Apple working on cheaper iPhones ,God be it true !!

Is it true apple is working on cheaper iPhone?? God be it true then i can get one for myself too. Apple always loses it's market particularly in India due to high prices of iPhones. With it's latest iPhone,the price was as high as 44K,People in India think they can get a decent laptop or a two wheeler at that price and that's a little more when brands like Samsung and HTC are offering more features in lesser price but their are still Apple fan boys in India for whom price is not a concern.

As far as I am concerned, I think this step is taken basically to compete with Samsung and other brands which are offering smartphones at a little less price.They have created a immense pressure on Apple by capturing a larger percentage of smartphone market and Google's android  have given them a new heights.

Why will these phones be cheaper ?

Apple's rumored less-expensive smartphone would look much like iPhone 5, but would be built from more affordable polycarbonate plastic instead of the slick anodized aluminum of the iPhone 5. It would also likely sport the aging guts of an iPhone 4S, much like the iPad mini uses spare parts from the iPad 2.

But I still don't understand why make iPhone 5 of cheaper material when it will be stop it's production in a year or so to make way for iPhone 5s or 6 or whatever Apple thinks of.

What do you think about this ? Do let us know !

Get 'iphone 5' before anyone else from this Chinese firm

By Harsh Vardhan (Facebook) (Twitter)

There's something everyday we keep on hearing again and again, iPhone 5. With user keeping a track on leaked images on various websites/blogs everyone is desperately waiting for this product of Apple to release.

So do you want to wait outside Apple Store in long line for hours when Apple releases it or do something like this to get it now. Get it from Hong-Kong before anyone one else. Confused?
Well, there's a catch in it...

This phone matches all the leaked image of iPhone 5 but its called Goodphone I5 and its not iPhone 5 from Apple.


Details are sketchy on this look-alike, but it definitely cops the two-tone back look expected for the iPhone 5. Despite hints that the iPhone 5 could grow in screen size, the Goophone version comes with a 3.5-inch display.


The iPhone 5 knock-off will likely be available before Apple gets around to releasing the real deal, which it's widely expected to do on September 12. It should fit the niche market of people who want to look like they have an iPhone, but secretly prefer the Android operating system.
Perhaps Apple could return the favor and copy the Goophone's advertising look. There's something very intriguing about having a smartphone held aloft by proud workers, soldiers, and moms.
