Apple will reportedly launch 3 brand new iPhones next year, and the first could launch soon

Earlier this year, rumors claimed that Apple would have
three new iPhone versions in stores in 2015, but
subsequent reports disputed those claims. Some argued
that Apple had canceled the smallest model in its iPhone
6s family – thus far referred to as the iPhone 6c – while
others said the phone might still be on track for release
at a later point.
Now, a new report says that Apple is still making the
handset, though the new 4-inch iPhone won’t launch
until next year.
According to chatter from the semiconductor industry,
Apple is looking to equip the iPhone 5c successor with
FinFET chips, Digitimes says.
Mass-produced by Samsung and TSMC, the chips will
be built on 14/16nm process technology, which means
they should be even more energy-efficient and powerful
than their predecessor. Sources said that Apple’s
original plan was to use 20nm chips in the iPhone 6c,
but FinFET processor architecture would enable a “specs
upgrade and lower power consumption.”
The drawback seems to be that Apple won’t launch the
4-inch iPhone 6c until some point in the second-quarter
of 2016, a rather unusual release window for new
iPhones. The tech site doesn’t actually explain why
Apple would delay the iPhone 6c launch, but it would
mean that Apple has not two but three redesigned
iPhones in store for us in 2016.
Digitimes also says that TSMC and Samsung have already
started mass-producing iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
chips, which should be built on 14/16nm FinFET tech as

well.
