Apple is in the hands of

Apple is in the hands of smart people and let them do their job. In my view, they don't need to come up with lower end model as their new product launch pushes the old one to the lower end with price...

The reason I could see it

The reason I could see it making any sense is that the carriers have already stated that they are looking into (read: planning on) moving away from subsidized phones with a two year agreement....

I understand that this is your opinion but it doesn't seem to take into account the facts, as stated above - in particular, the "emerging markets" point. I got the impression that that was a key point...

Dur.

Dur. Apple is cliche expensive, so a less expensive Apple ANYTHING would make more sense.

I know the strong point to

I know the strong point to compete android in the emerging markets, but I don't think Apple may compete with low end products. Apple means best product in the market with extra price for quality....

I get your point, but a

I get your point, but a Galaxy Note II off contract is $700, RAZR HD is $600, RAZR MAXX HD is $650, Galaxy S III is $600 and DROID DNA is $600. These are the top tier phones, and while you can argue...

It's only $199. Plus if you want a less advanced model, it's only $99. Unfortunately, some people sneer at it because it's last years model. But if Apple had released a $0, $99, and $199 phones on the...

Two things,

Two things, One, you mean I don't HAVE to get a new phone every other year? I thought that was a must... Two, great point about the TVs. The smart phone is something we all carry with us all the time....

Rene-- I don't normally pick out 'mistakes' in iMore articles, but I figured I would help. I am not sure, but I think you meant investors, not inventors in the 4th paragraph. If you want I will read...

I tend to agree. No matter

I tend to agree. No matter what "less expensive" phone Apple can introduce, their required margins will always make it more expensive than the competition who don't seem to care about margins on...

Last year's iPhone, and the several years before (even the non-retina displays) can probably save my life just about as the latest model. Although, on the older models, the battery life might not last...

I bought my iP5 16GB for EUR 750 = 1000 USD. The 64GB version is EUR 950. It is still the best selling smartphone here in Finland. But with good WP 8 devices becoming available by Nokia at much lower...

When you have countries where

When you have emerging markets where the average salary is $10,000 and less (ex: India and China), buying any current Apple product (off-contract) doesn't make financial sense. But it might if Apple...

I'm sorry, but this article

I'm sorry, but this article jumps around. For emerging markets I think these are some EXCELLENT points. Developing an iPhone that costs far less to build thus far cheaper to buy is a great idea. It...

The problem is, Would the cost reduction of iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S has been reduced by that much over the course of the year/s. Dropping the price of previous iPhone only means apple is operating on a...

There is a huge market out there that Apple hasn't tapped into yet. Not everyone can afford an iPhone but would love to have one. I just hope when it comes out it's not lacking too many things.
