Deja vu? We heard this every year, the cheap iPhone is always the oldest model they show at the event, first 3G, then 3GS then is going to be the iPhone 4

How about cutting your excessive profit margins for everyone to benefit from?

apple won't make cheaper version of up to date iPhone, they will always sell their previous generation iPhone as their cheaper version, just like 3GS became the cheap and affordable iPhone

This is what Apple will probably do:

Raise the price of the next iPhone 5S by a hundred dollars when it's released (From regular $200 to $300), iPhone 5 dropped to the regular "1 generation below" price of $100.

So iPhone 5S is $300 and iPhone 5 is now $100. iPhone 5S is $200 cheaper than iPhone 5, therefore making the iPhone 5 "affordable".

Smart move by APPLE as this would be for those consumers who live in countries that do not offer subsidized phones...good ole APPLE, always one step behind.

180 ppi, 480p display, 4GB storage, 256k RAM memory, 3.2MP camera, no front camera, no LTE radio...it could work, for apple

Didn't they try this with the mini iPad? So my guess is the next iPhone will be a 2.5 inch with 2010 specs thus making it "affordable"

If Apple wants to remain a top player in the smartphone market, then they will have to give in to what people want. In the case of iPhones, people want a bigger screen right now.

If Apple continues to not listen to consumers, they will single handly cause more damage to themselves than other manufacturers will be able to.

Apple can't afford for it's consumers to jump ship and give Android a try now because chances they won't go back. Even average performance Android phones will seem impressive with all the technological enhancements.

Just look at what's happened so far, Apple felt they needed to create the Apple Mini for the lower end market. Now they are considering create a inferior version of the iPhone for other countries that can't afford the standard issued version.
