Previous rumours have pointed towards that 18 September date also, so it now seems highly likely Apple is going with that day for release.
Now it would appear that Apple will start taking pre-orders on the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus handsets on Friday the 11th of September. To wit, a recent report from Park Associates finds that the Apple TV is now the fourth most popular streaming media device in the U.S., trailing behind Roku, Google Chromecast, and Amazon’s Fire TV. In any case, it makes sense for Apple to release the iPhone 6c this year anyway, and it’ll be another choice that Apple will tack on next to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
However, in May tech news site BGR suggested that the “4-inch iPhone 6C is closer to becoming a reality than we thought” and said that Apple was “starting to place component orders for the device”. The video ends with its latest signature tagline, if it’s not an iPhone, it’s not an iPhone. A Chinese media report indicates that Apple will actually release a smaller iPhone 6c in November.
Apple updates its smartphone lineup once a year, with the device debuting at a special event in held California, normally on the second Tuesday in September. Subsequent reports have claimed the phones would then be available for preorders on September 11th followed by .
According to The Week UK, this year’s smartphone model is expected to be stronger, but more expensive to build, further adding to the Wall Street fear that the latest iPhone, to be called either as iPhone 6s or iPhone 7, will not be affordable and damage its image in the market.
No other details about the prospective specification of the iPhone 6C or 7C has emerged, and Apple never comments on new products in advance of their official unveiling.
