Does the iPhone 6 look like a stretched iPhone 5S?

There are people out there with fears of buying the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 that may end up being a vertically stretched iPhone 5S in the manner that the iPhone 5S was vertically stretched in regard to the iPhone 4 and 4S. Do you share their concerns?

The change to a 4" iPhone 5 involved a change in aspect ratio as well. 3:2 became 16:9.

That's not the case this time so you'll see a change in both width and height of screen.

No, It looks both taller and wider, so it looks fine in my opinion :)

Only thing I notice is that on the 6+, it strikes me as appearing more elongated despite having gotten wider. I think much of this perception of mine has to do with the thick top and bottom bezel.

Not at all. But then again, I didn't think that going from the 4S to the 5 either.

No. It's wider.
