This whole thing is pretty weird; they haven't even officially announced any event for September 9th, just over two weeks away!
Maybe the whole thing is a giant fake out!

We'll find those WMD's yet...
Like George W. Bush before you, I can't help but admire your commitment.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Has anyone on here used a 5.5 inch phone? What do you think about it? Seems too big. But maybe using it makes you love it.
One thing I will say about smaller screens on phones that no one talks about is that they do preserve some privacy, which in turn becomes a security feature. Phones are things you use in public all the time and carry sensitive information. When I see someone with a Samsung, I can read everything off their screen.

Wow. They really are releasing two increased size phones. I'm really surprised to see this. But don't get me wrong I'm all over that 5.5
Is there any purpose in these iPhone leak articles any longer, I mean pretty well everyone who cares knows that the next iPhone is going to look like the ipod touch more or less.
It's possible that the first batch of 5.5" iPhones have been produced in an entirely different factory (i.e. Pegatron) where there's no leaker and/or the security is better, and that could explain why we haven't seen any major leak for the 5.5" previous to this one.
Remember that there was no leaks previous to the unveiling of the latest iPod touch and nano. (Which I think were produced by Pegatron).

months ago, i wanted the 4.7 when hearing of two possible sizes. now as its getting closer i think i want the 5.5 and now its looking like it does and doesn't and then does exist again!
i have now simply decided this- I BUY IPHONE 6 ASAP. and I'm all good !

You might be sarcastic all you want, but those bands are indeed ugly. It makes me wish it's fake. I haven't used cases on my phones but I might consider a skin on the iPhone 6.
makes the 4.7 one seem oddly small lol
how are those bands more ugly than those horrible random glass bits we currently have on the iPhone 5/5S back? i think those are by far worse looking and i own one lol at least the top and the bottom match the middle now

I don't know why people won't believe Apple would create a phablet. It's huge in China and that alone is reason enough for Apple to create one. Remember, not everyone can afford both a smartphone and tablet; especially in developing nations.
Personally, I find them horrible cos they're not very portable, impossible to use with one hand and are no substitute for an iPad. But that's just me... I love being able pull my very light and compact iPhone 5S out of my pants pocket and in one single motion have it unlocked using Touch ID and opening apps, checking stocks and typing iMessages with one hand while I sip coffee using my other hand.

I agree that the bands are ugly. And I think "oh youre gonna cover up your ugly phone with a case anyway" is about the lamest excused I've ever heard.
...But I also have some measure of faith that the final product will not look as ugly as it appears to in a few bad photos of leaked unfinished, unassembled parts
Looks like it's real, but I think it makes absolutely no sense to get a phone that's bigger than your hand. It's a couple inches away from the iPad mini, why not just buy that.
