While having a glance at the data logs of Apple to see which iPhone are presently in testing, a well-known marketing company namely Fiksu says that there's evidence of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus but no clue about the iPhone 6c.

Lately, reports claimed that the 4-inch iPhone 6c has been spotted a number of times in Apple manufacturing divisions and it could be released as soon as sometime in next month.Meanwhile, the latest report by Fiksu says that the iPhone 6c probably doesn't even exist.

According to Fiksu's blog post, Fiksu says that it “did a little digging in our data to see if we could spot any new Apple hardware.” What Fiksu found were two unique device identifiers relating to an “iphone8,1″ and an “iphone8,2.” For Comparision last year’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were tested under the identifiers “iphone7,2″ and “iphone7,1″– indicating that Apple is currently testing the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.


Supposedly, most the usage from these devices is coming from the U.S., while some hits have arisen from Germany and Brazil.


Sadly for people waiting to get their hands on the new iPhone 6c, however, Fiksu says that, “This data does seem to run counter to the suggestion that Apple will also unveil a 6c … as we’re not seeing a third device being tested.”

Apple probably working on a smaller battery for 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6c'

While we have seen so many leaks and rumors about the upcoming iPhone 6s and very few regarding the iPhone 6c. Most of the reports about the iPhone 6c speculate that it would be an iPhone with 4-inch display for those people who don't need the bigger iPhones. Although, there hasn't been any hardware news about the iPhone 6c since months.


Apparently, a French website Nowherelse.fr has gotten their hands on a battery that doesn't match with the size of any previous iPhone battery.The battery capacity is 1715 mAh,while the iPhone 6 has an 1810 mAh battery and the iPhone 6 Plus a 2915 mAh battery.

Well, now there could be two possibilities of this:

1: It could be the component of the rumored smaller 4-inch iPhone 6c, while having same specifications as the iPhone 6 but keeping the same small 4-inch display and a design closer to the iPhone 5s. If that is the case, the 1715 mAh battery would be a certain upgrade from the iPhone 5c's 1510 mAh battery. With the inclusion of iPhone 6's capabilities such as NFC, Touch ID, Bluetooth etc the battery surely needs an upgrade.

2: It is also feasible that the smaller battery is for the upcoming iPhone 6s. While downgrading power capacity from the iPhone 6, Apple is best known to enhance the efficiency of their internal parts to maintain strong battery life. Few months back, there were also reports that the iPhone 6s would have more power efficient parts, if so than these reports could be true.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

iPhone 6c camera sensors would be supplied by Sony, working hard to meet the demand


According to a report from Chinese IT analyst Pan Jiutang, Applehas placed so many order of Sony camera sensors. Chinese smartphone maker are working hard to meet the order supplies. It seems like Sony can only meet half of the camera sensor demand by those Chinese smartphone makers and the rest are going to be for the iPhone 6c. Reportedly, Apple is going to continue the iPhone c-series for those customer who prefer using 4-inch screen phones.

According to the source Huawei will only be able to ship 50% of the devices it planned to be accompanied with Sony cameras, while other contenders like ZTE, Coolpad and Oppo will reduce 10-30% of their production. The report says that Chinese companies will have to rely on alternatives from Toshiba, Samsung or Omni Vision. HTC had also turn to Toshiba for the camera sensor for its flagship the HTC One M9 though it's not a Chinese company.

Now suppliers formulate their products supply based on client's orders and size, thus such things won't be happening in the future.
