Yeah I know what you're saying. But a big iPhone? Who is it for? I'm thinking professionals rather than the average consumer. Professionals have different needs. I'm an artists and animator, and there is no way I can use all the great art and animation apps on the iPad without a fine pen tip. It's (pardon the pun) pointless. Or was it China that was big phone friendly? Anyways, come fall...

Is the proximity of touch points on the iPad at the same level as dedicated solutions yet?

David Hockney managed to draw pretty well on the iPad with his finger.
Sure, but that was a huge annoyance for me when trying to learning Obj-C and also attempting to write it today.
Talk about a huge annoyance… I was trying to listen to the Advanced Swift WWDC session. The presenter has such an annoying speech mannerism that I found it impossible to listen to more than 4-5 minutes. Aggravating.
Here is a link to my Obj-C guru, Simon A. on the latest WWDC Swift announcement.
Looks more like a cheaper version, iPhone 6c or something like that. It certainly looks cheap
This will leave all those 1st 3 gen iPhone cheap phone's in the dust, the climate has changed, now we need bigger screen for media, gaming, reading, web search etc.
this new form factor will leave all those toy phone consigned to the Apple Archives.
I hope Apple has a way to color that plumber's putty to the exact shade of the iPhone, or else they could see a run on the black model, on which you can hardly notice the breaks. I think those breaks look absolutely horrible, however many folks--including myself --won't care after they drop their iPhone in a case.

There was a set of pictures showing the 5S and the leak/mockup next to it:
The first picture doesn't look too bad but the lines are pretty heavy. Some of the pictured models don't have logos, some have cutouts, the one there looks like the usual embossed logo in the first picture. The front camera is too high up again, which suggests it's more likely to be one of the Goophone models:
[VIDEO]
The Goophone clones have a larger front camera hole and it's up higher. Those guys mocked up the 5 before it was launched too. The Goophone looked similar to the 5 but it had seams where the 5 didn't:
They updated the design once the 5 came out. These models could well be based off design templates or descriptions of the actual iPhone 6 but not be entirely accurate representations. This one here has the rear camera overlapping the plastic surround:
Maybe it would look nicer if they used transparent plastic for the seams. That way, you'd see the metal color through it and it would blend in better. They'd just have to coat the inner edge to be opaque (maybe reflective) so that you couldn't see inside the phone. They might have to still use a tint of some kind to get the colors to blend right.
To everyone who says this is ugly and they love the 5 design, go back to 2012 and have a look at the leaked images of the unannounced iPhone 5. Majority of comments said it was ugly and they wouldn't buy it. Go back two more years, the same with the leaked iPhone 4 design. Have a little faith people, and prepare yourself because in another two years yet another 'ugly' design will leak and everyone will say they want the 'perfect' iPhone 6 to stay around.
This time next year the iPhone 5 will look clunky and old. Trust me. Who looks at an iPhone 4 these days and admires the beauty and level of detail the same as they did when it was the flagship?
Yep, this is an important point. The leaked images never really looked terribly good - we really have to see the final, polished design with complete fit and finish before we can make a judgment about it.

Yuck.

Your skills are lacking.
Nice big sample size you have there.
