Analyst for RBC Capital Markets, Mike Abramsky, is suggesting that Apple is working on a sub-$100 pre-paid iPhone-alternative (or “iPod/phone”) limited to music playback and phone calls, though he doesn’t necessarily believe they’ll announce it at their event next week.
Our call? Buuuuuullcrap. Won’t happen. At least, not any time soon. If anyone thinks this is even the slightest bit feasible, drop a comment with your reasoning and I’ll gladly delve into all of the reasons it’s a big pile of crazy later this evening. In the mean time, we’ve got stuff to write about that isn’t essentially the same iPhone-nano crap rehashed all over again.
It can be a possibility in order to grab large part of market share currently being held by Nokia, Samsung for cheap and basic phones.
@Sachin, Apple is definitely not after market share. They have an image of premium product and premium price. They wont spoil their hard built reputation by going after Nokia / Samsung cheap phones
