There are two sets of rumors going around these days in the internet regarding the upcoming iPhones from Apple which are expected to be launched this September.
The first rumor alludes that there would be three iPhone models to be released this year including the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 6S Plus and the iPhone 6C.
The second rurmor says that the American tech giant would be launching two – the iPhone 7, and the iPhone 7 Plus. Although this particular rumor has been modified as of last week saying that there would already be three iPhones, with the third being the iPhone 6C.
So now, the two rumors have a common denominator – the iPhone 6C. Obviously the very telling leaks on the iPhone 6C that came out in the first week of June are just too tempting not to ignore that even a rumor itself is buying it.
According to the leaks, the iPhone 6C would come out with a smaller four-inch screen and would also have a plastic shell, which would mean that it will be cheaper than the rest of Apple’s iPhone lines. This information is actually fuelling the hopes of some consumers that the letter ‘C’ on the iPhone 6C would mean cheap or affordable.
Based on the same leaks, the iPhone 6C is also expected to look a lot like the iPhone 5C but with a slightly curved screen, similar to the iPhone 6, notes Techradar.
However, until Apple makes an official announcement or statement to either confirm or deny these reports, the information about the iPhone 6C and the upcoming iPhones for the American tech giant are still speculations at this time.
Small, medium, and large
Trip Chowdry, analyst of Global Equities Research, cannot confirm whether the latest leak on the iPhone 6C is an actual handset or just a mere concept, but he believes that Apple’s next iPhones may come in three forms – small, medium, and large.
He disclosed that it is likely that Apple is now doing away with its older and smaller iPhones but it is likely that the company would now be focusing on a new trio of devices.
Chowdry said that the current flagship smartphones of Apple, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are classified as the medium and large handsets. Thus it is likely that when the company launches its new flagship smartphones around September this year, there will be three devices.
Although Chowdry did not specifically said it, it could be that the large would be the iPhone 6S Plus, the medium with be the iPhone 6S, and the small would be the iPhone 6C.
He did say however that the small smartphone should be about ¾ the size of the iPhone 6, which is actually the dimension of the leaked iPhone 6C.
