Colour reproduction I always find very pleasing on the iPhone. only in very poor lighting do I never need any real post correction. Other phones I have either found very washed out, over saturated or very noisy.
Got a tip for us?

By failed you mean sold more units than every Android handset? Outsold every smartphone except the iPhone 5s. Damn failure is pretty good in this game. I should add, I don't imagine Apple putting OIS in one size and not the other, but I could be wrong.
The camera is the differentiator between the 4.7" & 5.5" models? Uh... Seems to me the screen size is what is going to motive people to buy one over the other. The 5.5" could have a 4K screen & I still want the 4.7" version. I'm sure those that want the 5.5" feel the same if opposite was true. Better camera is nice, but doubt that us what gets the wallet out.
You might wait till Apple actually does something and save your disrespect from the Analysts that are wrong 70-80% of the time.
Not everyone sees a larger screen as a premium. Sadly, I feel a larger screen to be a burden.
I really don't want to be forced to buy the hardware I don't want for the software and internals that I do.
If I were Tim Cook, I'd make the 5.5" the flagship with better specs, extra RAM, 4K screen, better battery life, faster processor and a better camera just to irritate everyone on MacRumors. 
The 4.7" will also feature Apple's first plastic screen.

I heard the 5.5 will weigh about 50% less than the 4.7 as well
If Apple can't eat $5.00 per phone, something is very wrong. I like Apple because they *appear* to put product first. A move like this seems to put profit first. And with the low powered iMac's, I don't like where this is going. This is a move a struggling company does, not the #1 tech company in the world. If you have a better camera, put it in both.
This is what a company does to maximize profits. It makes it's customers pay more for the better features.
Well the Apple way has been traditionally to have a worse camera in the iPad than in the iPhone, so this bigger iPhone will have a better camera...

So much this. Camera quality is one reason I was never interested in an Android device (until recently). I've would LOVE to have OIS but I really don't want a 5.5" phone.
Then again, remember that an analyst's clients are investors and as such their main job is to manipulate the market for their clients' benefit.
I don't get the "a lot of people are going to be pissed off" sentiment. Get over yourselves. You will have the choice of buying the larger phone. If you don't want the size, it's not like the 4.7" won't take pictures. The current phones take excellent pictures, this is just additional icing on the cake. Did everyone REALLY think they wouldn't somehow offer other advantages of the larger phone? I mean heck, should Samsung not include the stylus features in the Note because it might butt-hurt the S5 owners?
agree, pro iphone 6 5.5 in, air 4.7 in, and mini 5s.

totally, agree!! If you want extra stuff, pay extra!
Probably people are complaining because not everyone (myself included) wants a phablet. I figured the 5.5 and the 4.7 would be speced the same (with the 5.5 demanding a premium over today's iPhone prices while the 4.7 is priced the same and the 5S becomes the lower tier) so I hope this is a junk rumor, but I really sincerely hope that the 5.5 isn't the sole flagship model. I really don't plan on buying a phone that I can't fit in my pocket, and 4.7 is pushing it already. This particular rumor is probably wrong but in general I'm sure that this is a concern for a lot of people who just really don't care to have a gigantic phone.
Touch ID in the 5C is a bit different. The difference between the 5S and the 5C is features, not size. This is the first iteration where we're looking at new widths for the iPhone, and different widths being released at the same time or close to each other.
This sounds plausible. Apple has always had issues with component supply constraints due to the number of devices they sell - from displays to fingerprint scanners.
If theyre looking to get an additional premium charge for the 5.5, a combination of larger display using sapphire and some other enhancements like OIS make sense. Honestly, when Joe Consumer looks at the outstanding photos from a 4.7 model and sees the price difference, OIS wont make a difference even if its technically superior. Plus, it sounds like theres some space considerations for OIS that would be offset by the larger 5.5 chassis[?]
iPhones are now our main cameras, so Im all for as many camera improvements as possible.
