It has been rumored for several months that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is preparing to launch a Cheap iPhone which would be available at a maximum price of $250 in the USA. Considering that the terminal arouses the interest of many, today we found out from Digitimes that the cheap iPhone would have a 4-inch screen, A6 chip, the plastic case that it should be presented at WWDC 2013 and released shortly after the event. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), would prepare an initial stock of 2.5 - 3 million units to test the market, and if the demand is high, the production would increase.
Rumors have continued to abound about Apple's forthcoming low-cost iPhone as the US-based smartphone vendor is scheduled to host its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2013 in June. Speculation currently circulating in the iPhone supply chain in Taiwan indicates that Apple plans to launch an inexpensive model targeting emerging markets with initial quarterly shipments of only 2.5-3.0 million units to test market response. The low-cost iPhone is expected to come with a 4-inch LTPS panel powered by an A6 processor, optimizing the high yield rates of mature components, said the sources. Apple will also adopt cost-effective plastic chassis for low-priced iPhone, the sources added.
Basically, from the front, the cheap iPhone should look exactly like this iPhone 5, it would have the same hardware, but it would have a plastic case and half the price. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that Apple could bring one to the market Cheap iPhone with these specifications because it would significantly reduce the sales of the terminal iPhone 5, but maybe the demand for a cheaper model will compensate for the losses. For now, it seems unlikely that such a device will be presented at WWDC 2013, but if he will be launched without iOS 7, Apple has no reason to postpone its presentation for the fall of this year.
