I'm definitely going with the 5.5 now.
For sure.

 

[stay lurkin]

i agree, thats gonna anger me if the bigger phone is drastically better because then im just gonna wait for that even if its gonna be OD big. i cant justify waiting this whole time just to buy the "weaker" phone. Its probably gonna be $100 more so ill go that route if i have to even tho i dont want to.

Exactly man. I have been leaning towards the 5.5 but I will only get it if it is available at launch. If not 4.7 and I am not looking back.

Made a mistake. I upgraded to the G3 and traded my 5s. I decided to return it but couldn't get my phone back. So I copped a 4s for 80 and it is painful. I mean it isn't bad but man. 3G, screen size.

I def learned my lesson

 

[stay lurkin]

I hope 32 GB is the new standard. That way I can get a 64 GB without completely breaking my back

 

[Bert.]

i hope so, memory is dirt cheap these days. with everything getting more expensive overall they should make 32gb the min but apple loves to get every dollar out of our pockets so

^^^I just hope they aren't dramatically different. Like, I wan't the only difference to be the screen size, battery, and maybe processor. Because those things just make sense (pushing more pixels) . And if done right, it will be the exact same phone with no noticeable difference in performance and functionality. But if it has that glass, a little better camera, some extra feature etc and cost more then that would be disappointing IMO.

they already stated that it will have a diff processor as well as the gorilla glass and a slightly better camera... the 5.5 that is

the 4.7 will be using the latest processor they are using on whatever last ipad came out. the 5.5 will be using the new processor as well as the new ipad minis will be getting a new processor as well

damn that sucks dude.

Really hoping the phones are the same though. I don't really care for large screens. 5.5" seems a bit much. But I'd end up getting it if they're drastically different.

Like if the 4.7" is equivalent to a slightly larger 5/5c/5s and the 5.5" is a completely different beast... I'd be pissed.

sounds like this is gonna be the case man

 

[superblytrife]

If the 5.5 version even exists (pretty sure there haven't been any leaks of 5.5 parts yet), I can't see Apple making it drastically different than the 4.7 version.  They'd piss off a lot of customers and pretty much cannibalize their lineup.  

Makes no sense to offer a dumbed down version of the new iPhone, IMO.  Especially after that failure of a device called the 5C.  

 

[stay lurkin]

Yeah that is not like Apple

There are actually people who are well connected saying that the 5.5 doesn't exist. Even though there have been some parts leaked.

So I don't know what to believe.

Will the 5.5 cost more?

 

[grimeyy]

Will the 5.5 cost more?

Of course

 

[teamjordan79]

i think the 4.7 and 5.5 iphones will usher in a freudian feud.

Of course

Crazy how the 5c didn't sell well. I thought the colors would def help apples appeal. I still think that the key to apple taking over the cellphone market again is offering its premium model in an array of colors. People would go nuts

 

[stay lurkin]

I might go Gold

how are you guys talking about a 5.5 inch phone when there hasnt been 5.5 parts leaked

What are you talking about? 5Cs are very popular. I gurantee a 5c sells more than 99% of android phones.

After climbing high in June, the iPhone 5C became the UK’s biggest selling smartphone in July, outselling the core iPhone model, and the Samsung Galaxy S5 – according to data compiled by USwitch Mobile Tracker.

Apple's iPhone 5c 'failure flop' outsold Blackberry, Windows Phone and every Android flagship in Q4

I saw a 12 year old girl cry at my hibachi table because she was so happy to get a 5c. Dont believe anything you read online that cant show facts. Look at real life and you will see tons of 5cs, the thing is with a case you cant even tell the difference.

 

[lamekilla]

I was under the impression that 5c's weren't selling well. I have seen plenty of them out in the wild though. Regardless apple should put colors on to their premium models and should allow you to laser engrave them as well...

And where the hell is that glowing apple logo we should've been had?

because its been talked about everyday for a year now by every mac outlet and WSJ

we can talk about it since they are. i hope its not dropping but it most likely is

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

I might go Gold

I'm going back to black most likely. White phones in general have become far too common. Going space grey, I miss the murdered out front when the display is off.

 

[lamekilla]

Black iPhone is mandatory. The white iPhones are for the teeny boppers.

Black means business

 

[grimeyy]

White iPhones are generally owned by females (from what Ive seen anyway) but they do look clean
