Cheap iPhone: features and output. A Cheap iPhone will probably arrive by 2013: will be smaller, with different material and the much lower price
An iphone at a low price will come soon. It seemed that Apple was not going to add to its product line a cheaper iPhone, as it already happened with the iPod and the iPad. Even Phil Schiller, the powerful head of marketing of the apple, the thought seemed so much to declare in an interview. However, that interview was promptly correct (under pressure from Apple's own), and the rumors of an iPhone smaller and more affordable grow day after day. There would also be a first name: mini iPhone.
The main reason for the introduction of a low cost iPhone would be to attack expansion in emerging markets such as China and India, where the excessive cost of Apple's flagship phone is leaving important market shares in the hands of Android phones.
The rumors collected speak of a smaller device size and built with traditional materials different from the iPhone. You might even get colored versions. What is certain is that, if such a device were to arrive on the market, should be different from the versions that Apple generally keeps on sale after the launch of a new model (currently the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4) and should be sold at a price much lower than these models (around or below 250 euro).
The arrival of low cost of the iPhone is expected to coincide with the launch of the new iPhone, possibly called the iPhone 5S, towards the beginning of autumn this year, in line with the annual cycle of release kept up to date by Apple.
