Apple's iPhone 5C didn't do too well, media speculation and ‘leaks' prior to its announcement all pointed towards it being a cheaper, plastic iPhone. Unfortunately, instead what we got was a fairly expensive plastic iPhone, at least that is how it was at launch. Things have settled down since then and it seems that Apple may be looking to try again with an iPhone 6C.

We have heard rumours of an iPhone 6C before, which were fuelled earlier this year when an image of a plastic-backed iPhone with Touch ID surfaced. Now, an analyst is claiming that the iPhone 6C will arrive mid 2016, ahead of the iPhone 7.

The analyst behind this prediction is Kevin Wang, who also claimed at one point that the iPhone 6C would be out this year, so this tip may not be all that reliable. However, it wouldn't be too surprising to hear that Apple is working on a new plastic iPhone.

The interesting thing here is the release timing. It is possible that Apple will launch an iPhone 6C to try to squeeze a bit more money out of the 6-series before moving on to the iPhone 7 in September, which will feature a new design along with the usual spec-bumps and additional features.

KitGuru Says: The iPhone 5C was a pretty big disappointment when it launched due to its high price point. It was only around £80 cheaper than the iPhone 5s at the time, so the value really didn't seem to be there. Maybe Apple will rectify that if it tries again with an iPhone 6C.

Apple are working on their first line of budget oriented iPhones and a total overhaul of the software services for the devices, according to the latest insider information circulating in the Far East.

One of the people, according to The Wall Street Journal saw a prototype of the phone last year and said that Apple were releasing it alongside their current range. The new phone would be half the size of the iPhone 4.

The codename for this phone is N97 and it will be made available to carriers at around half the price of the current iPhone 4. This obviously means that carriers can cut the pricing and will ensure that Apple can enter the budget market, were a lot of sales are made. Sources indicate that Apple sell their iPhone to carriers for $625 each on average. Consumers, with subsidies pay as little as $199 with a two year contract. The device is expected to first hit retail in the US before reaching European markets.

A budget iPhone is in the offing to increase sales for Apple

Apple are also suggesting that MobileMe might be released for free in the future, which would allow people using the budget iPhone models to have access to online storage capabilities, to counter the reduced internal flash storage.

Steve Jobs, although taking time off to deal with health problems, is still involved in the product range and is holding meeting from home. Latest reports indicate that this new budget iPhone could hit retail as soon as summer this year. Apple as always, have declined to comment on any of these rumours.

KitGuru says: Since 2007, Apple have sold 84.2 million units and with a budget version on the market, their sales figures are set to soar.
