I can understand 128gb for an iPhone if you have a huge music library and you don't want to buy a separate iPod. And iTunes Match isn't quite ideal because you would have to download the music you want using your wifi connection BEFORE you leave your house, otherwise you'll blow thru your cellular data in no time.
Yes, you can turn two settings off to avoid music downloads on cellular, but then that means you can't listen to your own music when you want to - on the road/out and about - unless you remembered to download specific songs before you left your home wifi connection. iTunes Match isn't a perfect solution (yet) to having your own music available anytime/anywhere.
So you think to yourself, "Do I buy a lower memory iPhone (16 or 32gb) and a larger memory iPod (64gb)? Or do I buy one larger memory iPhone (128gb) as an all-in-one device?"
Apple is not a hardware company only. Mr Tim Cook said it himself.
Their software/services/customer experience is what sells the devices just as much as the beautiful hardware.
Except its hardware that people pay for. Of course all those other things are baked in to the price but I doubt anyone seriously believes Apple products are too cheap. Now maybe I wasn't being clear with what you were saying. I'm fully expecting a 5.5" device to be more expensive than a 4.7" device. But I think it would be a mistake for Apple to reserve certain hardware just for the 5.5" model as I believe there are people that will pay for these features but would prefer a smaller screen. I know in my case if the 5.5" model has better hardware just because then I'll keep my 5s and Apple doesn't get a sale from me.
Needs fired. He’s honked his horn for the last time. No one this blitheringly idiotic has any right to continue being employed. He’s so monumentally stupid that he doesn’t know what FaceTime and Handoff are.

The article was about emerging markets. The idea is based on the presumption that many users in those markets can afford only a single computing device so they are attracted to a phablet with voice calling capabilities. It makes sense from that perspective. In the US people tend to have multiple devices of various sizes.
32gb on the "base" would be sweet, but with iPhotos/iCloud + the huge shift to streaming music vs downloading, I can't ever see me needing 128gb on my phone. I still have room on my 16gb 5S.
95%+ of my music is ripped from my CD collection. Without iTunes Match (which I don't use) iCloud is much less useful for me. I'll take that 128GB please.
I think a lot of people forget that all devices have pros and cons. Mobile devices are all compromises of some sort or another, even laptops. My Mac Pro with 30" Cinema, Ricoh high volume color laser printer, along with my Avaya multiline business phone have only one compromise, they are not portable. People have differing needs, which is why there are so many choices in the mobile segment. Adding one more is just another possible selection for someone who is willing to accept a certain mix of compromises.
I knew you would hop in with the the justification for 128GB as justification to support the 5.5" theory! LMAO!
I think there is value in a 5.5" iPhone. Unlike you though, I am not so sure that Apple will make that big leap this go around since no substantial rumors have floated in a while, someday your your dream will come.
I would like to see:
a sapphire screen cover
true stereo output from internal speakers (even if it only allowed a mixed of L & R
be able to handle environmental issues better (like moisture from a quick slip of the grip while on the "throne”)
a way to save network settings and then export/import them on same or different iPhone/iPad
folders inside folders - they could even call it iOS HFS+
Don't be too disappointed if the 5.5 doesn't make the holiday shipping season.
survey. took a while but pretty accurate. about 100,000,000 peeps who bought Samdung S4, Samdung S5, Samdung Noty1, Samdung Noty2, Samdung Noty3. All are 5 inches or larger.
Ok I'll bite. Why is 5.5" special? People that want a 4.7" screen don't need the additional storage? Apple didn't limit 128GB to the iPad Air so why would they do it with iPhone?
Because Apple wants you to buy the larger, more expensive product.
Have you not been following Apple for the past few decades?
I don't know for sure what will be announced of course come Sept, but if the 128GB RAM is only available on the 5.5" phone, then I will not be the least bit surprised, as that is exactly what I am expecting Apple to do.
95%+ of my music is ripped from my CD collection. Without iTunes Match (which I don't use) iCloud is much less useful for me. I'll take that 128GB please.
Why don't you use it?
It's only $25 bucks a year. I use it and it works pretty good.
I no longer have to waste any space or waste money on extra flash memory needed to keep tons of songs on any of my devices.
Court cases in which Samsung officials have to explicitly state the truth, which contradicts what the company said before the case sure are wrong¡ You’re intelligent enough to know exactly what I meant the first time. Quit grasping at straws and accept that your reasoning is based on utter nonsense and lies.

There continues to be nothing ‘flagship’ about a device too large to be used.
100,000,000 people say you are wrong
Where’s your source that one hundred million people have phones larger than 5”? You’ll notice that 100 million is smaller than 7 billion.
You’re not right, under every definition of the word. It smells so bright a mute man could hear it.
LOL. Clowns never give up

But why don't they just buy a laptop that makes phone calls?
Which one?

I do.
I do also!
We were just talking about this yesterday in another thread.

See my other post for why this isn’t proof.
When did Samsung lie about shipments?
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/04/11/samsung-lied-about-tablet-sales/
http://phandroid.com/2013/11/19/no-samsung-didnt-sell-800000-galaxy-gears-they-shipped-that-many-to-retailers/
Yeah, don’t try to move the goalposts with me. I’m the one who painted the lines on the field; I can see where they belong.
Also, additional lies and theft.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-cough-2-3-million-lying-u-s-government/
http://www.cultofmac.com/254695/for-samsung-stealing-cheating-and-lying-are-business-as-usual/
So no, no one intelligent, under any definition of the word, would trust anything Samsung says.
If that was true Samsungs massive phones would be selling like hot cakes. They don't. Even Samsung has admitted to this.
Show me an article where a high ranking SAMSUNG EMPLOYEE PUBLICLY gave false unit shipments.
I’ve already replied to this post; no need to repeat myself.
YOU ARE WRONG.
Yep, court cases sure are wrong¡
heard of OJ?
Court cases in which Samsung officials have to explicitly state the truth, which contradicts what the company said before the case sure are wrong¡ You’re intelligent enough to know exactly what I meant the first time. Quit grasping at straws and accept that your reasoning is based on utter nonsense and lies.
