MacRumors: iPhone 6

[Auggie]

Rumors about the next-generation iPhone have been picking up over the course of the last few months, as suppliers gear up for a September launch date. The majority of rumors have been focused on the screen size of the device, which is expected to increase significantly. The size of the iPhone's display grew from 3.5 inches to 4 inches with the iPhone 5, and with the iPhone 6, the screen will grow even larger.

Apple has been experimenting with a wide variety of screen sizes, with the majority of rumors solidifying around a range of 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, bringing the next iPhone in line with competing Android and Windows phones that have all adopted larger displays.

Apple acknowledged high consumer demand for phones with larger displays in one of its own internal presentations, and based on that evidence, it seems clear the company is planning to address the growing segment of market that desire bigger phones.

Apple is expected to release the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 around September of 2014, but there has been some disagreement about the launch date of the 5.5-inch iPhone. Due to production issues that may or may not be resolved, the larger 5.5-inch iPhone could launch alongside the 4.7-inch version, or at a somewhat later date.

1. I have a 4S, and do NOT want a larger phone. This one fits in my hand, pockets & purse pockets.

I hope they keep making this size.

This one works just fine for me and hope it continues to be on the market.

3. I have a 4s, and I DO want a larger phone

It's also 3G, so I'll appreciated the speed bump

4. My wife also has a 4S and likes the size

Her phone's batteries are nearly shot and is holding out for a 6. But she hates the idea of a bigger phone - she thinks my 5 is too big. I tell her, "Then don't wait - just go get a 5S since they're only getting bigger." To which she moans, "I'm not going to go buy some old technology."

You'd think Apple would find a way to offer a big one and a small one...

5. Let's wait for the official announcement ... this is a rumor

6. True

It's just that every rumor says, bigger...
