I'm the same way. My wife has a 6 and I will stay with my 5S until there is another 4" hopefully.
Got a tip for us?

All sounds fine to me, for an 'S' release I'd say it is shaping up to be a good one. I know for sure a lot of people would be happy with the extra RAM regardless of if they actually need it or not, certainly seems to be something people mention a lot on here. I'd be interested to see what other improvements they give the Camera other than the increased Megapixel count and also if the base storage gets increased.
As it will come out just in time for my upgrade this is likely my new phone, just a decision between large and larger.

Same here. Not a fan of big ass phones. Cant say I love the protruding lens either. The iPhone 6 design is just not for me.
The iPhone 5/5S still perform great so not a big deal anyway. But I would have upgraded had they done 4"
On Android, it means that you can do certain actions with your hand to get the phone to do something. For example, double tap to wake, or sliding the side of your hand left to right on the screen to take a screenshot, etc. (These can and are device specific.)
I hope they let you set the video recording resolution as at 1080p it already takes too much space! I wish I could record video at 720p which is more than adequate.
You're a vocal minority. Guess you'll just have to switch to another manufacturer eventually.
However, from my anecdotal experience, most folks who swore they preferred the 4" iPhone, once they switched to the 4.7 (or even the 5.5") wouldn't go back to their small iPhone screen. You really do get used to handling and the size of the units very quickly.
I do not know if i would go to anything else then iphone, but that will be a problem for the day i can no longer get one in 4 inch
Oh really - why 2 GB RAM? I don't think anyone thinks the iPhone 6 hasn't performed perfectly fine with 1 GB.
haha yea Steve said it was the optimal size
But the problem for me is the extra width not the length
I'm surprised by the rose gold option given that the current 'Gold' option is already close to rose gold (desaturated + slight copper tint).
Rose gold made more sense on the Watch given that the 'yellow gold' option has an actual yellow gold color, making the difference between the two substantial.
I wonder if they'll keep the regular 'Gold' option like it is currently or give it more of a 'yellow gold' tone to differentiate it, of it they'll have two color options that are very similar.
Another possibility is that the Rose gold model will have a black front to differentiate it. Would look pretty good IMO.

You have nothing to worry about. The 6S and 6S+(6+S
) should get Gorilla Glass 4 just like Sammy's S6 and S6 Edge. Pretty sure Apple will call it Ion-X2 or something silly like that.edit: I should say might be Gorilla Glass. Could also be DragonTail since Apple uses Corning and Asahi.

I don't understand why people are so adamant about USB-C. All of my devices and accessories are finally almost all transitioned to lightning. Lightning works great for me and I'd prefer not to have to manage three different cables. Let's stick with lightning for a while.
the problem for me would be that i will not be able to use it one handed, and when you are missing the other hand it is a key feature
Jokes aside (i do still have both hands) for my usage 4 inch is optimal, have tried the 4,7 inch a couple of times for an extended periode of time, but the width is not for me.
I do hope that apple will see that they are throwing away customers by not offering a 4 inch model.
oh god, please no $25k Gold iPhones.
I will admit tho, i did catch myself attempting to force touch my iphone 6.

Les than one year ago Apple was telling people that 4" was the perfect size and anything larger was silly, now Apple isn't going to sell new 4" phones.
This is called the Reality Distortion Field of Apple
How long ago was it that a 32" CRT TV was considered ridiculously large? Now where are we? Time marches on.
