Apple Will Release Smaller iPhone 6c This Year - Evan Blass
Despite the rumors and reports from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and a number of other reliable experts claiming Apple won’t release a smaller 4-inch iPhone called presumably the iPhone 6c, it appears that Apple has changed its plans.

Next-Gen iPhone Market Share Can See Zero or Negative Growth in Q4 2015 - KGI
According to the latest rumors shared by people familiar with the matter, even though the next-generation iPhone will boast of a more efficient processor, 12-megapixel camera, updated NFC and LTE chips, 2GB or RAM, and a number of other noticeable improvements, its market share may see zero or negative growth in the fourth quarter of this year. Latest estimates from KGI prove that Apple may sell between 65 million and 75 million iPhone units in Q4 2015. As to the reason for such relatively weak sales, it may be connected with problems in the Chinese economy as well as with the limited usage of the widely-rumored Force Touch display.

Paczkowski notes that Apple may also unveil the next-generation iPad and a brand new Apple TV with a faster A8 processor, its own App Store and other improvements at the same event.

Mass-Production of Next-Gen iPhone Delayed 1-2 Weeks - Rumor
According to the latest report from KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo, the mass-production of the next-generation iPhone is delayed approximately 1-2 weeks.

Leaked Image Showing Battery for Next-Gen iPhone Appears Online
A photo showing something similar to the battery for the upcoming iPhone 6s has recently appeared on the Internet. The image has been first spotted and shared by French reporters from Nowhereelse.fr, so I think we can believe what we see.
Although the battery contains all the usual references to Apple’s battery supplier, its capacity leaves much to be desired. As can be seen on the image below, the leaked part has a capacity of only 1715 mAh, which indicates that it may have been manufactured for the smaller 4-inch iPhone. In case you don’t know, the guys from Cupertino have reportedly decided to put off the release of a smaller handset until the next year.

Several new interesting images showing leaked parts for the upcoming iPhone 6s have recently appeared on the Internet. The images have been shared by usually-reliable French website Nowhereelse.fr, so I guess we can believe what we see.
The photos reveal flex cables for power, volume, camera and LED flash, which are now combined in a single part to save the space inside of the next-generation iPhone.

According to Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company, Apple has initially planned to release a 4-inch iPhone 6c this fall. The decision to halt the development and production of the smaller handset until the next year may be connected with the fact that the 6c can possibly reduce the demand and sales of the iPhone 6, which was released in 2014. It is quite obvious that the guys from Cupertino want to sell as many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus units as possible and releasing a new lower-cost iPhone is definitely not the best way to do this.
