Apple will never go budget... this will destroy their brand as people will then wait for budget 5 inch phone... it will just be a 4 inch iphone 6s... 

Have you even seen Louis Vuitton or Chanel go budget to take share from Gap...

only reason for an offset introduction (eg. not in September) is simply an operational issue; it is getting harder and harder for Apple to ramp up the full iPhone supply-chain in one go... Very likely that given volumes at stake, Apple will have 2 introduction dates per year... for instance one for larger screen in September... and one for smaller screens but mostly same components in March when all component suppliers are up and running at full speed.
