Wow... What does a guy like you do to your poor phones that they need to be charged multiple times a day...?
This is getting old...
As the article states, the battery capacity is on par with S5 and M8. I'm willing to bet the 6 will outlast those two devices considering how small the 5S's battery is.
That would be great, but I'll believe it when I see it. I otherwise would have no interest in the larger model, but this would make it very tempting, if it does in fact have a longer battery life as a result.
Voice your opinion on thinness vs battery life here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5L2MR7Q
So far 99% of respondents want the phone to have battery life at least as good as the current model, and over 85% want MORE battery life in the next model. The next time someone tells you you are in the minority for not being pleased as punch with the iPhone battery life, you will know the truth.

Wonder what this will do to the weight of the 5.5" iPhone 6. I don't think Apple would produce a brick though.
I agree, there has been a complete lack of leaks and rumors. But how about this rumor: There may be a phone announced at the Mac Mini event on September 9!
My prediction is that the 5.5" will be announced next week and will be available the same day as the 4.7".
Would be nice but doubtful. Apple likes their $100 increments and for good reason. Probably more like:
$299
$399
$499
Jesus, here they come. The s5 is more than 5". The G3 is more than 5". The z2 is more than 5". Spot being pedantic...
"But...but... My plastic s5! Oh noes! what will happen when people just buy all iphone models at an insanely pace? Poor me. I thought I was cool because I see the ads and they say the ****** s5 is good
"Yup, Apple could have made a statement with the 4.7" but no, they made it thin... So something no-one really cares about except Jony Ive and some fanboys here vs something real world (battery life) that would make the phone far more desirable. :\
Can not wait for this to be released. This is the iPhone I've been wanting for a long time now. With NFC and a 5.5" screen, it'll be the perfect iPhone.
Ironic comment for an item not even being made. Didn't you see my leaks? ^^

This thread doesn't even exist...
Use them? Mine doesn't last all day either, then again I don't use it as a fashion statement.
There. Fixed that for you so you don't have to eat any crow on the 9th. You're welcome.
"That larger display may also arrive at much higher pixel count which would necessitate a larger battery to support it."
Here's where it goes to hell though. The reason MacBook Air has significantly better battery life than retina Macbook Pro. The processing power to drive a higher resolution display.

I wonder if Apple are going to position the 5.5" iPhone 6, as the premium model, with extra features, over the 4.7" iPhone 6. I'm also interested to see the unlocked pricing for the 5.5" in the UK, i always buy them without contract and unlocked in the UK.
