Let me rephrase your statement.

It is too extreme (for me, at least.)

Yeah it is!

I hope they include a large battery.

Considering that the iPhone 5 was a non-update (if any other OEM released an update like the iPhone 5, they would have been the laughing stock of the world), I can imagine that Apple will finally unveil dramatic changes on the iPhone 6. Apple probably knows that they got lucky to survive with the 5 because people will buy it like crazy none the less, but that it would be dangerous to play chicken and unveil the iPhone 6 as the (iPhone 5 + NFC & 720p) in case people finally wake up from the "distortion field".

Maybe Apple will finally pull out all the stops from a technological standpoint and really raise the bar in order to solidify their market share. At least, we should be seeing NFC and real HD screens instead of the illusion of "retina display".

One thing is for sure, if we don't see a large screen iPhone, I will be in disbelief, but Apple will probably sell tens of millions instantly anyway. The iPhone is still held as some kind of status symbol, and the general public is uneducated about (superior) alternatives.

I sense iphone envy in the air..

Dude, I hope that isn't directed at me. I've never owned an iPhone, and I love live tiles and metro / modern design, and wouldn't trade it for anything that the competition is offering.

That was simply my expectation of what Apple will do. Unbiased, I'd like to think.

If envy is related to my comment about the iPhone as a status symbol and/or selling like crazy, again, that's just fact. I don't envy it. Good for Apple, I'm not anti-Apple, I do like the iPhone. If it weren't for WP, I'd be using iPhone.

That's going to be awesome and seen sum pics on how thin it might be!!!

That's very cool i think

Can't think of a single reason I'd want that resolution on a phone.
Other than perhaps as a handwarmer as the battery depletes at a vast rate.

Pretty much my feelings. It's hard enough to tell the difference between my 920 and 930, but there are several factors.. Pixels per inch, viewing distance etc. I dont mind quad HD screens one day becoming the norm, but that's when they've become a lot more energy efficient and cheaper. For now I feel even full HD screen is a bit overkill, but I guess for 5"+ devices I can barely understand it
