I was going to make a thread on this earlier then decided it wasn't worth it. Then I saw Rene's article and the comments from people acting like they wouldn't mind if the iPhone 6 was as thick and heavy as the iPhone 4 and I call BS. The origin of the discussion is based off Christopher Mims' article about thickness and battery life from The Wall Street Journal that I can't post here but you'll find it on Google.
Would you really not complain at all that the iPhone was heavier because Apple wanted to put a thicker battery in there? You know, how like when Apple actually made the iPad 3/4 thicker and heavier than the 2 in order to cram the retina display in there and it made the iPad very uncomfortable to hold and use for long periods of time?
Also keep in mind that a bigger screen would actually make it heavier if it was as thick as an iPhone 4 resulting in not feeling comfortable in one hand as it does now.
What's say you? Bigger and thicker battery and sacrifice the thinness, lightness and portability?
Note: 6 Plus owners can apply this thread to their situation too if they'd like to chime in here.
