The persistent rumors on the supposed iPhone 7c just wouldn't die down, and while no one can confirm whether it's really going to be an iPhone 7c or an iPhone 6c, rumor has it that it will soon be mass produced.

According to GSM Arena, it was earlier this month that the iPhone 7c was rumored to launch in September 2016. However, the existence of a China Mobile roadmap contradicted this, saying that the iPhone 7c will launch in April 2016. Apple is rumored to have made some testing and a few units manufactured solely for that purpose. January 2016 is the expected date for the mass production to start.

 

Although there hasn't been any concrete statement about the iPhone 7c's specs, the website says that it will have some similarity with the iPhone 5s in terms of size and shape. The supposed iPhone 7c will also come in three unconfirmed color variants. With the iPhone line slightly suffering some battery issues (which apparently led to the creation of the Smart Case Battery), it might be relevant to reveal that the device may have a 1,642 mAH battery.

Without any confirmed specs, it's really hard to determine the price. But given its similarity with the iPhone 5s and probably some new features, expect the device to be around $400 to $500.

Phone Arena was able to deliver some few additional specs for the iPhone 7c and they include the device's four-inch screen with a 2.5D curved glass. The device will also bear a 16GB internal storage, 2GB of RAM and the much-loved Touch ID feature. It will also have the Apple A9 chipset, the same as the one that is currently used on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. AU Optronics has also landed some sweet deal from Apple and is said to be an alternative display supplier for the giant tech company.

Gadgets.NDTV has also implied that the upcoming iPhone 7c, or possibly the iPhone 6c, will be waterproof. Catcher Technology's name has also been dragged to the leaked info, saying that it will be the provider of the device's metal chassis.

A compound material said to be another Apple's innovation will hide the antennae bands of the device. Around 30 to 35 percent of the device's metal chassis will be assigned to Catcher Technology while the rest will be taken from other accredited Apple suppliers.
