Foxconn Electronics is considered to have a major share in the iPhone’s production with Pegatron that has 30% of the orders for the 4.7” inch iPhone 6. However, a 4” iPhone is likely to being kept produced and as per an insider report, Wistron is considered as the third OEM manufacturer and looking to the fact that Wistron is currently assembling the iPhone 5c, it seems that the Cupertino giant wants to keep the low-end iPhone solution open at its end.

However, earlier reports have claimed that the 4” iPhones will be the major game players in the market may be because of the fact that there are some hurdles in producing the 5.5” model. Well let us see how things move ahead and we will keep you updated wit more confirmations as they come our way.

Other specs as to whether the phone will host the same “Duo Camera” could not be said at the moment. A possibility of an IR Blaster is also there.
