All this leads us to believe that Apple will release the iPhone 6c a couple of months before unveiling the iPhone 7.

The rumor mill is in full swing with reports that Cupertino, California-based tech giant Apple, is planning to introduce another 4-inch iPhone model in mid-2016 with new hardware. However, it was dispelled by KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo.
Macotakara also went on record to state that the iPhone 6c is internally being dubbed as the ‘iPhone 5s Mark II.’ If that’s the case then it’s highly likely that the iPhone 6c would be a repackaged iPhone 5s and might even come with Touch ID onboard. That would be up from the $74.6 billion Apple earned over the holiday quarter in 2014. Consumer Reports says the files take up three times more space than just still photos, but the sizes may vary depending on your subject.
In line with Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray’s sentiment, most seemed to think that a major design change was set for this time around, and that Apple Inc. “The chips are also said to include fingerprint sensors, which would allow for new iPhone designs without a home button, enabling the entire front panel to be the device’s display”. But according to iFixit, when they opened up a new iPhone 6s, there was no signs of waterproofing in the speaker or headphone jack.
One other potential benefit of an iPhone 6c – assuming that’s what it would be called – is that by offering it one or two quarters prior to the next “flagship” iPhone, Apple could smooth out its iPhone sales. We predict Apple will mass-produce this new 4-inch iPhone in 1H16 with metal casings. But new evidence has surfaced that has given rise to more rumors regarding the release of an iPhone 6c.
IHS: iPhone 6c Scheduled for a Mid-2016 Release?
News of the smaller iPhone comes from Weibo where Kevin Wang, HIS Technology Research Director, posted a brief tidbit about the upcoming device. The device will form the basis for the iPhone 7C, but it’s not going to be a premium smartphone. Apple gets one thing right, keeping the phone cool while shooting in this extra high definition format. In the days of subsidies, the iPhone cost you $200 or more – while a ton of equally good Android phones were offered for far less.
