Apple is planning to launch a mini version of its iPhone dubbed iPhone 6s Mini, claim latest rumors.
In 2014, Apple launched the iPhone 6, with a 4.7-inch screen, and iPhone 6 Plus, which has a 5.5-inch display. Previous to the latest iPhone 6, all other variants of the iPhone had a 4-inch display. However, rumors suggest that Apple is working on a 4-inch device once again and it will be the mini version of the iPhone 6s, which is estimated for a 2015 launch.
Timothy Arcuri, an analyst with Cowen and Company, issued a note to investors, which suggests that Apple may launch a new 4-inch iPhone variant in 2015, which will be called iPhone 6s mini. The smartphone will join the current generation screen sizes of 4.7- inch and 5.5-inch.
According to an AppleInsider report, Arcuri cites at his sources and claims that the specifications of the rumored iPhone 6s mini will be similar to that of the iPhone 5s. However, the design may be changed with curved screen edges, similar to the iPhone 6 Plus and the iPhone 6.
The AppleInsider report reveals that Arcuri has a mixed track record on Apple iPhone rumors. In January 2014, the analyst correctly predicted some details of the iPhone 6. However, his prediction about a powerful processor for the iPhone 6 Plus turned out to be incorrect.
If Arcuri's latest prediction about the iPhone 6s mini comes true, then the smartphone will replace the iPhone 5c, which is currently Apple's low-end handset. Being a low-end phone, the iPhone 6s mini is also expected to have low-cost internals to keep the price low.
