The polycarbanate or fiberglass iphone will surely copy the Lumia colors.

Will be interesting to see the sales numbers of a non premium Apple product. I also wonder if this is only for specific countries or world wide.
We shall I see. I agree with the above poster though, they should have kept their premium association rather than enter the budget market. It might dilute their premium branding. Although I guess their outdated specifications will dilute it eventually when people finally catch on.

How much extra would they want over Micromax A116 for same specs as A116?

Now iPhone followers will beat eachother like they used to pick on Android users.... They will call the user of the affordable iPhone "poor" and "cheap"...
And it will be funny..
Its sad to see comments today of an apple user telling an android one that he/she is envy because of money... and assuming that the decision to use android was not base on choice but on economic situation...
Anyway I will always enjoy my Android... be it my expensive S3 (that was stolen from me) or my cheaper Sony Xperia acro s....

Ok....what am I missing.... Couldnt Apple just use their custom chip....and just make the phone cheaper? So....going to an outside source...is cheaper than using your own? And doesnt using a different chip risk more fragmentation?
Custom Apple chips dont do LTE well?

uuuhhhmmm...why they'll use qualcomm SoC? that would just mess up with the iOS apps...
why not sell iPhone 4/4S for $199 off contract? that would make sense!
