If we are to believe everything we hear, we know that Apple will be releasing two new iPhone models next month. We believe that these will be the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus. There has also been a number of rumors suggesting that an iPhone 6c would also be making an appearance for the budget conscious customer. This rumors hasn’t been quashed by Apple as yet, but a number of entries in a set of developer logs have given the clearest indication to date that the iPhone 6c is but a rumor and actually doesn’t exist.
Mobile marketing company Fiksu has reported that two new iPhones have appearance on their data logs, containing the iPhone 8,1 and iPhone 8,2 identifiers. Apple’s current iPhone 6 models carry the iPhone 7,2 and iPhone 7,1 identifiers. This makes is natural for Fiksu and anyone reading the web traffic logs to assume that these two new identifiers relate to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus devices which are due for a September launch. What we have found interesting, is that there is no third identifier so the rumors of an iPhone 6c really do seem highly unlikely at this point.
The data that is contained within these web logs also shows that the two new iPhones interact with a number of popular apps available in the App Store across a wide range of categories. It is also very interesting to note that the majority of the traffic is coming from the United States where Apple are probably testing this new device. These logs don’t officially prove anything but they do add a little more excitement to what we can expect next month.
There are a number of analysts and leak specialists that have in the past been very accurate who are still adamant that Apple will introduce a third device when they bring out the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The fact that a third identifier doesn’t show up in the logs doesn’t explicitly mean that another device doesn’t exist, but it does seem very strange that two devices are being tested and the other is nowhere to be seen.
September 9th isn’t very close to arrival now so all the rumors will be put to bed soon enough. What do you think, would you like to see an iPhone 6c being launched or are you happy with the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus? Let us know in the comments below.
