Agreed. Black for sure. I'm just torn on 4.7 or 5.5. If the 5.5 is released later than the 4.7, I'm not sure I could hold out.
Man, I was convinced I'd finally get a white faced phone this time around, likely silver. But if these renders hold true, I might stay true to black cause it's lookin sharp.

All the rumours I have seen recently seem to indicate that the 6 will be thinner than the current 5/5S. Dear god, why? I don't need a thinner phone, the 5 is plenty thin enough. What I need is a bigger battery...
I still hold out hope that these rumours are wrong as I dislike the vast majority of them.

It blows my mind. One cannot convince me that a company, with as much $$ floating around as Apple, does not have on staff at least one human being whose sole purpose is to seek out and report back what the overwhelming majority of consumers want. Similar to scouting agents in sports. While there are many proposed features that consumers are split on in regards to desire....the ONE desire that seems to be consistent and craved by all is better battery life. Yet, despite this, we will get an 1800 mAh battery to power a 4.7" screen on a phone that is thin enough to use as a bookmark.
I know, it's kind of irritating. Battery life is pretty much the only part of smartphones that hasn't had a massive improvement. Cameras, OS, software, designs, you name it, those have all been improved. Battery tech is lagging behind unfortunately. :/

I believe Apple listens to it's customers which is evident in the iOS 8 features and the rumored screen size hardware releases in the coming months. I for one don't want a larger screen but many have voiced they do
The battery issue is a strange one as they can just put a bigger battery in but I'm not sure that's what customers want. I had bought an extended battery and back cover for my Palm Pre2 years back which added size in thickness and weight to the device. Even thou it almost tripled my battery life it always drew negative comments from everyone who saw it.
I hope Finn realized that's also my view I have no problem with the current thickness of the iPhone but it's not the majorities view from my understanding
The phone is too tall IMHO.
Iphone 6 is the tallest 4.7" screen phone.
iPhone 6 = 138mm in height
HTC One M7 (which I found was very clunky to use due to it's height) = 137.4mm
You can't justify a phone that tall with a 4.7" screen. It's Taller than the 5.2" screen LG G2.
Physical size comparisons here.
I settled for a 5s for these reasons. I'm very comfortable with the form factor (had the 5 too).
At least in those phones, at that height you are getting 5.0" and 5.2" screens respectively.The new HTC m8 and Xperia z2 are both 146mm
