Rumor: Apple to launch three iPhones this year

Alongside an iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus S phablet, the tech company is reportedly going to unveil an affordable iPhone 6C as part of the 2015 refresh cycle.

According to Digitimes, the iPhone 6C will use a polycarbonate construction -- like the colorful iPhone 5C -- and will run a less potent processor. However the biggest difference is that it will boast a smaller, 4-inch display rather than the 4.7-inch screen on the current iPhone 6.

Digitimes also claims that despite lower specifications, the new handset, expected to be unveiled in September, will have a fingerprint scanner and will support the Apple Pay digital payments platform.
