Apple iPhone 6s Mini Launch Date Tipped For 2015: Here’s What We Know So Far

By Anuj

A couple of days back, it was reported that Apple might announce a 4-inch iPhone in the first half of 2015. Back then, a selected few took this report seriously, while others called it a bizarre attempt to garner some quick publicity.

 

Now, another rumor suggests that Apple could be planning an 'iPhone mini' for 2015. The rumor comes through Timothy Arcuri, the Apple analyst for research firm Cowen & Company. Arcuri suggested that Apple could launch a mini version of the iPhone 6. The purported smartphone will join the current generation screen sizes of 4.7- inch and 5.5-inch.

Apple iPhone 6s Mini Launch Date Tipped For 2015: Here’s What We Know

According to an Apple Insider report, Arcuri cites at his sources and claims that the highlighted specs and features 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 current-generation iPhone line.

If Arcuri's prediction about the iPhone 6s Mini comes true, then the alleged device will replace the unpopular iPhone 5c, which has been selling for as low as Rs. 20,000 in India.
