Apple might announce three new iPhone models next month

Prominent and reliable mobile device leaker Evan Blass published a fresh leak via Twitter on Tuesday that Apple will release three new iPhones at its annual iPhone announcement event.
Apple is expected to announce its new iPhones on September 9.
News of the iPhones 6S and 6S Plus aren't that surprising, as Apple has consistently released "S" models of its premium flagship devices a year after they're released ever since the iPhone 3G. Also, rumors and component leaks have been emerging fairly steadily in the last few months.
However, the iPhone 6C was more elusive, as rumors emerged that Apple was working on a "C" model of the iPhone 6 with a 4-inch display, and some rumors even claimed that it was ready for production. But details about its production apparently completely disappeared, and it was claimed that plans for a "C" model was scrapped by Apple.
Sounds like iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and 6c will all arrive concurrently.

Just like the 5C was essentially an iPhone 5 re-packaged with colorful plastic backs, it's likely that the iPhone 6C will have the same components, specs, and screen size as the iPhone 6. The 5C was also released in conjunction with the iPhone 5S.

It seems now that Apple will be releasing two new flagship devices with differing screen sizes every year, as well as a third "C" model every other year from now on. That's a shift from its previous device cycles where the company would only release one device per year.
