Following in the footsteps of the colourful and plastic iPhone 5C, the new smartphone will "resemble an upgraded iPhone 5s." However – unlike the iPhone 5S – the new four-inch smartphone will have the same curved glass edges introduced with the iPhone 6 design.
It is similar to the iPhone 5C which replaced the iPhone 4S in the Apple line-up, ensuring every Apple smartphone used the smaller Lightning Connector cable. Mr Kuo also believes that the introduction of a new iPhone in early 2016 will help the usual sale slowdown that takes place after the busy Christmas period.
