Apple To Release Mid-Range Priced iPhone?

Published

on

Analyst Chris Whitmore with Deutsche Bank seems to think that it’s about time that Apple released a mid-range priced iPhone, which would be aimed at pre-paid customers in mind, with the device ranging between $300-$500. His reasoning is that in a mobile population of 1.5 billion, two thirds are pre-paid, and with Apple only shipping 87 million in the past two years, they’re only reaching out to 6% of a possible customer base. This was probably fueled by the rumors that there would be two iPhones released this year – an iPhone 4S which is a budget iPhone, and a brand new featured packed iPhone 5, aimed for regular customers.

The rumors had initially started by some who claimed that there would be no new iPhone 5, but rather an iPhone 4S, which would merely be a rehash of the iPhone 4 with some newer features like a better camera. Later on the rumor went 180, and people started speculating and reporting that there would be a brand new iPhone 5 instead, with a new body design among other new features. Now it looks like the rumors are saying there will be two iPhones instead.

We can’t really say for sure which is true, but Apple has been known to price their products at a rather expensive price, such as their computers for example, because to them, they were selling a lifestyle/image rather than a computer, which doesn’t make sense for them to suddenly want to branch out to the masses. However the iPhone has been their best selling product to date, which means they may want to capitalize on its popularity further by reaching out to a wider and more diverse audience. Either way, a lot of the rumors are pointing at a fall release, so I guess we will have to wait until then.

OnePlus-iPhone-CaseNow here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.

Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!

Published

iphone6-diamond-ecstasy-goldIf you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries

With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors

Published

on

apple-logo2It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.

Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.

Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
