Customers in more countries can buy Apple’s lower-cost iPhone 5c with 8 GB of storage as of today. Will they? Probably not in large numbers if retailers are discounting the 16 GB model for an even lower price.
After being on a downward slide for nearly a year, past one month has seen Apple reverse the losses a little bit. though we don’t think it is becoming a trillion dollar company anytime soon.
Sales of the iPhone 4 in China during the first quarter of the year grew nearly twice as fast as the rest of the Chinese smartphone market. Meanwhile, Apple’s marketshare in the country is inching upward.
The key to Apple’s growth is finding international carriers that will sell the iPhone to new smartphone users. But, as Bloomberg points out, that’s getting harder to do because of Apple’s requirements.
Apple’s CEO says the nearly three-year-old iPhone 4 is an important part of the company’s strategy for expanding the ranks of iPhone owners to include first-time ever buyers.
According to the WSJ, Apple has two different phones in production, the follow-up to the iPhone 5 and the long-rumored low-cost iPhone.
While whole year sales are another story, during the fourth quarter of 2012 Apple sold more smartphones than any other seller in the U.S. market, according to a new report from Strategy Analytics.
If Apple decides to make and sell an iPhone whose full, unsubsidized cost is less expensive than previous models, it’s going to sell it as a different iPhone that’s “more affordable for users,” not “the cheaper iPhone.”
The price range is specifically intended to appeal to developing nations where iPhones are considered too expensive, according to Bloomberg. The report claims that Apple has discussed this plan for a less expensive iPhone with a “top U.S. wireless carrier.”
The WSJ says sources confirm Apple is considering building a less-expensive iPhone out of plastic with older components by the end of this year. Such a move would be a pretty huge change in strategy for Apple and its most important product.
Thanks to the testimony of top Apple executives this week, we know more about how the iPhone came to be. However, the revelation of these details means that even if Apple ends up winning this case, it’s still lost something: a little bit of mystery.

Since the iPhone’s debut five years ago the mobile industry has been completely transformed: Virtual keyboards are standard; wireless operators changed the way they do business; and an iPhone app sold for a billion dollars. Nothing, however, has changed more in five years than Apple itself.
Former iPhone marketing manager Bob Borchers tells students how Steve Jobs originally approached the iPhone team with the challenge of building the iPhone, a device that to date has sold 183 million units in less than five years.

Apple’s iPhone is an iconic device and behind much of the innovation in the mobile market over the last four years. But through the years it has also been a case study in both how to launch a product, and how not to launch a product.
Hoping to stop Apple’s iPhone 4 momentum, the Android camp has ramped up the release of new smartphones, some of them powered with large, high-resolution 4-inch screens, super fast processors and other powerful features. Samsung and Motorola are leading the charge. Will they succeed?

A new iPhone means a lot of speculation prior to launch. It’s fun to follow, especially when you find rumors that are “sure things” that are directly opposite. Dwight Silverman has come up with a theory about the next phone from Cupertino that is certainly new.
Nokia today is restructuring itself — for the fourth time in nearly as many years. Through all of the reorganizations and new handset models, Nokia continues to fall short in stopping worldwide market share growth Apple’s iPhone. Each attempt is a step or two behind.
More Google Android phones were sold during the first quarter of 2010 in the U.S. than iPhones. Customers of Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. carrier in terms of subscribers, can’t buy an iPhone, but they can choose from a wide range of different Google Android smartphones.
The differences are clear – Apple’s selling phones and associated content faster than Nokia.

iPhone OS 4.0 will be arriving for iPhone owners this summer. The question is, what tangible benefits will it bring to your web working routine, if any? Luckily, I’ve had a chance to put the developer beta of the OS through its paces.
Apple introduced the next major revision of it’s mobile operating system today, with a press event to highlight the changes in its iPhone OS 4.0. The developer preview of iPhone OS 4.0 will be released today, with the OS proper seeing a summer ship time.
Apple’s vision of how mobile devices should work became clear today with the introduction of iPhone OS 4.0. The feature list should quell some critics, but owners of a first- or second-generation iPhone or iPod touch who won’t get multitasking will have something to complain about.
Apple unveils “the future of iPhone OS” this Thursday in Cupertino. As nice as the iPhone operating system is, there’s always room for improvement. I expect these six features to make their way into iPhone 4.0 as Apple finds elegant solutions to inelegant problems.
