Small steps are better. Huge leaps tend to scare people.
I wonder if someone will confuse it with Windows8

I'd buy the next iphone with a larger screen. Looks good bit as long as they don't lose the the user friendliness of iOS which many come to love and make it too complex like Android

agree on that... nothing major indeed.
most of that stuff are already on Android... I think the biggest selling point of the upcoming iPhone 6 is its large screen.
cheers!

Official iPhone 4 support to come to a halt with iOS 8
updated 04:31 pm EDT, Mon June 2, 2014
Signature device was already feature-limited
Once iOS 8 launches this fall, Apple will officially drop compatibility with the iPhone 4. The information was touched on just briefly during today's WWDC keynote in the form of a slide. The oldest compatible iPhone will thus become the iPhone 4S; for iPads the minimum will again be the iPad 2, while for iPod touches it will be the fifth-generation model.
The change was expected insofar as the iPhone 4 has already been struggling with iOS 7. The release of v7.1 alleivated some performance problems, but the device still lacks support for features that are now de facto on most iOS hardware, like AirDrop and Siri. It's even incapable of some of iOS 7's visual effects.
The iPhone 4 is in some ways Apple's most recognized device. It helped expand the iPhone's reach in the US and internationally, and created the design language used in every subsequent iPhone. Even the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 -- likely to ship with iOS 8 onboard -- is expected to keep at least some elements intact.

Well it received 4 years of software support. Can't ask for anything more.

Thanks to this:
Extensibility may be iOS 8 best feature
The iPhone 6 5.5inch is now in my radar, so for me it is between the Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 5.5inch which I'm hoping they do release this year otherwise I'll just get the Note 4. Extensibility brings iOS close enough to Android for me, apps will no longer run in their own sandbox, they will be able to interact and share info, meaning one app can add extensions e.g. Camera filters to the main Camera app, I've been wishing for this sort of thing to come since I got my iPad in late 2012, absolutely shocked to see that Apple have finally listened.

Yes today Foxconn confirmed that they are going to begin supplying the 5.5 inch Iphone 6 in August. 4.7" supplies will start next month

I am undecided between the two but will go for 4.7" model if the specs are same on both as I don't have big hands

@Tsepz_GP
You know, I was just thinking about my second line and what phone to get. Android is big NO for me and Windows phone is just not appealing to me. The iPhone has been on my radar for a while now and that they decided on a 5.5" screen has just made up my mind. I am definitely getting it, hopefully Apple have found a way of making their phones good in signal reception. I would also love for it to be water resistant, not a deal breaker but something I would love.
I am about to waste money cause I also love the yet-to-be released BlacBerry Q30, wish I had waited a bit before getting the Q10 but, hey, you only live once
