Should there be a 4.7in iPhone 7 Pro ?

Not terribly sure why I was quoted, but thank you?

You seemed to be suggesting that the only difference between the 4.7" and larger phone is the camera (and physically larger battery). While true in the past, I was just pointing out that the OP seemed to be referencing the rumour that this year there will be a "Pro" model with more RAM and other improvements that will only come in the 5.5" form factor. I wasn't sure if you realized that. Sorry if I assumed incorrectly.

"no-compromise option"? A lot of Android phones would surpass it in specs and even performance. The smart connector should be present on all iPhones, and would be useful for charging docks and especially battery cases. The downsize is it goes against the clean look they are after with this model.
The only advantage to the pro would be for photographers. In that case, the large screen would make sense and the smart connector could be used for lighting accessories or something (as well as battery cases, etc).

The antenna lines aren't nice but there is nothing wrong with the bezels (although they make the Plus extra large). I would prefer a separate home button than smaller bezels on the top and bottom. The side bezels are alright but they could be smaller.

I actually have the opposite opinion. The antenna lines don't bother me at all, but the bezels should be reduced one way or another. Other phones that are the same size as the 6/6s offer 5" displays, and phones the size of the plus models have 5.7". Apple sacrifices display area for bezel symmetry.

Yes I think they should be shortened too, especially needed on the Plus. I hope they drop the symmetry and shorten the top bezel, but you also have to remember that shortening bezels is significantly reducing internal space, which is getting even more important as iPhones get thinner.

Yeah, that's the other thing. No one has complained that iPhones are too thick for a long, long time. If anything, people are starting to complain that they're too thin! So maybe Apple should trim the bezel and make the phone slightly thicker to compensate.
