Apple iPhone 6C: All the details, tech specs, UK price and release date
The cheaper iPhone 6C is expected to resemble the iPhone 5S, albeit with a curved glass display
APPLE'S long-rumoured, redesigned four-inch iPhone 6C will be unveiled early next year, a prominent industry analyst has revealed.
 
Apple embraced larger screen smartphones with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – a trend that continued this year with the iterative, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
Unfortunately those looking for a smaller iPhone have been left in the lurch with Apple's new design. But that could be about to change.
Technology analyst Ming-Chi Kuo – who has a solid track record predicting future Apple products – claims the Cupertino firm is preparing to launch a new four-inch iPhone.
Following in the footsteps of the colourful and plastic iPhone 5C, the new smartphone will "resemble an upgraded iPhone 5s."
However – unlike the iPhone 5S – the new four-inch smartphone will have the same curved glass edges introduced with the iPhone 6 design.

The long-rumoured iPhone 6C is expected to replace the iPhone 5S in Apple's current iPhone line-up
Ming-Chi Kuo, who works for Thai firm KGI Securities, claims the internals will also see a dramatic bump.
Although the iPhone 6C will not get the pressure sensitive 3D Touch display, it will ship with support for Apple Pay and speedy A9 processor.
The front-facing and rear camera will remain the same as the iPhone 5S.

That substitution ensures all of the iPhones sold in the Apple Store will support Apple Pay
Mr Kuo’s investment note also supports recent rumours that the iPhone 6C will ship with a unibody metal case design and will be available in two to three colours.
The handset – if it even exists, or ever sees the light of day – is expected to land in UK stores by March or April next year with a modest price tag of some £260 to £330.
The iPhone 6C will replace the iPhone 5S in the current Apple line-up and will ensure every smartphones sold by Apple supports Apple Pay.
It is similar to the iPhone 5C which replaced the iPhone 4S in the Apple line-up, ensuring every Apple smartphone used the smaller Lightning Connector cable.
Mr Kuo also believes that the introduction of a new iPhone in early 2016 will help the usual sale slowdown that takes place after the busy Christmas period.
