According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who The Verge says has a “great track record of predicting Apple’s plans in the past”, the new iPhone 6c will be embedded with a near-field communication antenna to support Apple Pay better in transactions.

That’s because Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reportedly is planning to introduce its second-generation Apple Watch in March. A 4-inch device was rumored to be launched this year but several reports later suggested that a launch in 2016 would suit the iPhone lineup.
The Apple Watch 2 version will apparently boast a few upgrades as compared to its predecessors.
People have speculated about the possibility of the iPhone 6C coming out, but there hasn’t been a release announcement for it yet.
New models of the Apple are viewed in an Apple store on September 10, 2015 in New York City.
Apple seemed to have abandoned the “c” variants of their phone which has missed out on nearly three iterations, now the folks at Cupertino are trying to revive it in the form of a 4-inch iPhone 6c.
While others are very happy to have the recently released Apple models, there are some Apple users complain about how the latest iPhone models are not small enough for them to easily use with one hand. The A8 processor is likely to be Apple’s choice for powering this new iPhone, rather than the A9 in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. With two rear cameras the device could utilize optical zoom instead of the obsolete digital zoom found on the current iPhone devices.
