Right, get a mini 5 if possible or wait for a hopefully improved 7.

Nice to see people have choices for the larger sizes but I’d like to see a smaller option for the Pro series line. Even a 5.7” would be better for “me” than the 6.1” that I have. I love my iPhone 14 Pro but just want it a bit smaller for my use.
Sounds great to me. I love the size of the screen on the 14PM. I’ll take a larger screen and larger battery for watching videos, playing games, and reading. Hopefully Apple will enable some type of split screen mode with a larger screen so I can have two apps open at the same time, and copy back and forth between the apps easier.
All these iPhone 16 rumors are hilarious! iPhone 15 is already old news. lololol.
That being said, I would totally buy a 6.9" iPhone 16 Pro Max. All these rumors are making me want to wait for the 16.

Thanks Apple for making it easier to keep my phone longer. y’all boys smoking crack at this point if this is true!
PLEASE STOP 😭
I thought 6.1” was at least gonna stick, they can’t just making them bigger and bigger forever what the hell

Yep exactly same boat. I also think iPhone 16 Pro Max (or Ultra or whatever) is looking like the next phone to get. I'd love to be able to skip the dynamic island if possible, and if not, at least with a larger screen it won't take up as much relative screen space.
Only thing that could mess this up is if Apple decides to start experimenting with their own 5G chips in the 16 Pro Phones. I absolutely refuse to buy gen 1 of any cellular tech from Apple.
f****** h*** and here I thought maybe the 16 p would be the one.
This is such a fundamental thing to my experience, and they're constantly messing with it in the wrong direction. Guess I'll buy a 13 Mini.

Finally, a reason to sport my Fanny pack!!!
This seems about perfect for me. I love the size of my iPhone 12 Pro (not max). I had a iPhone 8 Plus and it was just too big. However, I do wish the screen on my current iPhone (not max) was a little bigger. It isn't clear to me if the phone itself will be any bigger, or if they will just shrink the bezel to basically no bezel. My current iPhone 12 has a small bezel all the way around.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models launching in 2024 will feature around 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes, respectively, according to oft-accurate display industry analyst Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants.
Young informed MacRumors that the 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display sizes are rounded up. In response to our news story, Young said he will reveal the actual sizes to two decimal places during his speech at the Display Week conference in Los Angeles on May 23. Young did not indicate if the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will also have larger displays.
The new display sizes would be the largest ever for the iPhone, as the device continues to get bigger. By comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are equipped with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively, and these sizes are not expected to change with the iPhone 15 Pro models launching later this year.
Young has a good track record with display-related information about future Apple products. In the past, he accurately revealed that ProMotion was coming to the iPhone 13 Pro and the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, that the sixth-generation iPad mini would be equipped with a larger 8.3-inch display, and many other details.

I will get the iPhone 16 Pro (not max). I was going to wait for it anyway to eliminate lightning cables from my life. I also like the idea of a new phone every four to five years so waiting until next Christmas to replace my iPhone 12 Pro fits that time scale.
I remember when I used to carry the original Nexus 7 in my pocket in its case, it just fit, miss that device, anyway I would NEVER in a million years ever want to carry a 7” device all the time. Just buy an iPad Mini Cellular for less money now.
The chagrin of many users? LOL... It's a very tiny minority of people who still want smaller phones. Unfortunately you are in the very small minority otherwise Apple wouldn't be going in this direction.
Hell yeah. Count me in. I'm always down for a larger screen/battery.
It's a very small number of people. Only people that want to come to sites like Macrumors and complain about it want it. The average person wants a bigger phone. Otherwise Apple would still sell smaller phones. They follow the money.
I really think it was just a lack of being a "pro" model and poor marketing. Everyone that uses my mini loves the size. I do agree though that Macrumors makes it appear that everyone wants a mini phone, which is not the case. On the flip side, the Plus sold worse than the mini line. It seems people either want a pro variant or the cheapest new iPhone they can get.
What exactly is the difference between a mini lineup and a mini-size lineup?..
