Want a handset with Apple's fancy new A9 processor, a colorful metal case (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/17/iphone-5c-review/)and a slightly smaller display? GHI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo says you're going to get one. According to the analyst's latest research (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/12/03/kgi-4-inch-iphone-mid-2016-a9-nfc-metal/), Apple is on track to launch a 4-inch Apple 5 successor (http://www.engadget.com/products/apple/iphone/5c/) in early 2016 -- painting the picture of a device with the same A9 processor as the iPhone 6s, NFC support for Apple Pay, a metal case with multiple color options and a $400-500 off-contract price tag aimed at the budget market.
If real, the device could be a welcome followup to Apple's"unapologetically plastic" 5c smartphone (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/10/apple-announces-the-iphone-5c/) -- retaining the smaller footprint of the iPhone 5/6 and still integrating some of the best tweaks introduced with the 6s. Still, take the rumor with a grain of salt: Ming-Chi Kuo has a decent track record when it comes to Apple predictions, but he isn't alwaysright (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/11/ming-chi-kuo-and-the-legend-of-the-3-000-iwatch/).
