iPhone4s (s for Standard or Smart) (same iPhone4, 8GB only, plastic or aluminum back, cameras downgraded to same as ipod touch, NFC added , much cheaper to make)
NO iPhone3GS, no 5G iPod Touch
 
Can someone please explain all the talk of the iPhone in China ? This has popped up in quite a few stories recently. Yet the iPhone already is in China... :confused:

What's so special about this ?

The company they are contracted with now has 180 million, the new contract will open them up to 400 million people. more people=more money=higher stock price
 
LOL next thing he'l predict is iOS5 may allow for apple account merging, and will surely have over the air syncing for the iphone 4 and current iPod, but previous devices is unknown.

I'm sorry...have you ready ANYTHING from the past few months?
 
Why would they suddenly make a Chinese-centric iPhone ? China got the same iPhone 4 that everyone else got.

Doesn't make sense to me at all.

Yes, China got the same iPhone4 as everyone else. However, none of the iPhones to date (3G, 3Gs, 4) support the 3G network in China. All of the phones either operate on Edge or GPRS.

A China centric iPhone will finally support 3G there.
 
they are releasing a cheaper iPhone model for markets like china because, according to wikipedia, china currently has "916,530,000" cellphone users, roughly 1/5th of the worlds cell users. Thats a pretty large market! Although this certainly does not mean that all 916,530,000 (and growing) cellphone users own iPhones or even a smart phones for that matter, they would a hell of a lot more likely to buy one the cheaper it is.
 
Ming-Chi Kuo said no iPhone 5.
Andy Hargreaves said no iPhone 5.
Moscowitz says there would be iPhone 5.
Now, should I wait for Apple Announcement for iPhone or Shoot my ****ing brains out?:)

iPhone is in China, but available only on a small phone network, about 15% of the population. The new iPhone supposedly will make it available to the remaining 85% of the people.
