Apple 4-inch iPhone 6C handset coming in the middle of 2016

Reports have it that Apple Inc will release a new, less expensive smartphone known as the iPhone 6C in the second half of 2016. A large number of sources quoted IHC Technology Research director Kevin Wang as saying on his Weibo account that the Cupertino, Calif-based technology juggernaut will launch a 4-inch iPhone 6C handset that will be powered by an A9 chip in the middle of next year.

Everyone knows for sure Apple traditionally launches its newest smartphones in September each year. However, if this rumour being spread by IHC's Wang turns out to be genuine, it would mark the first time the company will release an handset mid cycle in recent years. Only its arch-rival Samsung Electronics changes launch date of its products

Wang's claims matches what  KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is well-respected when it comes to spewing 'worthy' details of Apple's yet-to be announced products, shared earlier this month that the phone maker will debut an iPhone with a 4-inch display alongside the iPhone 7 next year. The handset in question may not come with some of the killer features(like 3D Touch)  seen on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.
