14 DAY TRIAL // Rumors swirling around the web suggest that Apple might be launching a new 4-inch iPhone in March, and according to a new report, the device is now expected to see daylight on the 22nd.
While confirmation from Apple regarding a 4-inch iPhone has never been provided, a report from South Korean website UnderKG (via AI) indicates that Apple is planning to launch the device on March 22, one week later than initially thought.
Previous reports claimed that Apple wanted to host a press conference on March 15 to take the wraps off the iPhone 6c, but it appears that the company has delayed the unveiling by one week for no clear reason.
Name and tech specs
And although we’re approximately one month away from the debut of the new iPhone, there are a lot of uncertain things about its name and technical specs.
First of all, there are contradictory rumors regarding its name, with some sources claiming that the device could hit the market as 5SE while others were suggesting that Apple could go for the 6c. The latter certainly makes more sense given the fact that Apple needs this product to feel new and fresh, but there are also voices pointing out that Cupertino has already picked the first designation.
As far as technical specs are concerned, rumor has it that the iPhone 6c will come with the A9 processor currently found in the 6s and 6s Plus, specifically because it doesn’t want the device to lag behind the latest models. Some features won’t be available though, including 3D Touch, but Apple Pay, Touch ID, and NFC will continue to be offered.
The same March event is likely to witness the debut of a smaller iPad Pro, but also of new Apple Watch bands and software update. This won’t be the Apple Watch 2, but rather the Watch S, as Apple only wants to release a small overhaul of the device.
