The year 2013 seems to be a new year of change for Apple, more and more sources stating that iPhone 5Sor iPhone 6, would be released in the summer of this year. Normally, Apple "reserved" that period for updating OS X and the line of Macs, but this year there could be an important change and we could witness the launch of a new iPhone, but also of a low- end. Although for now we are only talking about simple rumors, but combining all the information on this subject, we can conclude that Apple is preparing to make a new important change, probably to counter-attack Samsung more easily.
We believe Apple could launch a higher-end iPhone model by the June quarter versus its more typical September/October timing for a new iPhone launch. We also believe Apple could potentially launch a lower-end iPhone focused on more price-sensitive pre-paid markets, as we believe consumers in markets such as China, Latin America and Eastern Europe would have very strong demand for a more affordably priced 3G iPhone .
The possible launch of a low-end version of the iPhone does not seem credible, especially since Apple already offers old models at low prices. This low-end version mentioned by analysts could only be an iPhone 4 still on sale, and not a iPhone 5/iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 with a smaller screen and significantly reduced price.
God, don't let it be like that... A low end model you hear! If Steve Jobs heard all this, he would turn in his grave
It would even spin! I still hope they won't take it out!
Lately, almost all the negative rumors have come true.
The newer Apple adapts, it no longer sets the trend, it no longer innovates. Try to keep the client portfolio. The segment of midrange users is the most consistent worldwide and Apple would like to have a taste of it. It could impose a standard regarding the quality of a low-end, why not the highest quality plastic. The maneuver with instal0us is not coincidental and I think it is preparing to enter the force with low-end on the markets of India and China, think what profit it would have if the number of downloads from the Appstore tripled.
I believe that until today apple has made money thanks to these products and wanted the product to be appreciated by everyone. I don't think they thought let's release a luxury product for money, they thought let's release luxury products and if they are appreciated I will make a lot of money. Low-cost apple product means the transformation of a big brand into a brand that makes mobile phones, not ultra-super-interesting phones. If he did this, it means that the whole business was done for money and only for money, and Steve Jobs' dream was a standard one, that is, to get rich. That's not possible. It's like when the Mec, KFC, Pizza Hut will start selling, for Romania and why not for Europe, small, sarmale, piftie. There is no such thing. Apple means luxury, innovation, "perfect" technology, not MOBILE-gsm. I predict a future NOKIA type if this low-cost product will be made for the money.
F that! To make iPhones in the shape of pink iron p*le (metal) with lights :))
Possibly the first plastic iPhone? 🙂
