Customers are used to see the new generation handsets from the Cupertino-based company in the fall however 2016 could be an exception to this rule.

Would we see plastic gadget or iPhone 6c metal frame? The latest predictions mention colorful metal body frame and this could mean the better quality handset compared to the iPhone 5c that is also colorful but features plastic body design. The report comes from one Chinese source. This is not the official information from Apple so it could be just another rumor.

The 4-inch iPhone 6c could be unveiled in February 2016. While it should feature metal frame it would most likely lack 3D Touch option as this model should be a budget handset. To keep lower cost Apple would not include some newest features. Instead it will bring different colors similar to the iPhone 5c gadget which is also available in multiple color options.

The rumors about the 4-inch smartphone appeared even before iPhone 6s launch. Some people believed Apple would launch three handsets at once – iPhone 6c [you’ll be able to SIM unlock iPhone 6c as soon as it is official], iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
