iPhone Lite - Yes or No

[cellocello]

The current offerings will continue to get cheaper - perhaps this can be looked at as an iPhone "lite". Though I wouldn't look at it that way. (put it another way: when then 2009 Mustangs came out, did you consider the 2008 Mustang the 'Mustang Lite'?)

Will Apple produce a phone with less capability than the current iPhone? NO.

Dear God no!

Yes, I think that if Apple releases a higher end iPhone then they will retain the current line of iPhones. In other words, iPhone Pro and iPhone (like Mac Pro and iMac) not iPhone and iPhone nano (like iPod and iPod nano). Thinner, lighter, cheaper - yes, over time.

Analyst Mike Abramsky has also made some predictions along these lines. He believes Apple "will announce an updated iPhone 3G 'Pro'" at its annual developers conference this year.

What would an iPhone "Pro" do? allow you to send longer SMS messages? Maybe Photoshop Mobile? Seriously, think about what Pro means, and then think about what an iPhone is, and you'll realize that the two are mutually exclusive.

You have to think of it in the context of MacBook and MacBook Pro. MacBook isn't really limited, it's just not as powerful or as advanced.

I did, and on that basis it makes absolutely no sense... Would a "more powerful" iPhone Pro make faster phone calls?
