The 5.5" is obnoxious. I seriously hope its just a rumor...
So, because YOU don't want it it shouldn't be made? Gotcha.
To summarize this:
They're all too big. The end.
If you have tiny hands, sure.

They still have really small flip phones you can go to.
Those bezels need to go on a diet.
I think 4.7" would really be the sweet spot. I've got an HTC one (with a 4.7" screen), and its screen is the limit of what you can comfortably use with one hand.
5.5" would be too large.
Looks like there'd be plenty of room to make those top and bottom bezels thinner, while retaining ample space for the home button as well as the symmetrical design (5.5" model). Now I'm really having trouble believing this one.
The top/bottom bezels on that 5.5" dummy are clearly larger than those on the 4.7" dummy and the 5s though. Both the top/bottom and side bezels seem to vary quite a bit in size between all these dummy versions...
Yes, I know, but, only Apple knows if these leaks are true.

The one-hand everyday use is really the issue here. I'm a 6'1" guy and the 4" screen on my iPhone 5 is already borderline too big to reach the buttons in the upper right corner. A 4.7" would be pretty much useless for me - let alone for the millions of females that are using iPhones. Inconsiderate of Apple to put out two new larger phones when the old one is already on the large side (for all the non-geeky, mostly female users out there who are not vocal about their gaming and p*rn needs on internet forums...)
100% agree. It's not a battle worth fighting on this forum. I see it said all the time. A phablet iPhone and iPad Mini are two very different devices. Not saying the 5.5" iPhone wouldn't eat into some Mini sales but again, two very different experiences.
Also Apple has said many times in the past that they don't care about cannibalizing their own sales. As long as you buy an Apple product, they win.
I don't know about that, but I know that for people like me anything that prohibits one hand operation during our busy days is useless.
I seem to recall a leak that didn't come true a couple years back. Cost some Chinese case manufacturers a fair deal in useless - was it wedge-shaped? - cases.
In the end, if you are carrying around a phablet, does it make that much difference if it's taller/wider than another device?
Same could be said for the "chin" on the iMac...but it's been the same height for 5 years. Apple sometimes views the face of it's products as "iconic" and won't change.
Other people and myself have enough to shove into our pants already with out a BIG ass phone being there too.
IMHO, the 5 is small.
I do. I've ditched cases long ago.
I realized why get an iPhone to cover it with some trashy looking case. I buy an iPhone for what it is.
