Rumours have been flying that Apple is due to launch a 4-inch iPhone in the first half of 2016, with a number of sources claiming to provide a first look at the device.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a04-inch iPhone is expected to be an addition to Apple’s iPhone 5 range, named the iPhone 5se.<\/p>\n

It’s thought\u00a0to follow a similar design to the iPhone 5S but will feature higher spec hardware – including a 12 megapixel camera, (iPhone 6S style) 2.5D glass, rounded volume toggles and a relocated sleep switch.<\/p>\n

Huge innovations aren’t expected from\u00a0this new device, and it comes as somewhat of a surprise given Apple’s R&D focus on the larger-screened iPhone 6 and 6S models.<\/p>\n

Speculation suggests that the 5S will be discontinued and this newer device will take its place, keeping a similar price point.<\/p>\n

But will there be a market for this\u00a0new 4-inch\u00a0device? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of getting a first look… there have been a few sources popping up over the weekend claiming to give a sneak peak at\u00a0the official device – including the\u00a0image above, originally posted on One More Thing<\/a>, which claims to\u00a0show the new model (right) next to the iPhone 5,\u00a0and the YouTube video below posted by M.I.C Gadget.<\/p>\n

Are these genuine? Only time will tell, but we’ll keep our ears to the ground and as always keep you updated.<\/p>\n
