There are a large number of people who like smaller phones. Just like there are lots of people who like larger phones. I know plenty of people who bought iPhones, on the basis of them being premium and not massive.
The market will emerge when people start upgrading from iPhone 4S's, 5's and 5S's in larger numbers. A huge proportion of iPhone 6 upgraders are Android users, not existing iPhone users.
It depends...if you are in the US and you are part of the NEXT, JUMP, or other yearly upgrade option, this looks like a great upgrade.
To me just the 12MP Camera, A9 upgrade and Force touch will justify it - if it costs you nothing to upgrade...
The 5C has a a sapphire lens cover too.
You don't know that it won't be a better camera. Extra megapixels, a lager image sensor, a better lens with lower aperture, higher ISO capabilities, etc.. are all important factors that can improve image quality and reduce noise.
I hope we'll see improvements in all these areas. With the exception of the iPhone 6's video stabilization and slo-mo, the camera upgrade was pretty weak and many aren't happy with the way it reduces noise. If they're smart this upgrade will be a significant leap forward.
Thank you both!
I did indeed forget that.
Obviously, the point stands that:
1)Apple does NOT only upgrade iPhone chips only every other year
2)The "X" series chip is NOT a slight upgrade that is used in the "S" model phones
Honestly... I wonder how op got that into his head? Lol.
That pic on the left looks more like the result of a dirty lens vs. a scratched lens.
I am having tab reloading issues on my iPhone 6 now. And this is only having 2 tabs open and no other apps open. I can't be the only person this is happening to. This may be a 1st world problem, but is totally unacceptable for the latest flagship iPhone.
Lenses typically protrude.
If people want to continue seeing better cameras in their phones, many new phones are probably going to look a little more like...cameras.
Very true indeed, however redundant as most goes right into a case immediately after purchase as did mine for other reasons, protruding camera? What protruding camera.....
My 5 needs a new battery, but it is holding on by the skin of its teeth. Not excited enough about the 6, really, to consider replacing the 5. We'll see.
I'm in a fairly unusual position. I bought a 6 a few months ago, February if I remember correctly. I used it for a couple of weeks and then realized that I HATE phones that are that big. I traded for my wife's 5C and like it a lot. Sure the 6 was more capable but it felt like I was talking into a dinner plate. You wouldn't think less than an inch more would make that much of a difference but it really did, for me at least. On the other hand the iPhone 6's screen wasn't big enough for me to do anything else with. I continued to carry my iPad along for writing, e-mail and such. For me at least it was really the WORST of both worlds.
I figure I'll get at least three years out of the 5C. If at that time Apple is not offering a 4" model I don't know what I'll do.
I'm hoping to now purchase my iPhones, the way I purchase my iPads. Every 3 years.
That was suppose to be the iPhone 6 Plus, but they totally gimped the RAM and I believe it's the cause of a few issues on the 6 Plus and iOS 8.
They better get it right.

If you define "viable" as tens of millions of units then yes, there is a viable market for a 4" iPhone.
