Starting 2013, Apple launched every year two models of iPhone but the tradition may be broken in 2015 as more and more rumors state that the US giant has other plans. Well, it seems that Apple takes seriously in consideration to put on market three models which might be iPhone 6S mini, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
If the last two from the list are expected already, it looks like the company wants to launch also a smaller new smartphone with a 4 inch screen which will be, in fact, nothing else but a better version of iPhone 5S, device launched in 2013. The intention was revealed by Timothy Arcuri, an analyst from Cowen and Company which is stated by AppleInsider: "According to Arcuri, it's 'possible' that Apple could launch three new versions of the iPhone next year, with a so-called 'iPhone 6s mini' at 4 inches joining the current-generation screen sizes".
Rumors also in China
Same information reveal that apart from being a update of the iPhone 5S, the engineers from Apple also taught the device in a way that it’s components will be built as low cost ones, most likely from Qualcomm. So, this way, the price won’t be too high for the iPhone 6S, fact that the representatives of the company see as a great opportunity in attracting as many customers as possible from the beginning of the year. Still in the phase of rumors, Arcuri’s word have a heavy credibility because in December a Chinese publication named Feng, also said something about a replacement for iPhone 5S in 2015.
