This could be the new low-cost iPhone, encased in plastic instead of metal and adorned with cartoonish colors.
So far it's an enigma wrapped in a rumor based on speculation, but
there's a bit of evidence behind this alleged leak of the low-cost
iPhone.
On Saturday, a picture of a green version of this alleged iPhone surfaced, but now there's an additional leak. In these pics from Chinese site Weiphone.com,
the green shell has found a couple of friends in yellow and pinkish
red, all adorned with an official-looking iPhone logo at the bottom and
the iconic Apple logo in its usual position.
They're all shaped like the iPhone 5, and here's another tantalizing piece of evidence: Website NoWhereElse.fr
[French] compared these shells with the alleged iPhone 5S motherboard
leaked in mid-June, and found that all of the attachment points match up
perfectly:
The idea of a cheaper iPhone is compelling — analysts say it could
grab 11% of the low-end smartphone market within its first year on the
market. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said in April
that an entry-level iPhone might ship this September, and he thinks its
price tag might be around $300 unsubsidized. That price is a far cry
from the $649 of an iPhone 5.
The lively colors will certainly appeal to those who have become
bored with the choice of only a black or white iPhone. In addition,
those who think the current iPhone 5 is too fragile might be attracted
to this plastic casing, and such a construction could be significantly
lighter at the same time.
What do you think? Are these leaked photos the real thing, or is it all a hoax? Let us know in the comments.
