Telephone News: New iPhone ‘Nano’ On the Market?
The tech news sphere was set alight earlier on this week after rumours surfaced from the company paper, Bloomberg BusinessWeek that Apple could be operating on creating an iPhone ‘nano’ in an try to capture the lucrative spending budget mobile telephone sector. The paper claims that following years of speculation, Apple is still working on a spending budget version of its flagship consumer device.
A supply from the publication stated its supply came from ‘people who had been briefed on the plans’ and that at least one other supply had observed a working prototype that was a minimum of a third smaller than the present iPhone 4 and makes use of existing components from the current generation to cut on production costs whilst the more pricey premium components are held back for its yet to be launched iPhone 5.
Additional interest into the ‘nano’ iPhone was raised after the Wall Street Journal backed up the previous claims of a spending budget offering being lined up from Apple. Also rumoured was a revamp of its MobileMe service due to flagging sales and low subscription numbers, having a possibility of announcing that the service will probably be totally free to iPhone users and will probably be changed from a synchronised offering of mail, contacts and calendar to a digital content material platform exactly where users could back data as much as. It could also consist of the long rumoured streaming service for iTunes after Apple’s acquisition of the streaming based website Lala.
Unfortunately this news, whilst backed up by ’sources’ cannot be taken as confirmation, as all through the iPhone’s history there have been continuous rumours of a smaller budget model mobile telephone offering from Apple throughout the years.
The rumoured sources also leaked info that Apple might intend to make the forthcoming iPhone 5 a ‘world phone’ by such as GSM and CDMA technologies, as it had to launch a CDMA iPhone 4 variant in its house marketplace to please American consumers. A teardown of the CDMA device discovered that the technologies and hardware were in location for a ‘world phone’ version, but the lack of a SIM card slot was the only factor from stopping the business from launching it, preferring to release two different devices.
The iPhone ‘Nano’ will also have competitors from the newly released, and formerly Palm, HP Veer smartphone. Launched in the beginning of February, the Veer is an evolution of Palm’s Pre line of phones, with models becoming provided in small, medium, and large sizes. The Veer being the smallest, the Pre3 becoming the medium sized device along with a new internet OS powered tablet, the TouchPad, finishing the big providing.
Only time shall tell whether or not these rumours prove to be true as getting a budget device inside a manufacture’s line up can prove to be a killer choice as observed with HTC’s Wildfire handset which offers premium looks at an affordable cost.
It would allow networks to provide the telephone on well priced pay as you go plans that cater towards the consumer’s requirements.
