He got banned.

I want to see the white one! They usually introduce the iPhones by showing it in white first. They chose black this time.
 
Just shocked there is 5.5 inch model. I was one of those who doubted it.

Saying all that. I will order the 64gb model
 
HAHA!!! this is awesome, after all those months of berating people and talking down to people who dared mention an iPhone 5.5.......and then they make it 1080p for added irony.

hahahha, came here just to GLOAT and laugh.. where is 1080p? :D:D:cool:






:apple:
 
It's interesting that so much 4.7 stuff leaked in comparison to the 5.5. I was in the camp of 'delayed' but it appears all the leakers just were able to more easily get their hands on the smaller one.
 
1080p's user profile now says "In Time Out", but I'm sure it said "Banned" before, so maybe there is a chance he'll come back to chow down on some humble pie.

Actually, scrub that, I just want him to apologise to the members he was rude and condescending to.
 
This sums up this thread

No. I am very happy about having 5.5 iPhone. I just seriously doubted the launch of two new models. Cause there was 4.8 inch iPhones leaks year right before iPhone 5s was launched as well.

So apple was obviously testing the 4.8 inch (4.7 inch) model well before the iPhone 5s.

So just figured apple was "testing" 5.5 inch model and wouldn't announce it till next year.

Guess apple does feel heavy pressure to get into phablet market.

I went ahead and got 5.5 inch LG g3 in early July when it launch full price.

I am phone junkie. Guess I will carry two 5.5 inch phones with me.

Don't forget Aluminum213 Mr. "I'm never wrong in my predictions" and creator of the "I guarantee the 5.5" iPhone doesn't launch with the 4.7" thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1771098/ Almost as passionate as 1080p on this particular topic. Birds of a feather.

Let's see - once the September event comes - who, of the people who were and are absolutely convinced the iPhone 6 5.5" would be a reality, has the humility and backbone to come back here, refer to this post and swallow their arrogant know-it-all attitude, and say "sorry, we were wrong, and sorry for being a pig headed know it all"

I'll put a VERY VERY large bet on no SINGLE person doing so.

Here's a direct link to this post, so you may refer back to this post, whilst I hand you a flanned to wipe the egg off your faces:

This thread is to have a centralized place to discuss the validity of the rumors that say Apple will release a 5.5" iPhone this fall/winter.

I will start up the conversation.

We have seen countless 3D printed mockups suggesting a 4.7" as well as a 5.5" iPhone 6 is on the way.

But there is no hard evidence that a 5.5" iPhone 6 is in the pipeline.

Let's talk mockups. Anyone can make a mockup. You could print one with a 3D printer or mill one out of a slab of aluminum. All you need are the dimensions of all of the external features, CAD program to render it in 3D, a CAM program to convert the 3D model into USABLE G-Code for a CNC machine.

So... where do these dimensions come from? Allegedly from someone who has access to specs, design drawings or blueprints... who leaked them out... for either money, notoriety or both.

Ok... so the design is leaked. That is evidence right? Not really. They could be spot on. They could be from an earlier design that Apple has since tweaked. They could be a rough estimate from hearsay or from a brief amount of time spent with a prototype or prints.

Also... there is what I believe... that the 4.7" mockups are accurate, and 5.5" are "best guesses" as to what a 5.5" model would look like. It is pretty easy to extrapolate what a 5.5" model would be like based on a 4.7" design.

So what would be "hard evidence? In my book, "hard evidence" would be an unmistakable, undeniable part leak. A leaked back housing. A leaked glass/sapphire front panel.

Things like leaked logic boards are intriguing. They give proof that SOME KIND of new hardware is coming. You know... THAT particular board isn't used in any of Apple's current hardware. But you don't know what new hardware it is intended for.

For example:

MacRumors recently posted THIS ARTICLE that "compares a 4.7" iPhone logic board to a 5.5" iPhone 6 logic board." I argue that the larger logic board could be coming from an updated iPad mini.

These logic boards aren't enough proof.

So the hard stuff? There have been 4.7" model back shells leaked. There is a 4.7" sapphire/glass panel obtained by tech Youtuber MKBHD that he demonstrated in a video about a month ago.

But there has NOT been a SINGLE PART LEAK for a 5.5" iPhone 6. We would surely have seen SOMETHING by now if it was coming.

I would like to point out some history:

In 2011, people were convinced that we were getting a "large iPhone 5 with a tapered aluminum back shell."

Many of the same media outlets and sources were reporting it up until a few days before the keynote. But... ALL WE HAD SEEN OF THIS 'iPHONE 5' WERE MOCKUPS. There were NO LEAKED PARTS. But... a few weeks before there were leaked parts of "something."

Then, just days before the keynote, there were mixed reports that Apple was releasing the iPhone 5 and a cheaper version of the iPhone 4 that would be called iPhone 4S. Some outlets reported that there was no iPhone 5 and only a "4S." Some even reported that the new "tapered iPhone" would be called 4S and not iPhone 5.

On October 4th, 2011 Apple revealed ONLY an iPhone 4S. NOTHING ELSE.

The very next day, Steve Jobs passed away.

So yes. Based upon all of this... 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. ;)
