It's awkward of me to say but unless one of them has a pretty shell like 5c, I'll likely be choosing neither.

I hope I'm wrong and that I'll like the design and feel of the iPhone 6.

I just don't know.

I'd def get the 5.5 - I left apple for Android due to Samsung phones being bigger and more screen so if a 5.5 option is available then I would be interested. do you think both phones will be released at the same time? also what names do you think the phones will take, Iphone 6 large and Iphone 6 mini?

It really all depends upon how each feel in my hand. I'm thinking the 5.5" off the top of my head, but I could go smaller if it doesn't feel right.

same here. If the mock ups turn out to be accurate, I'll go grab the 5S this year.

I'm leaning toward the 4.7" but I wish it was 5". The 5.5" looks like it'll be too big unless they shrink the bezels.

Get the 5.5. You KNOW you want it. Come on. FEEL the device in your hand. Think how lovely it will be to have all that screen real estate. IMAGINE those premium materials, smooth as silk in your hand....do it...do it....you know you want to...do it.....

Tell ya what, I have never been more hopeful than I am right now that the mock-ups are false. I have been in the 5.5" camp for awhile but watching this video......no way. These mock-ups very well could be off target, but if you recall back in 2012, it was around this time that the mock-ups of the iphone 5 leaked at this pace and they ended up being spot on.

I had a Note 2. It got to a point where it was to big.
I am also waiting to see what they both look like.
The 4.7 inch screen is enough for me.

Providing the internals are the same (which I seriously doubt), the 4.7"

I really disliked the size of the 5.7" Note 3 I had immensely, so I hope beyond hope that the two new iPhones aren't too different inside.

More likely the 4.7" screen so it still fits in my pocket good.

The way I see it....I was going to get a Note 4 this year so I could have done more real estate and use it along my iPhone. Then I thought about a Lumia. But if I get the 5.5 I can get my iPhone AND my real estate. So....win win.....
And I save money!!!

For those saying you wouldn't need an ipad, isn't that a good thing?

And if there are more 5.5" only features that have nothing to do with screen size then that simply makes the smaller one a mid-tier iphone.

I use my phone for more work than personal, so carrying around a 5.5" phone is not very practical. Where the heck am I going to put it? I don't carry a purse all day & I'm pretty positive it won't fit in my pocket, if I even have any. Once I get home, I usually toss it somewhere & pick up my rMini. My phone screams work, my iPad says relaxation.

If the 5.5" is the premium option, I'll be ok with the mid tier option as long as it suits my needs. Premium doesn't always mean better for everyone.

4.7 is the perfect size for me. The Nexus 5 is the biggest I would go on a phone, and that has a 4.9 inch display, so the 4.7 is definitely for me
