As a heads up, here is a 5.5" iPhone poll.
This approach does mean that the 4" iPhone wouldn't have the latest components, so that would be a downer for those who want this display size.
That's possible, but another option is if Apple uses the 5C approach multiple times to put old 4.7" internals minus the larger display into a 4" phone so that "new" 4" iPhones can be released for the forseeable future.

Of course nothing concrete, but the timing of this cracks me up after all the "there won't be a 5.5 in. Phone" I've read this week #
Seriously? People are still selling the controlled supply shtick? You've gotta be kidding me. The only controls limiting the supply of iPhones are the many natural laws of physics.
Also, Apple regularly announces the number of devices sold during launch periods. Selling millions of devices per day doesn't require an illusion of popularity.
This. This is exactly what I am thinking. A treatment prior to anodizing.

They had multi colored iMacs since the 90s and introduced multi colored iPod Nanos and Touches many years ago. I'd say they've been open minded for quite some time now.
Since the 90's, yes, which is why I said "new generation apple-esque" - - Apple in the distant past has been very open minded and very fun with their designs (Cube, colorful Clamshell Laptops, colorful iMacs, lampshade design, etc,) but lately not so much.
although good point on the Nanos, and even the iPod Touches, but I honestly felt that they just marked that those products as a lower tier item and thus were fine with colors to market to younger crowds and such, while iPhone would be a higher tier and more "professional" and serious product, so wouldn't have colorful options. Same as the 5C to the 5S, where it's kind of a kiddy and cheaper version of the main. This would be somewhat like having them release the Mac Pro in colorful options, rather than having it stay black and serious and have the Mac Mini be the colorful lower model.
Having colorful options on a main current generation device would be a nice change.
The treatment prior to anodization makes the metal a dull grayish color. Those trays are anodized blue.
But like every other part we've seen, weather or not they for the actual iPhone is the real question.

There is no way Apple cannot meet the demand year after year for good few months... Apple is making less supply to create the initial blast, making people thinking everyone is going crazy over the new whatever iPhone...
There is no natural law of physics..If Apple willing to do som they can. They want to create the initial blast, so they will announce:" look we are out if stock already, everybody is going crazy over our new iPhone. You should hurry to buy as well." Then all you see is Apple sold out iPhone in every major news outlets...
