Another day, another Apple rumour. As we inch closer and closer to the fall (or, Spring for us Southern Hemisphere beings) when new Apple products usually make their debut, rumours are starting to spread about the company‘s proposed new devices.
This latest rumour comes from Digitimes, who are citing “˜industry sources‘. These “˜industry sources‘ are claiming that Apple is planning on releasing three iPhone devices this fall.
Expected to launch in the second half of 2015, if the rumours turn out to be true, Apple will release three new flagship iPhone models; the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 6S Plus and, much to our surprise, a new iPhone 6C model.
The C-model is of course the cheaper option. Just as we saw two years ago when Apple introduced the iPhone 5C for the first time, this model will have a plastic casing and will be available in an array of different colours. It will also cost considerably less than the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models.
This is an interesting rumour, as just the other day, another rumour suggested that Apple is in the process of killing of the iPhone 5C and the “˜cheaper‘ model brand. Thus, these rumours of an apparent iPhone 6C is rather interesting – and in stark contradiction with the other rumour.
Be that as it may, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus is said to feature A9 chips, while the iPhone 6C will feature an A8 chip. All three devices will be equipped with LTPS panels and have screens made of Corning Gorilla Glass.
The report also states that the devices will have NFC and fingerprint scan technology – even the cheaper model, the iPhone 6C. This will then mean that all three devices will be compatible with Apple Pay.
Naturally, it being a rumour and all, apple has not yet said a word, so we will have to wait and see if these rumours turn out to be.
