Possible 5.5" iPhone leaked and compared to 4.7"

[Not Quite Right]

"Most" *near you* yet anytime anyone else says different you jump in claiming they can't be right because of your "most"

I thought you weren't going to waste your time with me? Hmmm
Oh, and I don't see Seattle being the cellphone case capital of the world either ...

Who is from Seattle? Lol and where did I ever claim that my area was cell phone case capital? The more you post, the more foolish you make yourself look. If you're going to put words in my mouth at least know what you're talking about...

For someone who wasn't going waste their time on me, You sure seem to be sticking around. If you're not from Seattle then I must be the one from Seattle. I'm sure I was referencing that Seattle was no different than anyplace else in the country as far as cellphone case usage goes. As for someone looking foolish ... Well, I didn't really put any words in your mouth, and I'm fairly confident that I know what I'm talking about ... Soooo ... Yeah ...

Well I don't know who everyone is talking to but I live in the cellphone case capital of the world. You're not even aloud in my town if you don't have a case on your phone. We have a check point set up.

Here's a nifty comparison between the 5.5", 4.7" and other phones. The 5.5" looks just a bit too big for me, as well as too expensive.

Damn. If those prove to be accurate I might have to pass on the 5.5" and that's the version I was excited for. The bezels are ridiculous. I get the bottom due to the home button but the top? Wish they'd quit worrying so much about how thin they can make a phone. With the billions of dollars they have laying around and the staff that they do, I'm just perplexed how this is the best they can come up with.

Agree not sure why apple of all people can't cut down on the bezels. It seems as the phones get larger so do their bezels in apples case. Maybe they should take some cues from lg and their super small bezels

I agree. Dare I say it, but Apple should have taken a page from the Samsung Galaxy Note3 book concerning the top bezel....It's way to BIG, especially for a 5.5 inch device(screen). My 5s is my portable device as where my Note3 is more like my tablet (phablet) ....I guess what I'm trying to say is between the 4.7 and 5.5 iPhone 6, I will probably be going with the 4.7 iPhone 6. I do like the idea that Apple didn't just make the device longer, but wider as well.....I like that.

I certainly agree with the both of you. Seems to me, based purely on what we have seen via rumors, that Apple perhaps is just not ready for the phablet market. It almost seems like a rushed attempt, despite the fact that we are coming up on the 4th generation of the Note series.

At this point I would prefer that if Apple were to release two sizes simultaneously, that they would stick to the current 4" size in addition to the 4.7". There are quite a few souls who are very happy with the one-handed ease and pocketability of the 4" device. And if they kept the specs the same on the 4" as the 4.7" (aside from size)....they would offer one of the only premium handsets at that size-point. The 4.7" would then serve to meet the needs of those clamoring for a larger screen (5" would have been my sweet spot but you'll have that).

Oh well, as always, time will tell once Cook walks out on stage.

Keep in mind here, everyone will have their own opinion. It doesn't mean anyone here is right or wrong. You just don't see eye to eye.

Agree to disagree and coexist!

And, I finally got comfortable with a 4" screen. I've got a Note 3 I use only as a tablet. I'll be very discouraged if my only options are bigger and significantly bigger.

Of course everyone realizes that those mock-ups supposedly came from a cellphone case manufacture to better understand the new phones in designing their cases ...

Very true. My concern is that back when the 5 was first coming to fruition, we began seeing similar mock-ups and in the end they ended up being correct. From reading comments section on the various tech sites, I'm in the minority in that I don't mind the look of the back or sides with the antenna bands. I'm more concerned with the bezel and that is where I hope these mock-ups prove to be inaccurate. At least on top and sides anyways.

 

[Not Quite Right]

Personally I was hoping for a 6" screen with next to no bezels, the home button moved to one side, and add a back button to the other side. All the while taking up a smaller footprint than the Note 3 ...

I just hope the 5.5" iPhone can use iPad apps. If it is limited to iPhone apps only, I see no reason to buy the larger phone.

 

[boovish]

Anybody else think these mockups are complete bs

No, I don't. This particular version (especially of the 4.7") has been showing up a lot, so it seems likely it's an actual leak.

I've never thought of this. However, what I wouldn't want are for apps that aren't made for the iPad to be letterboxed like they are on the iPad. Instagram, for example.

What makes you think they will? The Android phablets don't use tablet specific apps. I personally will buy the larger phone because I want a larger screen.

To be fair, it's not like tablet only apps for Android are that common anyway.

If this is so I may go with the 5.5. May cause me not want a second device (iPad Mini to carry along side a smaller iPhone).

The back looks horrible.
