If the speculated budget iphone came to fruition, would you buy it instead of the high end iphone 5/s when replacing your current iphone?
Me - definitely not
I don't really understand. A low cost phone isn't really for existing iPhone users (or for the US for that matter). It's possible they won't even sell it in the US if/when it comes out. Perhaps they will, but even so, existing iPhone users aren't really the market.
I have a 4S, and when my contract runs out, I will be getting whatever is the low-cost model at the time, simply because my needs don't warrant a high-end phone.
I listen to music, check OmniFocus regularly, read email frequently, and keep my diary in Day One updated - these are my most common and frequent tasks. Just for that is already more than suitable for the 4S.
Of course, YMMV.
If by cheaper it means a cheap plastic casing a-la Samsung then no way.
Don't worry, Apple is not going to ruin its premium brand image.
I predict if Apple ever makes a cheaper phone it won't be called an iPhone, it will be called a MacPhone or something.
I think the low-cost iPhone will pretty much be a 4S with a 4" screen and Lightning connector. Outside of the new design and the latter two features I mentioned, everything else will be the same as the 4S; 8mp camera, A5 processor, 512MB ram, etc.
Wait a minute, did I just become an Apple analyst?

I would actually love a 4s (this includes the back glass though) with a larger screen. I would literally prefer that over my iPhone 5.
You'd be making a compelling argument if Apple had never made phones out of cheap plastic casings. But they have, so your point is moot.
If ur referring to the 3G, boy they did manage to made that plastic look good. But after the last 3 versions, going back to that would be a letdown. But I won't bet any $$, after all Cook is a an operation guy, am going to guess he won't go to the end of the world to make a phone "just right" a-la Jobs. He will leave the back side of the fence unpainted.

Sure it is. Not for all but not everyone needs or wants the latest and greatest (and the associated price tag). Plenty are using older models so there is a market for a lower cost iPhone whether you and others can understand or not.I don't really understand.
