The 4-inch smartphone may not feature 3D Touch technology and Apple may launch the device in the first half next year, as shared by Kuo.

As for the iPhone 7, it will most likely be introduced in the third quarter of 2016, similar to previous iPhone models.

Rumors about the iPhone 7 being waterproof and dustproof have been swirling and guesses are being made at whether it will sport the 7000 series aluminum casing. That’s a line he’s held to for quite a while, and we’ve seen a few evidence of 4-inch iPhone parts moving. Apple may be set to release a small iPhone early next year, and that date may have leaked out of the firm, as it did to Ming Chi Kuo, though without the valuable context. This phone will be powered by the Apple A10 chipset.

With major features not present, and a release that may be within months of the iPhone 7, it is not clear what price Apple may charge for the 4-inch iPhone if it is real. However, Jobs may have failed to anticipate the wide reception of smartphones with bigger displays heralded by Android handset manufacturers Samsung and LG, leading to Cupertino’s decision to catch up in the smartphone race by increasing the display size of the iPhone. When your biggest problem as a company is future products eating into sales of your current offerings, you’re doing a pretty good job overall.

We’re still awaiting news of a follow-up to Apple’s plastic iPhone 5C, but the latest rumours indicate that it’ll be quite different to its predecessor.

Right now the most intriguing aspect of Apple’s plans is the rumored 4-inch smartphone. Those are theoretical max speeds and your carrier will need to support it, but most phones don’t even have LTE Cat.

“As there is still demand for a 4-inch iPhone, we believe Apple will upgrade this product line”, writes Kuo in an inverstors’ note posted by Mac Rumors.
