lower-priced iPhone was indeed just a dream. Two new iPhone models newly released Apple, the iPhone 5S and 5C equally expensive price. Why Apple is reluctant to release a cheap iPhone?
iPhone 5C banderolnya under iPhone 5S was sold at over USD 7 million. Though initially, there are estimates that Apple will sell in the range of USD 3-4 million just to shake the dominance of cheap Android handsets.
"Their announcement yesterday was to demonstrate the superior value of an iPhone," said Ben Thompson, a technology analyst quoted from Computerworld, Saturday (14/09/2013).
"Apple is basically saying, we do not need to be cheap, we do not need to be low end. Felt consumers do not care about Apple iPhone price is not cheap though," he added.
But Apple's insistence to keep the price of the iPhone remain high making investors worried that led to the decline in stock prices. Therefore, the foremost rival Android vendors are flooding the market with cheap and proven best-selling smartphone. Thus increasingly eroding the market share of the iPhone.
