A new report from DigiTimes says that Apple is still planing an iPhone 5c successor with a 4-inch display but won't introduce it until next year. The company will allegedly release the device in Q2 2016 and it will feature 14/16nm FinFET chips.

The 14/16nm FinFET chips will be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and Samsung, the sources said. The original plan was to equip the devices with chips built using TSMC's 20nm SoC process, said the sources, but the adoption of FinFET processors would enable specs upgrade and lower power consumption.

Just a few days ago, a report indicated that evidence of the iPhone 6c disappeared from Apple's supply chain and previous reports have also suggested the device won't launch until next year.

In the meanwhile, TSMC and Samsung are said to have already begun volume production of chips for use in the iPhone 6s.

Bringing back the 4" screen would be awesome! I have the 6 and I like the functionality, Apple Pay, etc. But I still don't like the size. Can't wait for the 6C with a 4" display!!

I really thought it wasn't going to happen after hearing plans scrapped about it, then this comes for mid 2016 after the 6s? Not cool. Waiting another year after hoping it would come this year.

Much agreed with you on this one, Nat. There are lots of us that don't like the big screen, but don't want to sacrifice usability. I gave up on my 4(s) hen 8 came out, and upgraded to the 5(s)...no way I'll get a bigger screen than this. For a woman who carries a purse, maybe it's fine...but my phone stays in my front pocket, and the 6 is just too bulky.

My gf got a 6 plus, I convinced her that she would get used to it, now she loves it and thinks my 5s is way too small for her, your missing out, I'm telling you, your missing out.

And I typed in a plus symbol after "6" when referring to my wife's iPhone, but it didn't show up...it is a 6 Plus...not a 6...but I wouldn't want a flimsy 6, either. Too big for me, and too much like an Android. I really like the lock button on the top of the midframe, and the smaller screen size. But to each their own...

Missed out on what? It's too big for a phone. It just doesn't feel right for me, sure it comes with a bit more than the 6 but big phones aren't everything to me.

Hope it reaches sooner because my iPhone 4 needs an upgrade so bad!

gamerscul9870 - August 4, 2015 at 2:48pm

Why not upgrade to the 5/5s used?

The iDevice Pro - August 4, 2015 at 2:54pm

I guess that's one way to ensure that your iPhone is jailbroken...own one that is no longer updatable!

i love my new old iphone 5. i too upgraded from iphone 4. and its nice/cheap upgrade :D wanted 5s tho, but a bit too expencive for my situation.
