Will You Buy A $99 iPhone?
Apple is always known for being associated with
great quality, yet over-priced gadgets. The company’s philosophy of
never downgrading any of it’s products
has never be debated. Now that Steve Jobs is no more, it appears Apple
might flex its muscles a little under the new CEO Tim Cook. Reuters reports
that Apple is considering iPhones with 4.7-inch, 5.7-inch screens
including a cheaper product which will be priced at $99. This idea of
Apple actually releasing a lower end iPhone will certainly raise an eye
brow or two. But if the company needs to grow it’s market in China,
India and Africa, cheaper gadgets has to be pushed to ensure it becomes a
reality.
If this piece of information become a reality, other Chinese products which have started sweeping the Africa markets will face stiff competition. Any Apple product stamped with a cheap price
as $99 would be an automatic by for many people, but it may not
entirely work-out as Apple would want, as consumers now think 10-times
better than before. If the $99 iPhone is downgraded to the maximum,
consumers might see it as a complete rip-off.
