There's plenty of rumours circulating online about a smaller Apple iPhone.

The rumoured four-inch smartphone is expected to 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.

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, according to industry sources.

Now a video named  "First real 4-inch iPhone 2016 leaked" has appeared on YouTube and claims to reveal the new smartphone, rumoured to launch in March.

The long-rumoured iPhone 6C is expected to replace the iPhone 5S in Apple's current iPhone line-up

For example, the iPhone 6C in the video looks considerably larger than the reported four-inch.

One YouTube commenter posted: "It's an iPhone 6 or 6s, look at the speaker placement and the distance between it and the ports."

And if that's not enough, here are a few other points –

• Due to the smaller frame needed for a four-inch display, the ports on the base of the iPhone would need to be closer together – similar to those on the iPhone 5S.

• The model name, which appears at the bottom of the rear case on iPhones, has also been covered-up with white tape.

• Finally, there have been plenty of rumours that indicate this new iPhone will not look like Apple's flagship 6 or 6S, but instead a tweak on the iPhone 5S design.
