iPhone 5e
The next 4-inch smartphone made by Apple
has been in the rumors for many months now, yet it still hasn't become
official. That may change in the next few weeks, however, if we go by some
recent speculation.
One thing that's been up for debate so
far is what it's going to be called. The oldest rumors have referred to it as
the iPhone 6c, then some people started calling it iPhone 7c, and today a
Chinese analyst says it will actually be neither of those.
Apple will
name its new 4-inch device iPhone 5e, where "e" is supposed to
roughly stand for "enhanced". This model will apparently be a
slightly upgraded iPhone 5s, coming with support for Apple Pay, as well as
VoLTE.
The main camera will reportedly be an 8
MP unit, while the SoC running things should be the A8, paired with 1 GB of RAM.
In China, the iPhone 5e is expected to cost CNY 3,288, which right now means US$ 500 or € 459.
