mm.
Not an excuse.
The fact that the larger model has a protruding camera, will undoubtedly get spun as the larger model having a "pro" camera. So we will get two options: knowingly pick the smaller model with the worse camera, or pay EXTRA for CAMERAGATE and get tons of dust and scratches on the lens. Wonderful.
Actually, the article said:
It seems implausible that the bigger phone, which isn't thinner and doesn't have a smaller bezer, would need a different camera design. I'm willing to bet that either both have it, or neither.
If the camera has to protrude out the back, take the hint - the phone is too thin!
Kind of like the iPod.

I know it's not an excuse.
I'd be VERY shocked if Apple even thought about having a protruding camera on any device.
I'm not looking into any rumours until Apple unveil it on stage. Anything up until then, for me, is bull.
Changing the focal length from 4.1 mm to 5 mm is hardly useful. Also the trade offs for aperture and imaging quality are way too high. I honestly hope optical zoom NEVER makes it's way into smart phones. It's horrible enough in compact cameras.
Apple has to differentiate the two. The .8" screen difference is not enough so we might get a better camera, faster cpu, better battery life, sapphire, a surprise feature, etc. on the 5.5".
I agree, thinking the same thing.
I hope they don't sacrifice the camera on the 4.7 model though. For most that is going to be the one they get, if they go to the larger form factor.
Ape patented a system for detachable lenses for mobile device cameras, so I am wondering if this might be the first product that allows for detachable lenses.
No need to get pissy.

Didn't say there was ALL the evidence, just that there was evidence. Calm down, you'll give yourself a heart attack.
Or
iPhone Mini (5s)
iPhone Air (4.7)
iPhone Pro (5.5)
They just don't sound right, but its time to ditch the numbering, the iPad just did it last year, so this might end up happening.
Everyone wants a scratch resistant Apple logo
I'm all for it. Hated when it happened on my 3G and 3Gs.
