> It's too bad that Apple evidently doesn't have any intention of continuing the 4" form factor.

It is in Apple's interest to keep the product marketing of the iPhone 6 focused on "it is bigger" and leverage the iPhone 5s manufacturing process as much as possible. My guess is that for the iPhone 6s they will release a iPhone 6s mini.

I'd appreciate it, but the problem is that these "mini" devices most likely will have other shortcomings like inferior internal hardware, missing features, etc. - basically the budget device. If the screen size remains the only difference I'm in, no doubt.

I'm hoping the only concessions will be battery and maybe camera. A 4" iPhone 6s with an A9, 2gb of RAM and 32gb disk would be my next phone.
