iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and iPhone 6
When Apple released the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, safe to say many fans were happy as Apple had finally given them something they have been asking for, not to mention it would give Android fans one less thing to hate on Apple for. However rumors have surfaced suggesting that Apple could be going back to the 4-inch form factor with the iPhone 6s.
This was backed by an analyst who believed that this was indeed the case. Now it does seem odd that Apple would introduce a 4-inch model alongside the larger models, and if you’re thinking that it would be a silly idea, there is a chance that the rumors are false. A report from G4Games has suggested that Apple has yet to place any orders for a 4-inch model, indicating that the earlier rumors could be false.
Their source speculates that Apple has seen so much success with the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models that they don’t see a need to release a smaller phone, lest it ends up being another flop like the iPhone 5c. However given that these are merely rumors for now, it’s hard to tell which is the real deal.
While going back to a 4-inch form factor might not make sense, there are some out there who feel that large phones are just too unwieldy and that the 4-inch size is just perfect, but it seems unlikely that Apple would cater to the minority, especially given how many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units they have sold so far.
