That is my hope...they keep multiple sizes. The moto x is a very small 4.7" phone, so that or smaller works. Granted a lot of the reason the moto x feels so good in hand is the form. I doubt apple will have a curved back.
Got a tip for us?

I think they could take this approach.
Personally I think there will be 4.7" and 5.5" iPhones within the next year.
If there will be both 4.7" and 5.5" devices, then I'd be surprised if the larger one did not have a $50-$100 premium over the smaller one for equal capacities.
Oh God no.
If they come out with this, they better keep the smaller form factor. There's no way my hands are big enough for this thing.
I personally believe that this is a knock off. I think Apple would remove the bezel completely and attempt to keep the same form factor as close as possible.

Can't wait for the 5,5 inch personallythe battery life should get a nice boost on these bigger models too.
Don't get your hopes up Ive will design it as thin as possible to impress his Burberry friends and it'll have the same battery life as every other iphone.
True but I wouldn't believe that the note and iphone 6 would be a better comparison compared to the iphone 6 and galaxy s5 or m8. If they would release the 5.5 inch screen as well then I could see the price being $300 because the 5.5 iphone would be in the same category as the note.
i really hope that this is just an option and not a minimum.
I understand that a lot of people want bigger phones and that is fine by me but to me I don't. I hate the look of it. My sister has Samsung S3 ( I think ) and although the screen is nice for movies etc. I hate the size. My iPhone 4 is the item I used the most every day so now that I'm ready to upgrade I want the same portability. I was ok with 5/5S as the screen size made sense and there was no real sacrifice but this is a monster! I hope Apple will do 4" 4.7" & 5.5" cause I really don't wanna lose that choice.
If there is something to go bigger then its 17" rMBP. That I understand
Same goes for Cinema Displays - bring back 30" screens and UPDATE them!

Man that's huge. I really like the svelte form factor of the current phone. maybe they'll have three sizes? Oh well, when The wife's 4 bites it I guess I'll be getting one of these. Actually I'll probably just pick up a 64GB 5S if they don't keep a 4" around.
This is true.
This is true.
With Photoshop's perspective warp and using the iPhone 5s as reference I get the new screen as being somewhere between 4.7 and 4.8 Inches diagonally.
So it's probably 4.7 as the two screens aren't exactly parallel with each other.
My Note 2 fits just fine in all of my pockets and it's larger than the rumored "smaller" iPhone 6. What kind of pants do you wear? Super duper slim?
Sort of what I'm wondering about all these people griping about size. I have the HTC One (M8) with a 5" screen and I can't even feel it in my pants pocket. Then again, I'm not a hipster and I don't wear skinny jeans. I also have no issues typing on the screen in either landscape or portrait.
I couldn't disagree more. To me, both the Moto X and the S4 look constrained and kinda claustrophobic. The bezel needs to be large enough to frame the screen nicely. It looks better on the Moto X, possibly because it's black... And your point about the fingerprint sensor is just wrong; the circular design allows them to ignore the angle, making it easier for anyone to use (left/right hand, different sizes, portrait/landscape, etc.). Your point about this just being a blown-up iPhone 5 is also wrong. If the bezel were anywhere near the same proportion as the iPhone 5 it would be appear HUGE at this size. It is much smaller, just not so small as to make the screen look like it's been glued on, and that it barely fits the design. In those pictures, the iPhone looks much, much better, imho. The device is a complete thing, not just a screen. And I think Apple's design is more appealing in that regard.
Phantom Arms and Legs
Has no one noticed the purple shirt with an arm coming out of it and pants with no body?
Am I looking at this picture wrong, or are people so focused in on the white bezel they see nothing else?

exactly if a 4.7" phone does not fit in your pocket than those pockets are not meant to put anything in they are just there for cosmetic reasons
I wear dress pants to work and my S3 4.7" fits loosley in the pocket
So 59,69mm for screen width. Add 2mm to each side, you get 63,69mm, around the 64mm from rumours.
heh, that's pretty funny! Of course, it's probably for the sake of anonymity...
Wtf? This can't be real! You ask why?
Assuming this is the 4.7 inch one why is it THIS BIG? Many people in these forums have done the calculations including myself, and a 4.5 inch 720p display fits inside the current 5s while retaining the home button and the symmetric bezel all around with some good engineering Apple is capable of doing. So why go much bigger and piss people off for a lousy .2 inches while they could have gone 4.5" and kept everyone happy?
And for those that want a much larger phone 5.5" offering should be perfect, while the 4.5" version keeps the same dimensions.

I think your looking at it wrong, you can see his full body and head through the front panel, he is bent over
Man, I was hoping for a new design...just looks like a enlarged iPhone 5/5S. If this is indeed the 4.7", I can't imagine how ridiculous the 5.5" will look.
