It is also rumored to house an A9 processor and 16GB of internal storage. According to Value Walk, the new handset is speculated to be similar with the shape and size of an iPhone 5s. It is rumored to have 4-inch display with 1,334x750 resolution and improved pixel-per-inch rating.
It could also be released with 2GB of RAM, and could feature curved 2.5D glass which will ensure its design's similarity to iPhone 6s. Its rear camera could be an 8MP shooter, while the front facing camera could be at 5MP
The smaller 4-inch display size for the handset is reportedly crafted for the late Apple CEO, Steve Jobs who lwas fond of 3.5-inch mobiles. The new handset will also be the firm's attempt to diversify their brand especially since they have been releasing larger and bigger phones in the past.
