Last month, we heard from sources of a supply chain that suggested an iPhone 6S "mini" 4 inches would be on the roadmap of the Cupertino company. Although strange, especially after the radical decision making Apple in 2014 by unveiling smartphones beyond the fateful 4 inches, this rumor made sense.
But it seems there is some disagreement, since aujourd ay it is reported that there is no indication that Apple plans to make a return to smaller smartphones.

Initially spotted by G4Games , Wei Feng Network , citing sources in the supply chain, reported that Apple has not placed orders for a 4-inch model. Their sources are speculating that the iPhone 6 4.7 inches has been so successful that Apple has no plans to release a smaller smartphone because it could receive a relatively moderate response, similar to that of the iPhone 5C.
This makes sense, but it does not change the fact that the device is mentioned, and these rumors also come from sources in the supply chain. That is, it is difficult to know who preaches the false for the true.
There is still hope
While an iPhone 6S "mini" 4 inches is not yet in production, it does not necessarily mean that Apple is not going to develop one. But it now seems less likely to happen than in the past.
If we get a new model of 4 inches, recent rumors suggest that it will have a shape similar to the iPhone 5S, but with screen rounded edges like the iPhone 6.
There is clearly still a market for smaller smartphones, but most people are now used to larger screens , and the market is falling. So it is a mystery at this point whether or not Apple will succumb to the desires of Steve Jobs to keep a 4-inch smartphone.
Would you be interested in an iPhone 6S (Mini) 4 inches? Or, do you think this strategy could harm Apple's reputation?
