The Alleged 5.5" iPhone Could Be A Seriously Large Phone

You're not alone. There's still a lot of users who prefer the 3.5" screen 4/4s iPhones. Which iPhone do you use?
I can see Apple abandoning the 3.5" screen and "forcing" old school holdouts up to the 4" screen 5/5s, but I seriously doubt they'd abandon the 4" screen just yet. My 5s is just as easy to carry/pocket/use as my 4s was. We'll see just how much bigger in real life the 6 (4.7") turns out to be compared to the 5-series. That looks like my sweet spot, but I want to at least see/fondle the 5.5" model. Make no mistake - it's the size of the Samsung Galaxy Note. We're talking major "phablet" stuff here.
It's rare I try to single-handle a phone. I just never have. I keyboard with two thumbs up, and that's my review of a 5.5" phone. I've been playing with the Samsung Mega at 6.2" and I'm comfortable with it. There's one word for a serious option were Apple to never offer a larger screen: Android.

I'm really hoping the 5.5 doesn't have a large frame, I will definitely buy it if it's not huge.

Not so sure it wouldn't fit in standard jeans pockets. Shorts might be a problem but I've had no problem carrying my Note 3 in my pocket.
I like for my phone to go down in my pocket. I don't want it sticking out or making a tight fit. I want it loose in my pocket. If I decide on the 5.5", I'll need Cargo Pants.
It is said that guys pants pockets are bigger than women's. And I now see that's true as I have sisters and friends who have told me this. But anyways, did you say if you've tried putting a bigger device in pocket?
May sound odd, but go to a phone store and try the Note 3 for size. They may look at you funny with a tether attached but say you are checking it out for fit.
I did that.
I did that.
Difference is the iPhones 5.5 will be bigger because of the bezel size. LG uses more screen and less bezel.I am actually looking forward to the "That's ridiculous! (in a good, funny way) factor of the alleged 5.5" iPhone. I tinkered with my brother's 5.5" LG, and it was nice being able to see stuff without having the phone so close for a change.
The Apple dummy is actually bigger than the Note 3 even though the Note 3 is 5.7 inches, not 5.5 like the dimensions the dummy was constructed with. I really hope Apple doesn't maintain giant bezels on the top and bottom. That would kind of ruin it for me.
I have an iPad still but moved over to a Galaxy Note 3 in part as I'm in the camp of having wanted a larger screen. I need glasses for up close and couldn't even take a passing glance at an iPhone screen without glasses. With my Note, I can do some glances without pulling out my reading glasses which is convenient. I also in general like viewing things on a larger screen. To each his/her own and Apple will offer either option to that end.
Well, seeing as how the iPhone 6 hasn't been released yet, we don't really know.
I imagine he's probably right, though. In any event, I borrowed a friend's 6" LG Flex to slip into my pocket while standing and sitting. No problems. Bring on the Mega-iphone Air Super Plus.Well, seeing as how the iPhone 6 hasn't been released yet, we don't really know.
Here are the purported (I used that word just for Ledsteplin) back casings for the 5s and the 4.7" and 5.5" iPhone 6 models side-by-side for comparison.
I was on the fence about deciding between the 4.7 and the 5.5 (if it even exists), but after holding a Note 3 I don't think I could go with a 5.5 inch iPhone.
I've decided I really want the 5.5" model. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy, but I can live with that. I am crazy.
