4-Inch iPhone 6c Specification Rumors Resurface

According to latest reports, iPhone 6c might be in the works at Apple. Earlier this month, rumors suggested that a 4-inch iPhone mini that "resembles an upgraded iPhone 5s" will launch in the first half of 2016.

A Japanese site Mac Otakara has now reported that the new model being spoken about, goes by codename “iPhone 5s Mark II”, is an improved version of iPhone 5s. Its specifications include:

• A8 chip (Mac Otakara expects the handset to be equipped with A8 chip, however, KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo expects A9)
• 4-inch display
• 802.11ac Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 4.1
• Improved FaceTime HD Camera with f/2.2 aperture

A French website NoWhereElse says that the device will have a 1715mAh battery. MacWorld UK says that if the 4-inch iPhone fails to arrive in 2016 it may be called the iPhone 7c, rather than the iPhone 6c.

While no estimate as such has surfaced with regards to its price, MacWorld says, “An 8GB iPhone 5c currently costs £319 new from Apple (cheaper on a contract). We'd like the new iPhone 6c to come in at £299, the same price as the Apple Watch.”

Mac Otakara concluded the report saying that the handset has been ready for production and can be shipped anytime soon.
