Ohh I hear you I'm not saying we don't need it I've just lived without it (deleting games I don't use and redownload info when I do).
Bring on the 128 I won't be buying it but I'm sure some will.
Got a tip for us?

I have no idea what I'll buy this year. A few years ago I knew a guy with the original Samsung Note and it felt too big to me (I have tiny hands), but if the 5.5" is the only one with some features I may buy anyway. I'm just concerned about typing. I have trouble typing on my iPhone 5 in landscape mode. I think I'll have to hold both to decide what feels better if they do two sizes. Luckily, 128GB doesn't matter to me since I have a 16GB now. I'm out of space and hoping for 32 this time, but 128GB isn't needed for me.
Common core math fail.
Removing 1 size in 3 colors from 4 carriers would remove 12 from 72 models.
I'm quite the opposite I rarely even use the 5s nowadays and have become so dependent on the S pen features of the Note 3. I'd really like to jump on the iPhone 6, 5.5" option but what will differentiate it from other phablets?
Not trying to say you don't need it, I have a 32GB, because of my music library, but I hardly listen to it all & with iTunes Match, I don't really need that much space, I have a long of Apps but I could tell you that about 80% of them I don't use regularly. I can understand as screen sizes increase app sizes will too.

people are comparing the two as if they are in the same category. ones a phone and one is a phablet.
Now i know that sounds ridiculous, and thats because it is indeed ridiculous. but thats what is trending right now, phablets. I know that word started off as a joke but its now taken seriously. So when people complain about one over the other, its really not like that, two separate categories.
Im not saying i believe it should be that way, I'm saying thats how others see it. And my other point was this -- People with 5.5 inch screens intend on watching WAY more data (movies, games, tv shows) than people with the 4.0,4.7 intend on doing, thats why the 5.5 has the most GBs. again, maybe not my belief but thats just the way it is. 5.5 = data 4.7 = phone calls /texts <-- in the most general sense

ohhhh i think you'd be loving it after about a week of use
i was a fool to believe this too. i originally wanted the 4.7 for this exact reason.. then one day my buddy pulled his note 3 (with a case) out of his pocket. i asked him to let me experiment. i was wearing the same kind of jeans i wear everyday and not only does it fit but it falls right it. its not EVEN A TIGHT FIT!!!! are these people wearing like super tailored suit pockets? i just don't understand it. even fit in the front pocket, it was a little uncomfortable but it fit. and who the heck puts their phone in their front pocket anyways? it even fits in the pocket on a dress shirt, i mean a little sticks out the top but the fact that it fits there kills this argument people have in my opinion
Yes, it's true. The 5.5 will exclusively feature an OIS camera and option for 128GB RAM. It will also only be available in hipster orange. /sarc.
They can make a phone with 1TB of storage for all I care, but the base model needs to be bumped to 32GB and stay at the base model price. Even with the cloud and streaming technology lowering our dependence on local device storage 16GB is too low for a modern smartphone. 32GB is a perfect starting point for most people and the heavy users can still upgrade if they so choose.
Though most could "get by" with 16GB, I'm willing to bet those people would love the additional flexibility of 32GB but get priced out by Apple's crazy $100 memory markup on an already expensive phone.

And I really just quoted it, so I'm good too.
Same happens everywhere, seems like finally some non-Apple devices are causing excessive use of that "meme".
Well hopefully the iPod Touch is a good guide and storage will double for $50 on the outright prices in the next round. Although I do suspect they'd keep the 5c to only 16Gb to get it down to $449 outright.
The storage they use are just a bunch smaller chips packaged together right?
I wonder if they couldn't get 24Gb packages like you get with CF cards. So the iPhone 5c/s stay around with 24/48 options and the expected price drop.
Yes, but you will buy one or the other. That's all Apple really cares about.
Apple has had staggered releases of iOS devices before, mostly iPads. First gen it was WiFi then a month later WiFi+3G. Also iPad and original iPad mini were staggered then the iPad Air and iPad mini Retina were.
I don't think Apple likes to do it this way, but sometimes parts for one model are scarcer so there is no other option except to push then entire launch back, which is really a non-option.
At any rate most people know ahead of time which size they want, so they'll either pre-order the 4.7 or wait for the 5.5 if, in fact, it is a staggered launch. In this instance I don't think people waiting all this time for a large screen iPhone are going to say "screw it" a month before release and buy a Galaxy. If they wanted a Galaxy they'd already own one. So very little risk to Apple of lost sales.
It's the antenna. It always looks odd on the white model because it stands out. It's no different than the 5 and 5s except it's filled in on those. But when it first came out everyone thought it looked stupid. People got use to it or put a case over it and forgot about it. Really not a huge deal at all. Complainers just don't have anything else to moan about. Who cares about a backside that gets covered up anyway.
