The phone is expected to come with same camera specs same as the iPhone 5s i.e, an 8 megapixel iSight camera and a 1.2 megapixel front. Mr. Kuo is known for being very accurate in his reports about future Apple products.

Kuo expected the price of the iPhone 6c to be between $400 and $500, and to be marketed to customers on smaller budgets, as well as to emerging markets.
The new 4-inch iPhone will have an A9 chip manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung, and glass with curved edges like the iPhone 6s, according to an analyst note seen by AppleInsider.
There are also rumors that the iPhone 7 might sport more RAM than the current Apple iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. Timothy Arcuri, an analyst with Cowen and Company, previously said that he saw evidence of such a device in Apple’s supply chain last March.
Dual rear camera technology was rumored for the iPhone 6s before its release, but reports alleged that Apple backed out of the plan and chose to develop the feature further for its future devices, Forbes wrote. Touch ID also seems like a given.
A new rumor has recently emerged for Apple’s next flagship, the iPhone 7, and it has pointed out that the Cupertino-based tech manufacturer might develop an incredibly thin handset.
A new report suggests that the iPhone 6C will ditch plastic build for a metal casing and that it will be announced by Apple in January. Kuo thought that the iPhone 6c could help suppliers with the slowdown. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Apple is betting on radical iPhone design to try and defend its market share and possibly take more share from the competition.
Explaining the business case for releasing a new iPhone model at the start of the year, Kuo said iPhone 6s orders had slowed dramatically and that the latest model was not set to sell more than the iPhone 6.

It’s hard to say which of these features could make it into the final iPhone that Apple launches next year.
