    I thought I wanted the 4.7 inch phone but now I want the 5.5 inch phone. I'd take either though TBQH if the only difference is the size rather than the screen quality.

    Hahaha, you think 3 different iPhones are confusing? Wow! It's really not confusing at all.

    I would be thrilled if Apple had three sizes of phones and three sizes of iPads. I hope they release everything the same day.

    I have been one of the guys that has resisted having a phone too large to carry and answer. However, now that I have a Pebble smart watch and a bluetooth ear-piece, the truth is that I really don't have much of a reason to fumble around to find my phone and put it up to my ear to answer calls. And, since I am now carrying an iPad most everywhere, I have a tech bag that my iPhone stays in that I answer with my bluetooth when notified of a call by my smart watch. On top of that, I really don't even take many calls nowadays since many of the conversations I used to take on my phone are now text conversations. That said, with the popup keyboard, there isn't a lot of space for the text message box.

     

    Never thought that I would say this, but I will likely be looking at the bigger, 5.5" iPhone when it goes on sale.

It's a common figure of speech. But your response shows everyone on this forum the type of classless, callous person you truly are. Asking someone to kill themselves now because it will do a favor to others should definitely be a bannable offense. 


    Actually, I take back what I said before, it was very inappropriate, even if I were only jesting. I'm sorry

    Apology accepted. Thank you. 

     

    Although I'm not buying the "jesting" bit, that's a lie.  The comment was made with a large degree of hatred. 

     

    To clarify, here's an example of a jest: Just make sure if you shoot yourself, you give me your Apple products first ;)

    Non-jest: Please just shoot yourself now, and do us all a favor. 

     

    The 1st is from a place of hatred and vitriol. The 2nd is from a place of humor.  See the difference?

    you need to find something else to do.  You are the last person that should be talking about "class"

    Can someone please explain to me why I should be so excited about a larger iPhone when for years I was told by Apple that I don't want one?

    Apple never told you that....

    To clarify:

    Steve Jobs may have once pointed out reasons why Apple did not think the larger phones was a good idea. The biggest reason was most people want to be able to operate the phone with one hand. The latest rumors suggest Apple may have found a software solution for that particular problem.

    No one from Apple ever told you what you want.

    More to the point, when the iPhone was first announced all the pundits made fun of how big it was. Remember the thing about changing hand models on the website? Now the same pundits are complaining it's too small.

    I heard that if you have a 5.5" iPhone and visit Stonehenge with it at midnight on the winter solstice, a very interesting phenomenon will occur.
    What? The druids will point at you and make fun of you for having a ridiculously large phone?

    You realize you can double tap the screen to zoom, right? Bigger screen ? bigger pixels.
    In the case it's not working, you can go to setting then accecability, bold, larger fonts, zoom(triple tap then) and then your covered.

    You're a year out. Next year is the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6c and iPhone 5sc.

    Do these mockup bozos think Jony Ive will notice and hire them or something?


     

    Maybe. Who's to say? I don't know the bozos cited, so I can't elaborate any more on your speculation, I'm afraid.

    If quantities run out of 5.5", if limited availability, which is the best way to put in order for one: Online with Apple to place order, visit your local Apple Store to place order, Visit the cell carrier you are using to place order or something else?



    I seem to recall how some ordered new iMac, I think, from Apple when availability was limited and were still waiting when others who had placed order a different way were having order fulfilled sooner.



    Any comments? Thanks.

     

    Beg, borrow or steal.

    When the iPhone was released, it was the largest phone around with the largest display. It was revolutionary.

     

    Things do change you know, and 2007 is not 2014.

     

    Now there are various size iPhones, and this way, virtually everybody can and should be happy.

     

    In seven years time from now, in 2021, quite a few things will have changed from today too.


     

    A 7.5" iPhone? Save us.

    I couldn't agree more.

     

    How the hell are we supposed to hold more than three things in our head at once? Just reading your post of 93 letters and 20 words is boggling my mind; at least none of your words were more than three syllables, though I would have preferred you to stick to two syllable words, as I find three syllables a little bit confusing.

    I heard that the 5.5" probably won't come with 256GB of storage. Better go get your gun, Annie. lol
