Analyst says cheaper iPhones on the way

A Morgan Stanley analyst has predicted that Apple may introduce a line of cheaper iPhones in June.

"We expect Apple to launch new iPhones in June that offer both a lower total cost of ownership and new functionality, potentially including gesture-based technology," Katy Huberty wrote in an investor note obtained by AppleInsider.

Analyst says cheaper iPhones on the way"We [also] expect Apple to ship its first iPad and announce additional content deals in late March to better than expected demand. We see the iPad targeting the sub-$800 consumer notebook market which equates to 30M annual units just in the US (120M globally."

Huberty explained that the "biggest barriers" to increased iPhone adoption was hardware costs followed by service plans.

"The investment in the device has been its biggest issue in both developed markets like the US and emerging ones like China," she added.

Really it doesn’t matter lowering the price because people that are still under contract are going to break contracts for the new phone and have to pay that higher price range. What they should do is add 5 or maybe 10 dollars more to the
data price for people on ATT with an iPhone already because another 30 is ridiculous. The new features are a major issue. Do people realize we haven’t had a major update for damn near a year? This once a year is crazy. I understand new phone
every year but people are going to buy a new phone with or without OS updated. A better newer phone speaks for itself.
