Of course, affordable is used very loosely, because the iPhone 5c was hardly an affordable smartphone, and in fact it was a pretty pointless device overall. Kuo notes that the iPhone 6c would not include 3D Touch, reserving this feature for the larger, more expensive models. Apple launched two new models of iPhone: the iPhone 5S, which is preceded by the iPhone 5, and a cheaper, paired down version, the iPhone 5C. This may end up arriving in a similar timeframe as an iPhone 7c, or under a different distinction.

Here’s what the investor note from Ming-Chi Kuo reveals about the current iPhone 7 release plans according to leaks and industry sources. Apple is moving on and we’re hoping they have other things in mind rather than hardware upgrades. The iPhone 7 will feature 2GB RAM and the iPhone 7 Plus will feature 3GB RAM according to the report.
New Addition to the Board – More recently on October 01, 2015, Apple declared the appointment of James A. Bell as a new member to its board of directors.
Judging from the details, Apple might make the supposed iPhone a “budget-friendly” model for users to cater in people who are looking for state-of-the-art technology in a smaller scale with a good price.
Back in 2014 the Economic Daily News in Taiwan said that Apple would target an early release for the iPhone 6. With other words, the Plus version of iPhone 7 will feature a bigger display than the “normal” version.
As rumors intensify that Apple will be releasing a smaller iPhone, it is still not clear whether it will be named the iPhone 6c or iPhone 7c. The iPhone 6s uses the A9, which is two generations of processor beyond the iPhone 5s’s A7 processor. This 4-inch device is expected to hide an A9 processor under its hood and come with a metal casing unlike the iPhone 5c. According to IBTimes, aside from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus running with upgraded specs, Apple will also change the design and form factors for the next iPhones.
In order to give the phone even more appeal Apple is rumored to be teaming up with numerous companies, including its top rival Samsung. First, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen reports suggesting that Apple might release a new iPhone model early.
