Possibly iPhone 6c. Or maybe they are making a smaller iPhone 6/6s for the customers who liked the size of the 4" iPhone.
If this happens, I'd jump for this instead of an iPhone 7. Even better if they just offered the iPhone 7 in all three sizes. I'm sick of having a huge phone.
If the 7 doesn't have less bezels I will leave apple for android. So tired of these kids toy looking devices
What? He's actually fairly accurate when it comes to iPhone rumors.
You're seriously still on a 3gs?
It does look very good with its larger siblings.
To be fair I just meant it'd be newer than the tech in the 5S. I think if they do a 4inch it should be on par with the larger sizes. Make one uniform design and features and just let users pick a size/price point.
Apple introduce one or two new phones per year. Samsung introduce about 50 new phones per year. Which is ridiculous?
Hah... nerd hangout right herr.I see the nerdy "in crowd" got your "joke".
Srsly though, I heard the new iPhone will run on "Clean Diesel" instead of battery electric.
Me too.
The 6+ is way too big due to the bezel. I like the screen size and I may switch to that if they get rid of the bezels next time
But if Apple releases a tremendous and powerful device in 2017, would they call it directly iPhone 8? Eight in Chinese culture is a good number, representing earning more money, and gaining more luck. With this Tim Cook could make those Chinese customers even happier, culture wise.
She doesn't need your permission, but she definitely need your advice.
And NO, she's not wise enough since she bought an 8 Gb iPhone 5C.
Apple didn't mislead her: the phone was advertised as an 8 Gb iPhone.
No need for Force Touch, just give me the same specs as iPhone 7 released no later then iPhone 7 and i would buy a 4" any day!

I get the feeling that the 4" version will get the same premium treatment as the rest for he line up too
I'd like to offer that preference of size has something to do with how an iPhone is used. I've seen a lot of ladies with the larger 6 model screen, they seem to be using it a lot for web stuff.
I never surf on my phone, rarely I will check something up in Safari. I use it to make calls, check calendar, check mail (not really do mail), take pics, listen to music in the car and as a video recorder when i drive. (With OSmAnd DVR, I recommend that app btw, it's awesome for its purpose)
The 4" 5s size is about perfect for those purposes. Haven't cared about 6 or 6s since the one I have is doing a god job for me. So a new 4" model with good specs would be awesome.

Well, sort of, it has not been as sexy lately. The latest example: my iPhone was updated to iOS 9 via iTunes and straight after the update the same iTunes popped up a message saying I needed to upgrade my iTunes version or go whistle.
So in a minute I lost the ability to synch stuff between that machine and the iPhone. Chatted to Apple Support folks, who say the only way to communicate with it now is to upgrade the software (Yosemite & iTunes). Then I upgrade my iPad to iOS 9 OTA and it continues working with the same old iTunes on the same old computer. Cheeky monkeys.
Because it's like a grown man wanting to drive around in a pink Volkswagen Beetle.
No.
4" release in January? Quite the far-fetched rumor, if you ask me!
Not hard to imagine the amount of wasted design time, material, and funding that a redesigned 4" phone would yield. Also, if the 6s and 6s plus have broken all-time sales records... The idea of still having "demand" for a 4" device seems silly.

The problem with the 3D Touch is that it is heavy ! Just give us a bigger battery.
Not sure how the pricing would work if the components where the same and the standard sizes.
Base pricing??
$99 4 " iPhone
$199 4.7" iPhone
$299 5.5" iPhone
Doesn't seem like this would be favorable to Apple since it would cannibalize sales from the 4.7 model.
why so much hate on the pink Beetle ? it is way better than these big ugly 4X4
