Leaked Photo of Alleged 4-Inch iPhone Resembles iPhone 6Following reports that Apple will release a
new 4-inch iPhone in March or April, a user named Gijs Raggers has
shared a photo of the alleged smartphone next to an iPhone 5 on Dutch website
One More Thing. The photo was posted on the website's discussion forums, where anyone can sign up and contribute.
The purported 4-inch iPhone appears to be the same size as the iPhone 5, but otherwise looks identical to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s externally, including its curved glass edges, thinner bezels, relocated FaceTime camera, pill-shaped volume buttons and power button moved to the right side.

The veracity of the photo cannot be confirmed, but Gijs Raggers previously leaked
photos of the original iPad Air in August 2013, nearly three months before the tablet was announced. Many other
photos and
videos of the tablet surfaced around the same time, however, so take that as you will.
While most rumors suggest the new 4-inch iPhone's upgraded tech specs will be similar to the iPhone 6, including
A8 and M8 chips, an
8-megapixel rear-facing camera and
NFC for Apple Pay, the photo conflicts with reports claiming the device will look similar to the last-generation iPhone 5s design.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ideally, what size iPhone screen will your next one be?</p>— MacRumors.com (@MacRumors)
January 24, 2016<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center>It also sounds questionable for Apple to call its new 4-inch iPhone the "
iPhone 5se" if the device truly resembles an iPhone 6. That may very well be the name, but the oft-rumored "
iPhone 6c" name, or even the "iPhone 6 mini" name suggested in our forums, would seem to be more fitting name choices in that scenario.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a note to investors today, a copy of which was obtained by
MacRumors, in which he reaffirmed Apple will release a new 4-inch iPhone and iPad Air 3 in the first half of 2016. Both devices, and new Apple Watch bands, could be introduced at a
March media event in San Francisco.
