New iPhone suggested for early 2016
Apple’s iPhone 5s (left) might provide a template for a March 2016 iPhone 6 derivative. – AFP/Relaxnews pic, December 4, 2015.A four-inch iPhone 5s variant – a potential iPhone 6c – could arrive early next year, according to respected tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
The KSG Securities analyst expects Apple to respond to demand for a smaller form factor with an estimated 15 million to 17 million 4-inch iPhones shipped in 2015.
A lower market price of US$400 (RM1,690) to US$500, up to US$249 less than an iPhone 6s, would also help the iPhone increase adoption in emerging markets – places where Android smartphones have traditionally had the edge – while the integration of Near Field Communication technology would support the Apple Pay system.
A metal case available in two or three colour options is also anticipated, with an A9 chip on the inside and cameras lifted straight from the iPhone 5s, reports MacRumors.
Ming-Chi Kuo's strong track record of predictions includes Cupertino's adoption of fingerprint sensors, the larger iPad Pro, and two sizes for the Apple Watch. – AFP/Relaxnews, December 4, 2015.
