Following the rumours of China Mobile confirming Samsung Galaxy S7 yesterday, now it appears that Apple’s rumoured 4-inch iPhone will make an appearance in April 2016, or so they claimed.

This is not the first time that rumours have been going around about the 4-inch iPhone, previously we also covered two rumoured news of it releasing in February or March 2016, along with the next generation Apple Watch. Another name for the 4-inch iPhone was also called the “iPhone 6c”, which is rumoured to be modeled after the Apple iPhone 5s and be equipped with the same A9 processor from the Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

So according to WinFuture.de writer from Twitter, Samsung is planning to add two new colours - Platinum and Rose Gold for the Samsung Gear S2 Classic version. Whether if it's real or not, it actually seems like a good idea since Rose Gold is becoming a very popular colour.

Like Samsung introduced a new metal version of its SmartWatch 3 Android Wear just last year at the CES, Sony Smartwatch 3 also allow users to change the straps with a price, and lastly, rumours has it that Huawei is planning to launch a new Huawei Watch for women.
