Physical Mockup Appears to Show Larger 5.5-Inch iPhone 6 in Hand

[imageWIS]

I'll never buy a phone that big... it literately won't fit into my jean pocket... and I DON'T wear skinny jeans!

I'm pretty sure it will fit in mine, I'm just thinking it will be very uncomfortable when I bend my leg/sit down.

"It is an iPhone 6 in my pocket, AND I'm happy to see you."

 

[macs4nw]

At first I was leaning towards the 4.7 version, but I'm starting to change my mind.

With my iWatch, I'll be able to do mundane things quickly. Then, I can enjoy content consumption on my 5.5

My thoughts exactly! And a bundled deal as an option, would be great. This should also cut down on iPhone theft.

What if all these mockups and rumours are for the 6th-generation iPod Touch?

 

[Alchematron]

Count me in

Nope you wear slim with boot cut, sometimes in polyester and you like them.

 

[travis64]

ill buy it

Your making it out to be so huge 10" tablet. I can fit my mini in my gym shorts and pants back pocket. It looks a little funny but it fits. Have you seen the size difference between the air and the mini? 2" is a gigantic difference. Drop it down another 2.5" it won't look that huge trust me.

That is just too big for one hand use. I can't even imagine my wife trying to use this behemoth. Let alone fit in her purse. Unless its a shopping bag. lol Forget the small clutch purse where the current iPhone can fit perfectly in. Imagine a nice out for dinner lugging this thing around? To each his/her own I guess.

It's a new product

One of the ones Cook mentioned. It's a 7" phone and it's called the iPhad.

You heard it here first.

 

[brdeveloper]

I may believe it all, except the protruding camera. Not Apple's style, but if it's true, there's going to be a lot of issues with broken and scratched cameras.
Also, the phone will no longer lay flat, and Apps that measure surface leveling will fail unless a case is used.
That phone looks more like an HTC than an Apple product.

Apply Lemon Law to your rMBP. Three replacements is too much.

I could apply for exchanging to a brand new IR-ed, yellowish, early-2013 rMBP. Brazil is not USA. Apple is not so generous to us.

 

[JGRE]

Is it just me, or am I seeing a black squared object that could as well be any smartphone like a Apple, a Samsung or what ever?????

These predictions/mock-ups are getting embarrassing more and more.

 

[paradox00]

It would be hilarious if all of these mockups were all for the 5c replacement (with 5s internals) and the iPhone 6 design was completely different. Leak the midrange phone design to keep the flagship design secret seems like a reasonable strategy, also explains the lack of a dual led flash.

 

[fullauto]

Minus the horrible protruding camera, I know probably half a dozen people (that switched to a galaxy for screen size and poor eyesight) who would buy it.

 

[apolloa]

That looks BIG! It'll certainly please all those who are happy with their current iPhone 4 and 4S models haha.
Just as well the 4S is a decent handset still.

 

[macchiato2009]

another news based on a stupid chinese mockup

 

[DonutHands]

so they're already ditching the two tone flash? doubt it.

probably not ditching it. most likely using a different LED with adjustable color so they dont have to rely on 2 different LEDs.

 

[dilbert99]

That protruding camera is ridiculous. No way it sticks out like that.

Once you stick a case on it it will be flush

 

[Ingot]

This is the phone that came with the space ship stolen by Zaphod Beeblebrox outsides Milliways.

Oh that guy Zaphod. What a character...

 

[Deacon-Blues]

That's a clown-sized phone. I really hope Apple doesn't go down the Android road of making dinner platter-sized phones. I'm not even sure I can deal with a 4.7" phone but I am willing to at least give it a try.

 

[Aeolius]

I want an iPhone that looks like this, or no deal:

 

[Arran]

That protruding camera is ridiculous. No way it sticks out like that.

Agreed. Placing it flat on it's back on any surface would eventually damage the camera lens and create stress in the surrounding area. Fake.

It looks like someone maybe got hold of a prototype case and poured resin into it - using it like a mould: The resin flowed into the camera cutout - thus creating the raised area.

 

[Lopov Jack]

Any phone bigger than 5" looks dumb. Today I saw a guy talking on Asus ZenPhone 6... What a plonker, he looked ridiculous.

I hope Apple won't go bigger than 4,7" and I hope next iPhone would have nicer design than those mock-ups.

C'mon Jony, don't piss us, please...

So tired of the "It's too big crowd." Here's a novel idea, don't get the bigger model!?! First off, too big for what? Why don't you put the little hipster, skinny jeans back in the closet, most people I see wearing those jeans are neither skinny, nor hip, so what's the point? Furthermore, for those exclaiming "I may as well be holding an iPad to my head:" 1.) You shouldn't be making phone calls in public anyway (so don't worry about what it looks like)! I swear ... this generation ... do you realize how annoying it is to be around people flapping away with a private conversation as though the strangers around you really want to hear what you have to say? We don't. 2.) The majority of us use our phones to interact and engage with media - hence, bigger screens are a must. Phone calls? What is this, 1999? Calls should be short, sweet, and to the point. No, I don't want a tiny screen to compensate for the activity I use my iPhone 3% of the time. A HUGE screen that I can enjoy for the other 97% of the time? Yes please! This concludes today's public service announcement. *I'm serious about the Jeans people ... give it a rest.

LOL! Best big screen defense ever. Still not convinced but enjoyed it.

Hope the protruding rear camera rumour is not true. Doesn't look good on the iPod touch.

Thank you for writing this...saves me the time. You summed up my feelings exactly. People want larger phones, and Apple is about to finally provide. All the naysayers will approve once the Apple group-think migrates it's opinion towards the latest iPhone...and it will migrate.
