A new report from MyDrivers predicts that the rumored iPhone 6c (or 7c) will feature an A9 processor, 2GB of RAM, and other improvements.
The design of the smaller 4-inch iPhone is reportedly based on the iPhone 5s; however, it's said to feature a slightly curved 2.5D display glass. It will likely have the same 1136x640 display resolution.
Inside the device is Apple's A9 processor, the same one that's in the iPhone 6s, and 2GB of RAM. Apple is also said to be bumping the battery up from the 1570 mAh battery used in the iPhone 5s to a 1642 mAh battery. Like the iPhone 5s, the 6c will have a Touch ID home button.
Production of the new device is rumored to begin in January ahead of an expected April 2016 launch window. Pricing is said to start at 4000 yuan. That is about $617 USD.

I love Apple products and have always upgraded to the latest iPhones. However...... When the 6 came out and I purchased one on launch day, I quickly realised it wasn't for me after dropping it a few times within a couple of days. I keep hoping Apple will once again make a smaller iPhone as a 4 inch handset is more suitable for my lifestyle and needs. I've also had this discussion with others 5s owners and there is obviously a market for the smaller design.
