Perhaps the 4.7 will be the flagship. I noticed in general teens have a stronger desire for bigger phones. For playing games and such. And of course they have less money.

As a teen I don't have massive hands. And skinny jeans are still a thing. And girls don't really have massive hands either. They don't even have pockets. My iPod 2G is still just barely fitting in my pocket.
 
Also, your pseudo-intellectual pop psychology profile of "working class" folks who want the latest iPhone is bunk.

No sadly it isn't, grab a sociology book and you'll know why

"pseudo-intellectual pop psychology" I know of a few people who are turning in their graves right now

So, what is iPhone Pro then?? :mad:

Very professional iPhone (with darker iOS interface) for real movie editing and professional music. Very professional for the real pro's. Starting at 2,700€. But it doesn't come with a screen or a battery you gotta buy them extra. Only available in black.
 
AirPhone I please?

I want the !


AirPhone please... I just wanna talk through thin air to someone in the highest possible resolution and reception. Oh! You're in front of me, we can even touch each other instead of sexting? WOAH! I really want the AirPhone please.

Love you all!
 
So a 16GB model for the 5.5-inch but not for the smaller 4.7-inch? Is that what's coming from this "report"?

Also the bigger phone will be called the "iPhone Air" but the 4.7-inch (which will be lighter) won't be called that?

Makes no sense to me.

iPad Air, iPad Mini. Maybe it'll be the same with iPhone. Either way, "Air" isn't always the the smaller, thinner model.

It still works, doesn't it? I'd choose the 5 as my "forever" phone just because I like the 4" screen.

Anymore.. barely. It's sloooooow when compared to the 5/5S.

Well, let's hope Apple knows this and will release also a 4 inch phone on par with the rest of the models.
 
I don't like that Apple is making an iPhone with a bigger screen. It's good if it brings more people to use iPhones, but I'm still going to use the 4" one if it's an option. And why is the 5.5" option bad if I can still use a 4" one? Well, remember when Apple used to care about the Mac before they made something else? Same idea. It's like Apple can only focus on one thing at a time despite being one of the largest corporations in the world.

Yeah, it's slower. I suppose you need the speed for that MySQL database server you're hosting on your iPhone. :rolleyes:

Yeah well I've also written numerous times that I could be proven wrong if Apple ever did launch a much larger iPhone - and made it useable and not hideous looking. I remember when Jim Dalrymple slated all the smaller tablets when Apple didn't have one, and then Apple came long with the iPad Mini and changed everything. So I know opinions can change. I hope to god Apple never goes as big as a 6 inch phablet though (which is what my comment in that other thread was referring to).

You've said several times that Apple wouldn't make a bigger iPhone period. Then you said they would never make a 5.5" phone. Now you've changed it to 6". What's your posting style called?
 
I can believe that. I had a feeling when they released the iPad Air that the iPhone would follow. The iPhone # was getting pretty high as is. I think the iPhone air will attract some more people as well. People will think wow this is totally new rather than just an increment.

Little bummed about it coming with the standard 16gb. But you can't blame apple for milking the people on hd space that's where they really up their profit margins.
 
I wonder if the 5.5" 16GB is going to be $299 and the 4.7" 32GB $199? Or maybe they'll both be $299? Of course we don't know what they were talking about with the $100 increase rumor, neither, one or both. The 5.5" will be pricey if it's !6GB 299, 32GB 399, 64GB 499, 128GB 599. So off contract it would be 749, 849, 949, and 1049? Ouch if true.
 
If I had to guess the prices of the next iPhone they would be:

4.7": (on contract)
16 GB:199
32 GB:299
64 GB:399

5.5": (on contract)
16 GB:299
32 GB:399
64 GB:499
128 GB:599
 
Ok, so what i find strange is this. You have a macbook air. Everyone knows its the thinner smaller laptop. Yet you make the larger iphone the air. And both are the same thickness. Surely if theres a smaller sized iphone 6, that would be the air? Unless the 5.5" is the only phone this year?!
 
Is anyone else creeped out by this? Are you watching him through his bedroom window too? Yikes!
Clearly obsessed looking for enemies. Stalking behavior, must not have a happy life.

iPhone Air? Come on Apple, you're capable of far better than reusing the Air moniker over, over & over. :eek:
 
Not too early. I think many people buy Apple products with a two year cycles. So its time for the iphone 5 users (like me) to get one, and iphone 5s users to wait until next year.

The good thing is that iphones live a very long time in smartphone years. I heard of people still using 3GS . So if you have iPhone5s and happy with it, you can keep using it until 2018 probably.
