After the release of both iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple is not yet done releasing mobile devices since the company’s iPhone 6c is also expected to be released in 2016. However, here are the most interesting things that you will find in the upcoming smartphone.
iPhone 6c Reported To Feature Several Hardware From iPhone 6s – Indeed We Have An Impressive Device On Our Hands
According to the latest report, KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo has stated that iPhone 6c is going to aesthetically resemble an upgraded iPhone 5s, meaning that the 4 inch screen size of the upcoming device has been confirmed. While the resolution of the upcoming smartphone is yet to be stated, the analyst of Chinese origin has also mentioned that another visible difference between iPhone 6c and iPhone 5s will be that that the former is going to sport a similar curved-edge glass to the iPhone 6 and 6s.
Underneath the hood, you are going to find the best possible surprise ever. iPhone 6c is going to be running the same chipset that is present in both iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which is A9. The analyst did not care to divulge the clock speed of the dual-core processor running inside the upcoming handset, but we believe that all three devices will be running at the same frequencies. In addition, there is also going to be an NFC chip incorporated in iPhone 6c.
While NFC chips are normally used to transfer data across mobile devices, this chip will be responsible for facilitating payments through the tech giant’s Apple Pay service. The NFC payment is much more secure as compared to making payments through credit or debit cards since the information of the cardholder does not remain on the server. It will remain on Apple’s servers, ensuring that another security layer has been added.
Additional reports also state that iPhone 6c will get a metal case, and that it will be available in at least 2-3 colors. The device is going to carry an off-contract price in between $400-$500, and will account for 8-9 percent of next year’s iPhone sales. Even though Apple’s revenue has increased significantly according to the latest financial reports released by the company, you should keep in mind that there is still demand for 4 inch smartphones since most users cannot get acclimatized to using large screen devices to perform their daily mobile computing tasks.
Looks like iPhone 6c is not as weak and we were made to believe initially, but we will be posting more updates concerning the smartphone so be sure to watch out for the latest updates.
