Images purported to be of a dummy Apple iPhone 6c (or 7c) have popped up online. According to the images, the upcoming phone will be based on the same design as the iPhone 6/6s, albeit with a smaller screen. The phone has been tipped to come with a 4-inch screen along with an A9 chip and 2GB of RAM. It may also have a Home button with a TouchID fingerprint sensor, 16GB of onboard storage and 1642mAh battery. Rumours suggest that the phone will be priced around $400 and $500. Unlike the plastic iPhone 5c, the upcoming phone has been tipped to come with a metallic body and may be available in multiple colour variants. The leaked images also match up to the 3D renders of the upcoming device.
Back in August, @evleaks had tipped the Apple iPhone 6c to be released alongside the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus but that did not happen. Last month, rumours began circulating that the device would be launched alongside the Apple Watch 2 in March, 2016. However, other rumors suggested that the device would be launched in the month of April instead. There were also reports that the Apple will start mass producing the device from this month.
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus later this year. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 7 will come with an OLED display and reports suggest that the company has opened a new facility in Taiwan to work on OLED and micro-LED display technology. Latest rumours also suggest that the iPhone 7 could come with 3GB of RAM and that the Plus variant may be offered with 256GB of storage and a 3100mAh battery. Apple has also been tipped to introduce drastic new changes in the upcoming iPhone. For one, the new iPhone may no longer come with a 3.5mm headphone jack, just the lightning port. The company may ditch the Home button from the phone as well and use 3D Touch in its place. The TouchID sensor may then be relocated to the side of the device.
