If there is one thing we know for sure about Apple and Samsung is that the two are always competing with one another. When Apple launched two iPhones--the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus--last year, Samsung also followed suit by releasing two versions of its Galaxy S6 smartphone: The Galaxt S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Now it looks like Apple wants to take a step further away from Samsung by launching three iPhones, if the news circulating on the internet is anything to go.

Apple might launch, not two, but three iPhone smartphones in September this year. That's according to the rumour mill. The new guy could be named the iPhone6C, alongside the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. They said it might feature a 4-inch screen, very similar to the not-so-successful iPhone 5C. It is rumoured that it would be powered by Apple's current A8 chip, while the other two models will use Apple's next A9 processor.

The rumour mill also suggested that all three iPhone models with come equipped with Near Field Communication, TouchID Fingerprint scanners(you know for Apple Pay) and their screens would be covered with Corning's Gorilla glass.
