I think the 5.5 was in testing. But don't see one being released/announced on Tuesday.

I'm not an engineer but I can't imagine that the 5.5" would be that much different (harder) from the 4.7" (to manufacture). Perhaps challenges with the screen or battery, but the rest of the hardware should be nearly identical to the 4.7".

If other manufacturers have been selling large screen phone for years, I can't imagine Apple would have that much trouble getting them produced.




:apple:
 
Pretty sure it'll happen but I don't think they'll have it released alongside the 4.7" version. Perhaps announce it but say they'll talk about it more down the road and have the focus on the 4.7" version.

I think it'll be announced. The fact that a working model hasn't been leaked because it's not in production yet. Hope it's gonna be just a bigger iPhone without any extra fancy features

Amazon (UK) are already showing 5.5" cases in stock.

Some are sold by Amazon themselves, others are sold by "Keep in Case" (which is Spigen UK) and fulfilled by Amazon (so stocked in Amazon's warehouse(s).

Either way, it's coming, and soon.

Reminds me so much of the "no way is iPhone getting LTE" threads. Funny stuff.
 
This is another testament to improved secrecy though. We're less than 24 hours out, and we know next to nothing about the iWatch, and no one can even agree on whether the 5.5" even exists.
 
... I DECLARE. There WILL NOT be a 5.5" iPhone in the foreseeable future. Come September 9th 2014, if I am wrong, I expect to see this thread bumped with "I told you so!."

But if I'm correct, I will be the one bumping it. ;)

Bumped day of keynote for praise/ridicule purposes.

OP, you were totally (TBD). You should feel completely (TBD). You're instincts about apple products are (TBD) no one on this forum will ever (TBD) you again.


I'll update after the keynote as appropriate. :p
 
Guys remember a 4.8 inch iPhone was "leaked" well before the iPhone 5s launch. Of course no working model was ever shown pre iPhone 5s launch.

Same thing with 5.5 inch iPhone. There is no working leak cause its not ready for release this year.

I would be shocked if there is 5.5 inch iPhone.
 
If there is a 5.5 iphone.

Then it is only fitting that 1080p should apologise to the families of owners of the 5.5 phone.
 
If there is a 5.5 phone it will not arrive at the same time as the 4.7. My guess would be 2 months later. It may be announced but won't be available.

If for no other reason than marketing for the Christmas Season and sales of the bread and butter model at launch.

Hopefully true, then I can save two months wages, everyone wins
 
Everyone is wrong!! The iPhone 6 came out 2 years ago, these are all fake!!
