Apple to launch low-priced iPhone for $350, iPhone 4S/5 at end of summer!!!

According to source, Apple will indeed be launching a prepaid / lower cost iPhone this year. We are told the handset will retail for no more than $350 without contract.  It’s entirely possible that the low-cost iPhone will in fact be the iPhone 3GS. We reported that we were able to independently confirm that the iPhone 5 featured a radical new design, however this source of ours isn’t quite sure that will be the next iPhone. Whether it’s the iPhone 4S or 5, it will be coming out or “at least announced by the end of Summer, late August.”

They theorized that we’d have seen new 3rd party cases by now if the upcoming iPhone featured a different exterior, though Apple has surely been cracking down on their case specification leaks. If this turns out to be true, it will mean there would be an iPhone 4S in addition to the prepaid iPhone 3GS available within the next month to two.

In addition to that news, we are told that Apple will continue to sell the current iPhone 4 as well, finally giving the company a full range of devices in the lower, mid, and high-end price segments. Coupled with rumored launches on Sprint and T-Mobile in the U.S. alone, Apple seems prepared to once again take charge and lead in the smartphone market.

Apple iPhone 5 to be major update after all then announcement and availability in August...

Please Share this article on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumpleupon, In and more...

 

While Apple has indeed been giving some developers access to a device known as the iPhone 4S — an iPhone 4 with upgraded internals but it has independently confirmed that the next-generation iPhone will not merely be an upgraded iPhone 4 as had been previously rumored. We have been told by a reliable source to expect a radical new case design for the upcoming iPhone, though we have not been given any additional details surrounding the design of the new iPhone case.

 What about a release, then? The consensus is that Apple is going to announce the next-generation iPhone at the company’s annual September event, traditionally focused on iPods, but we have heard it’s quite possible Apple will break tradition.

 According to our source, Apple may hold an event in the beginning or middle of August to announce the new iPhone, with availability to follow in the last week of August. We’re not sure if that means the iPod event will be moved up slightly, or if this will be an iPhone-specific event. Thisismynext reported earlier that the upcoming iPhone 5 would feature a new teardrop-shaped case design.

John Gruber, Apple watcher is supporting the statement by adding that the iPad 3 release date will be in September. He also stated in his blog, “Summer feels like a long time away. If my theory is right, they’re not only going to be months behind the iPad 2, but if they slip until late summer, they might bump up against the release of the iPad 3. And not only did they announce this with a distant ship date, they did it with no word on pricing.” On other hand Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs Says 2011 is Year Of The iPad 2.

The Apple retail store, the stylized and shiny public face of the Cupertino, California-based gadget giant.

Apple announced Next to release 'iPhone 4S' in September with T-Mobile, Sprint support.

In Unites states, a new report claims that the 5th-generation iPhone will be a relatively minor update dubbed "4S" that will bring support for both Sprint network and T-Mobile network.

“Apple‘s iPhone 5 launch in month of September is not likely to include LTE functionality, Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek asserts in a research note,” Eric Savitz reports for Forbes. “‘According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support.

Various reports and alleged prototypes have shown devices with a larger screen, utilizing a new edge-to-edge display that would keep the hardware itself the same size. And in April, a Verizon executive suggested that Apple's next iPhone would be a world phone capable of connecting to both GSM and CDMA wireless networks.

Savitz reports, says that “industry checks indicate Apple will likely announce Sprint, T-Mobile, and China Mobile as new carriers… As for LTE, he says the Qualcomm LTE chipset Apple would have used ‘is currently not achieving yields sufficient for inclusion in the iPhone 5.’ He says Apple had hoped to have the LTE chipsets ready, but was planning a version without LTE called iPhone 4S.”
