just when we thought a smaller 4-inch iphone from Apple was almost out of the question, a new report seems to be suggesting otherwise. read on for more information on the expected coming of the 4-inch iphone as well as the next generation of its larger siblings.
We know that the successor to the iphone 6 as well as iphone 6 plus will be revealed in September of this year, as well as both devices will be carrying the ‘s’ moniker, signifying an evolutionary change. as well as while the report – which comes in from DigiTimes – does mention the arrival of the two devices, there’s likewise the 4-inch iPhone, which will be called the iphone 6c. According to the Taiwanese publishing, the new 6s as well as 6s plus smartphones will be manufactured by Foxconn, whereas the iphone 6c has been touted to be manufactured by Wistron. However, another source has suggested at the start of this year that Apple had not placed any type of orders in its supply chain that might result in the culmination of an iphone 6c.
Apparently, even if the 4-inch iphone doesn’t make the cut, Apple will have the iphone 5s on offer for free on a two year contract. The iphone 5s is still much more than a capable smartphone by modern standards, as well as if Apple is to plan for an iphone 6c, the specs as well as performance of the gadget come into question in face of the existing offered iphone models.
Tim cook had announced earlier this year that in all the sales of the iphone 6 as well as 6 Plus, there were much more newer iphone users as compared to existing ones who chose to upgrade from older models. The arrival of the smaller 4-inch iPhone, if true, might be the Mac maker’s attempt at grabbing the share in the smaller screen market segment as well, after the larger iPhones did much much better than Apple may have anticipated. It is believed that the smaller iphone might be targeted towards the female audience who discover the iphone 6 as well as 6 plus a bit too large for comfortable use.
No real word on the hardware on the 4-inch iPhone, however it is rumored that the 6s as well as 6s plus might be sporting a chunky 2GB of RAM as well as possibly a force Touch pressure sensitive screen akin to the yet-to-be released Apple Watch.
