We heard that Apple allegedly preparing a cheaper one variant iPhone with full hardware. We heard that this phone will have a plastic body. We also heard that the plastic body that budget iPhone according to unconfirmed reports, it will have, it will be transparent. It was to these three sentences that designer Matteo Gianni and his friends answered themselves and together with them created renderings of the device in several colors variantoch, whose transparency may remind you of another iconic device Applu from years past, the iMac G3.
Gianni was inspired by it and thus created a relatively realistic rendering of the device, which, according to speculation, should be announced already this year. As we heard in the past, cheaper iPhone should take over the current hardware iPhone 5, but should complement it with a design very similar to the latest generation iPod touch, as well as use the design elements of the iPod Classic. The renders offer up to six color versions, including the legendary Bondi Blue, which was symbolic of the aforementioned iMac G3.

That's pretty awful. I still don't understand why apple he'll do that with that famous apple - when he's able to sell an ALUMINUM and 32GB (!!!) iPod touch even with his brutal margin for $300. It would be such a problem to reduce the memory to, say, 8 GB, add a 3G + GSM module for the money saved, increase the thickness a little, stuff a plastic partition for antennas (like the original one had) iphone) and sell it for 300 too?
Disgustingly disgusting.
Nimrode: Maybe because 8GB is ridiculously small
@Nimrod – I've been thinking about this for a year.
@Lukáš – more than enough for some ;-)
So I quite like it in terms of design. Although I don't understand why japko, as a premium hardware manufacturer, has to start doing this farce, which defacto denies its philosophy, but so be it...
Even so, I do not assume that this can reduce the price enough to become a 'miracle' on the market.
A good idea to show the inside, which Jobs was always proud of, and it doesn't look bad. But along with the white ancestry, it's not pretty.
Personally, I like the first one the most among these renders variant, Bondi Blue. If it were possible to get such a transparent cover for iPhone 3GS, I would easily invest in it.

That's exactly what I thought, why apple I won't add 2g and 3g to the ipod touch and keep the price at 300-350 usd
They could also make the ipod cheaper because 329 for an ipod is just too much when you can get a used 4s for the same money or on ebay
So I like it, it's not a bad idea at all and most of all it's typical Apple. I see, really good. Of all the low-end renders iPhone are these really original and Apphunting.
