The problem is that iPhone with 4.7" screen may have bigger size than Note 3 because of the "iconic" home button and stupid design of the upper side of the phone.
Um, no. You can mark your ****in' word all you want, there are plenty of us who will not be buying a larger iPhone. I vote with my wallet and I like smaller phones. It's the one and ONLY reason I bought an iPhone - because they put top of the line components in to a 4" device. If that changes, and they go with a 4.7" and discontinue the 4", my next phone won't be made by Apple. It really is that simple.
The 5s is already too big for some people. Some of my old cell phones were even smaller than an iPhone 4, and thus much easier to pocket without any bulges, or palm without any parts sticking out.
The Moto X benefits from the lack of home button, which the iPhone obviously can't shed. Also, you're really going to start judging the design of the phone based on the front glass? Remove the front glass from the Moto X, Galaxy S5, Oppo 7, Nexus 5, LG G2, and more and you'll see they're all remarkably the same. The only difference is the iPhone has a larger home button that gives haptic feedback and can quickly read your fingerprints.
I am sure a lot of people would upgrade to now have a 5x6 icon grid with no other notable changes :-/
It's amazing how many negative comments already and the phone isn't even out yet! It's human nature I reckon, your iPhone will never satisfy your hungry needs, it will be either "too big" or "too small", "oh that basel is too thick" or "oh the same boring design" or "it's just an enlarged 5S" and so on.
People wanted bigger screen? They got it!according to the leaks anyway. Nope, it doesn't end there, yet... there's still something else we need to complain about, don't we?
Apple listen up, people want an entirely redesigned iPhone but in doing so make sure you address everyone's needs first, make it perfect, okay? Screen size, basel thickness, highest camera specs possible and reduce the price, can't be that hard?! Just be prepared to have your stock crash on hear about lack of innovation.
You done yet? I seem to remember when Apple moved from the 3GS to the beautifully redesigned 4, most customers were blown away with the new design (though craked back panels was an issue, the 4 is arguably the nicest iPhone design to date.)
So as a paying Apple customer, I don't feel it's unreasonable to be expecting something nicely refreshed for the 6. This front panel, whether fake or real, is just boring. After 7 years, I think people are finally ready for a front panel overhaul/redesign. We'll see if Apple is.
It reminds me of the iPhone 4 leaks; people lined up to say it was "the ugliest phone ever." Well, four years later and it's treated with some of the highest regards.
I was thinking the same but more along the lines that it's clear that a lot of people will require anti-depressant medication when it will be made official that 4" are no longer
Better If they don't. There would be a lot less whining here if they just off themselves.
Get rid of those horrible bezels which nobody likes Every mock up shows a bezeled screen yet ere probably years away from seeing it unfortunatelyJust looks like an oversized iPhone. While that's fine and all, I kind of wished they had taken the opportunity to at least re-fresh the front design a little and perhaps shrink those ugly bezels.
My fear is that to Apple at least, they feel that their bezels and home button have bcome so "iconic", that they define the iPhone apart from the competition. Really hope that is not the case as the front panel has become very stale IMO
Get rid of those Bezels. Every Mock-up shows a bezeless screen and yet Apple keeps those Bezels as if it's attractive. We're probably years away from a bezeled screen unfortunately. Or could it be the sapphire glass is for the back and that Apple is moving the home button and Touch ID to the back???

Not so much the left and right side bezels, but the big ugly ones top and bottom.
Which of these ones is the more recent Galaxy S?
(Tip: the screen increased only from 4.99'' to 5.1'')
Yeah but also disappointing. I was hoping for a less bezel at top and bottom design with more focus on the screen.
This is just the same form factor of the iPhone 5 scaled up.
That's weak.
Exactly, and they will never go larger than the 4s nor stoop to making an ipad mini.
Closer look at alleged 'iPhone 6' front panel suggests 5.1" screen with 16:9 ratio

Funny, since that exactly splits the difference between the two sizes being suggested (4.7 and 5.5). Offering two larger sizes seems a little silly to me, but Im reasonable convinced there will be at least one [larger] new size.
If the 5s is too big for some people, then they need to go back to using flip phones. I'm sure they can find a Motorola razor in good condition on ebay.
In the above pic the new phone is 2.34 if I remember right? If so and this does not fit in your pocket you are wearing pants smaller than my 8 year old niece, HER pockets are larger than that.
That makes sense ... the upper/lower bezels aren’t defined by the overall device size, it’s basically the required room on the lower section for the button and a matching upper section for symmetry (plus some room is needed for the camera, etc.).
Which of these ones is the more recent Galaxy S?

it is actually very easy to tell which is the new one. the galaxy s4 has more rounded corners whereas the s5 is more blunt at the corners. the s5 looks more like the gs2 did.
It would be ridiculous to cater to the tiny hand minority and ignore the majority. Wait for sales numbers on the larger phones (if they come). Don't forget that apple could care less for you as an individual, they are about making money.
I hope this is real. 4.7" is a nice size upgrade, it's nothing crazy big and is a nice progression. Why people think they need a 6" screen for a phone is crazy to me.
that article doesn't make it clear if they mean 5.1 for the screen or the whole front panel.
