The alleged iPhone 6S mini may feature a new design with curved screen edges, much like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.This could be an attempt to replace the iPhone 5c, Apple's 'cheaper' smartphone that failed to woo audiences.The report also states that the new 4-inch "iPhone 6s mini" may include "purpose-built low cost components" from Qualcomm to keep the price down.Earlier reports suggest that the iPhone 6 helped achieve record-high sales figures for the company. According to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, since the launch of the iPhone 6, Apple’s share in British smartphone sales increased by 10.4 percent.
