We've heard plenty of rumours concerning the iPhone 6C over the years, but here's the first video that purports to show it off.

The 6C is said to be Apple's follow-up to the iPhone 5C, and with a 4-inch screen, is smaller than the iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus and 6S Plus.

That should make it more affordable. So that's good news.

The video shows what's purported to be a prototype of the handset being fondled for about 40 seconds. According to M.I.C. Gadget, who posted it, it comes from within the bowels of Foxconn, the Chinese firm that manufactures the iPhone.

If the video is legit – and that's a big 'if' – the 6C will look identical to the iPhone 6S. So anyone hoping for a more colourful look similar to the 5C will be disappointed.

Its 4-inch screen will be the same size as the iPhone 5S's.

Inside is said to be an A8 chip and 8GB of RAM. It'll sport the same 8-megapixel camera, Touch ID button and NFC tech for contactless payments as the iPhone 6S.

The 6C has been rumoured for years, though in recent months, the rumour mill has gone into overdrive.

According to internet hearsay, Apple will announce the device at an event in March. We'll bring you any more news as we get it.
