There have been multiple rumours surrounding the next iPhone or the iPhone 5S. The most interesting of them, the rumour of a cheaper iPhone, was however often brushed aside as nothing more than hearsay. However, sources now confirm that Apple will be launching a cheaper iPhone 5S.
Apple has always stuck to and held its ‘premium’ tag tight with both hands. If reports turn out to be valid, then this will be the first time Apple will shift from their high-end segment and come to the mid-range phone segment.
However, this will not be the first ‘smaller, cheaper’ device launched by Apple. Apple experimented with the iPad last year with the release of iPad Mini. With the success of the “cheaper” iPad Mini, Apple might be ready to now experiment with the iconic iPhone too.
Apple devices might have been revolutionary during the initial years of launch but not much change in design or software has led to a lethargy seeping in. Youth are soon tiring of the same-looking Apple devices. Also, having a rigid software system does not appeal to many.
