Say they came out with a low med and high end iPhone you can have upgraded like a MacBook would you buy stock or upgrade? FYI can not be upgraded yourself!

No way that will happen. Everything in the phone is pretty much smashed together, so it's not like popping in more memory or replacing a hard drive. I don't know what you think there is to really customize. I don't think there's a GPU, the CPU isn't going to change.
There will likely only be flash storage differences between models -- as well as colors. It's much cheaper to manufacture things when you don't start changing parts all over, which is what you're suggesting.

Nope, plan still costs too much. Although I do think a bit of diversity will give the iphone the sales kick it needs.
As a side note, does anyone think that diversifying a product in the later generations is part of apple's business plan? First they introduce a great product, let it saturate the market, they use a bit of new tech to refresh the look, feel & speed to give the product its second wind?
