Today, we do not know if and when Apple will introduce a cheaper model of its phone at all iPhone, but with the gradually increasing number of reports, we expect that this may happen already this year. Apple could additionally take a step in favor of this device, which some users would expect, others would not be happy for the change. In an effort to push new technologies forward, it is possible that Apple this year will completely replace iPhone 4S and replace it with a cheaper one iPhone.
Thanks to this step, Applu managed to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he would get rid of 3.5-inch displays for good and could fully devote himself to new devices with 4-inch Retina display and at the same time the last devices with a 30-pin k would stop being soldonewhich. Nowadays, he only uses flax iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3rd generation. Therefore, we do not have to rule out the possibility that if Apple will introduce plastic iPhone, then it will be the one that will be available for free from the operators. Current business model Applu works on the principle that every model released 2 years ago is available for free from operators. This step was introduced with the arrival iPhone 4S, when Apple decided to offer the 8GB model iPhone 3GS completely free and 8GB iPhone 4 for 99 dollars.
This year, we could meet a completely new model thanks to which operators will offer iPhone 5S from $199, iPhone 5 for $99 and under iPhone, respectively iPhone Lite, absolutely free. However, it is still possible that this cheaper model of the Apple phone will only be available in developing markets, especially in China and India. In these countries would Apple he could safely start selling his device and make money from it, while in Europe and America most people could probably opt for the mentioned cheaper device.
Apple they will certainly not release any model that would be intended only for certain markets, just as they will not release a model iPhone, which would be just as expensive as the iPod Touch. Except that it would completely eliminate the iPod Touch and replace it with the "lithium". That would make sense. Given the need to fully function with iOS7 it would really be appropriate not to think of something cheap. It will be around 10k.
Personally, I think they could release a cheaper model. What is in the article has its logic. Another factor could be the fact that generating profit will be more through AppStore than hardware sales. If it got iPhone even to the lower segment, so it must also be reflected in purchases at AppStore.
I still believe it's a lie. If not, then Apple it's been going down terribly fast since Jobs left.
A lot of people were buying Applebecause they believed that Jobs wasn't doing it for the money. By introducing another iPhone the company would fall among other companies, which are full of them and are not exceptional in anything but offensive advertising.
let it be an ipod touch 5g with a gsm module, everyone will be happy and koneit will be cheaper and of better quality iphone
ipod touch is the most interesting product ever apple in 2012 he introduced what concerns hardware, memory and price, if it was a mobile phone it would be sold like food for €300 - everyone would have it, which would only be good
Novel:
He was not the first. iPhone only for some markets in the sense of "intention". Expansion iPhone At the time, it was not possible for specific technical, commercial and legal reasons, and it took years to get it to the whole world. Apple now it is everywhere in the world, these restrictions are no longer there. Produce something with the intention that it will only be for "India"
not a style or a philosophy Apple, never was. They always wanted the opportunity to sell everywhere, if there was interest. LikeoneYou'll see for yourself.
I vaguely remember what he said Tim Cook, that Apple will never produce devices that are not exceptional and of high quality. That's why I would be possible iPhone lite expected in the price e.g. 329 euros and it will probably be a combination of iPod Touch and iPhone 5 minus some functions (e.g. it will not Siri, there will be no high-quality camera, older processor, less RAM, smaller storage - e.g. 8 GB or 16 GB maximum.
Well, if I sum it up like this, I don't know if I would be at all interested in such a iPhone.
