No maybe the 5s will be discontinued and they will only have the 6+. (5.5 in), iPhone 6 (4.7 inch) and 5c (4 inch). Drop the mid-tier last years model.
iPhone 6+ 5.5 screen
iPhone6 - 4.7 screen
iPhoneColor - 4.0 screen - 5S in plastic in 5 new colors and black and white
iPhone 5C - black and white only. Only in limited markets like China, India
The lineup should be:
IPhone 6Note
iPhone 6
iPhone 5c
"6Note" because this is basically comes from the Galaxy Note from Samsung.
I hope apple copies the HTC One and puts two Front facing speakers on it.

One small problem: you've omitted the iPhone 5sc. Gotta have the 5sc.
In all seriousness, I'm most curious to see what they do with the 4" iPhone.
A) 4" iPhone 6?
Processor bump the current iPhone 5s?
C) Nothing?
I'm also wanting to know, since I really don't want to go any larger than 4 inches, and there are still people who like smaller phones.
The best would be a 4 Inch iPhone 6, But I'm still happy with a processor bump on the 5S. Going to a plastic model would be a downgrade for people who like the metal 4 inch iPhone.
I think they'll call the 4.7" model the iPhone 6, and the 5.5" model the iPhone 6.
Don't know if they'll keep the iPhone 5S as is, or replace it with the colour version ala the 5C, but it won't be called an iPhone 6, because it won't be an iPhone 6. It might be the iPhone 5SC, or it might be the new iPhone 5C. Or it could be the iPhone 5CS, or iPhone 5D, or...well pretty much anything.
I don't see point in 5 total devices with 5 in it and in the end 5 with 6(5,5C,5S,5CS or 5SC) as in the end it's confusing, it used to be 3G or 3GS, 4 or 4S.

It does and would leave the gap for 4.0 inch iPhone 6, again apples only top tier with a 4.0 I don't see why they would kill it, maybe if they did keep it and the phablet, mid size they could target all markets sizes with 1 hardware, as I have pointed out rumors point to it.
No way Apple would tarnish the iPhone6 name and slap it on a 5S in a new shell. NO. Way. In. Hell. The only phones that get the coveted 6 will be brand new top end hardware.

Apple has drawn a clear line between top end and mid level.
Top end = metal
Mid level = plastic
Even if your phone is 2 years old but if it's METAL you still will be viewed as 'elite' (this is coming from a Chinese perspective) because your phone is metal. You will not see metal phones at discount prices ever again.

I'm going with "iPhone Math" myself.
The name has a certain cool discipline to it.

Kill the 5S in total, really?

My idea:
iPhone 5C 16GB
iPhone 6 Mini - 4 inch upgraded 5S 32 and 64 GB
iPhone 6 - 4.7 inch 32,64,128 GB
iPhone 6 Air. - 5.5 inch 32,64,128 GB
Keeps with the naming conventions of the iPad.

iPhone 5c
iPhone 5s
As is. No changes, except for cascading down the pricing tier.
No. Germany at 7:00 :smokey:
iPhone 4S - 8GB (3.5") [some markets]
iPhone 5C - 8GB 16GB (4")
iPhone 5S - 16GB 32GB (4")
iPhone 6 - 16GB 32GB 64GB (4.7")
iPhone 6+ - 32GB 64GB 128GB (5.5")
iPhone 5C - 8GB 16GB (4")
iPhone 5S - 16GB 32GB (4")
iPhone 6 - 16GB 32GB 64GB (4.7")
iPhone 6+ - 32GB 64GB 128GB (5.5")
Sounds about right.
Interestingly enough, my family has chosen one of each in the lineup: a 6, 5S, and 5C. The 20th will be interesting for us.

I'm really really really hoping for a A8 upgraded 5S
Yes; just replace the 5s with the 5sc.

iPhone 6L - 5.5 inch - metal
iPhone 6 - 4.7 inch - metal
Those are the ELITE phones
iPhone Color - 5S in plastic
iPhone 5C - only in black/white
Those are the mid-level phones all in plastic
Next years line up
iPhone 6SL - metal 5.5
iPhone 6S - metal 4.7
iPhone Color - 4.7 iPhone6 in plastic shell
iPhone Color - 4.0 iPhone 5S in plastic
They need a metal 4 inch phone.
Yep.
5C (Free)
5S ($99)
6 ($199)
6+ (299)
