From the beginning, the media scrupulously collected all of the information leaks about the upcoming release of a new line of smartphones from Apple. However, the rumors about the appearance of a budget model iPhone 6c has not been confirmed. The company itself remains silent on the issue of available versions of the device.
May leak from the online Apple store only fueled expectations of new items. In one of the photos on the website instead of the iPhone 5c appeared previously unannounced smartphone that resembled, however, the 5c model. He also was equipped with a colored plastic back panel, but distinguished by the presence of an integrated fingerprint scanner in the Home button, and strongly rounded corners. Soon the picture was removed from the site.
While some sources promote the idea that Apple will give users a four-inch display, while others argued that the screen in the new model will be the size of five inches. The last option would be somewhere between iPhone 6 4.7 inch and iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5 inch. Adherents of the first view argued that Apple will make concessions to users, because even the 4.7-inch screen, six models were too big for them. Others stated that the company just does not make sense to take a step back.
According to this, iPhone 6c may be presented this year. According to sources it will be announced in November and will go on sale before Christmas. IPhone 6c forward from a four-inch screen, Apple A8 processor (model 6s has received Apple’s A9), NFC to use Apple Pay, Touch ID, an updated design, increased the minimum amount of memory (8 GB already precisely will not suffice) and, of course, a reasonable price.
Other sources, however, claim that the iPhone 6c will be held only in 2016. Brean Capital analyst Ananda Baruah sure that the budget model of the sixth series will be released next spring and will receive a four-inch screen. Expert Timothy Arcuri from Cowen and Company, in their turn, confident that Apple is not going to release this model, because the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s sold well, especially against the background of falling prices for these devices after the start of sales of the latest model.
Be that as it may, Apple is going to submit something shocking and holds the alleged novelty in the strictest confidence, or refuses to release the iPhone 6c in spite of all the analysts, journalists and consumers.
