NEW DELHI, INDIA: Of late, rumors on upcoming gadgets seem to be on the rise. The latest one suggests that iPhone 5S and cheap iPhone are going to be unveiled in June-July .
According to a report on MacRumors, RBC Capital Markets analyst Amit Daryanani has released a new research report predicting a June or July launch for both the iPhone 5S and a lower-cost iPhone.
''Our supply-chain checks indicate that AAPL is working to launch multiple new phones in the June/July time-frame this year. Specifically, AAPL will launch the iPhone5s and a more affordable but lower-end iPhone at the same time, in either late CYQ2 or early Q3. The low-end iPhone will have the same 4" form factor as the iPhone5 but will have plastic casing and no retina display. With a lower price-point, AAPL will be able to target a growing and important part of the Smartphone market (sub-$400 price-band)'' says the report.
Also, previous reports had suggested that the low-cost iPhone will have a polycarbonate body and be priced at $330. Another report had said that Apple may use Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC for low-cost iPhone, instead of its own processors, due to price and supply constraints, according to a report on NDTV.
However, what do you have to say? Would you go for the low-cost iPhone if all these rumors are true? Do let us know.
