I'd go for the 4.7, I'm not really a phablet type of guy.

Same here. The Galaxy Note line has never really appealed to me, and the same goes with the iPhone. A 5.5" is way too big for me, and 4.7" is honestly the sweet spot IMO

I'm going to wait for the specs on both. Then I'll decide.

I'd love to have the 5.5" screen. But price and pocketability may push me to the 4.7" model.

For me it's more about the physical size of the device. I realise the 5.5" will be bigger than the 4.7" but it's all relative. If the 5.5" is in a form factor substantially smaller than the laughably large Note 3 I had until recently then I may consider that. If it's not then I will go for the 4.7"

I love my 4.7" HTC One M7 but it is physically just ever so slightly on the large size. I'd like the iPhone 6 to be smaller but if the leaks are anything to go by, and as time goes on they seem to be becoming more consistent, I doubt it will be.

I don't plan on getting either one, but if I did get one I would definitely go for the larger one.

I don't think Apple will release two sizes this time around though...

As in "not at the same time", or "not this year at all". I'm leaning towards the not at the same time option. I think we could see the 5.5" launch a month or two later.

This is probably true, but I really don't understand why they would launch them separately. The phablet, I would imagine, wouldn't offer anything new other than a bigger sized screen. If that is the case, that wouldn't warrant a different launch event in my opinion. It would be better suited to announce the two models at the same time. That would make the event more noteworthy. Because even for the 4.7 inch model, other than the screen size, what is going to be the draw? We are getting to the point where hardware is becoming increasingly less important and the software was already announced.

4.7 will be more affordable for me, and 5.5 might be too big for me. Like people have said I MIGHT wait for the 6s instead but it depends on what they release and if I deem it worth upgrading and selling my older model.

In the past it was no question: Next iPhone, in 64GB. Now I'm in a dilemma: If both phones (4.7 and 5.5) comes out, it's really going to be the matter of what the specs are. If it's 128GB i'm definitely down, however I don't think I'll get either on launch day for two reasons:

1. Money (unless a miracle happens)
2. Overall size, design and feel.

If I were to say initially I'd say the 4.7 inch. I think the 5.5 may be too big, but until I see and touch both devices, in person, my decision is in limbo.

5.5-inch version. I hear that one will have a better camera and a more powerful processor than the 4.7-inch. But if it turns out to be too expensive I'll just get the 4.7-inch or wait 'till next year.
