Doubt it. I think Apple left its comfort zone with 4" in the iP5 and I doubt they're willing to push it further.

Too many...
Everyone likes to think they know how they act. Truth is, a company has never flourished without the need to infiltrate a market. If they do a good job implementing what ever size they decide on, you can count on it taking a chunk of the market...which is what Apple seems to always love to state during their annual meetings, as much as you don't want to hear it. The 4+ inch phone market has been increasing drastically in the past year. People want them. It's no secret, nor is it a problem for you if you still want the smaller phone, because you still have that option.

Truer words have never been spoken.

At the same time however, Apple (at least initially) likes to play by their own rules whether or not the market agrees with them. Sometimes they acquiesce (making the iPad Mini after reiterating a position that the 7-8" design was bad) and sometimes they don't.
