Very #interesting analysis: iPhone Low-cost Numbers

http://www.mondaynote.com/2013/01/20/iphone-low-cost-numbers/

I'm still wondering if Apple is going to follow the game of low-cost phones. It's like with netbooks = they couldn't do a $500 laptop that wasn't junk. But they did a $500 tablet and it wasn't/isn't junk (I'm using it right now :-)

The old-generation iPhone 4 is still a great phone, but I'm not sure it costs sub-$100 to manufacture... Anyway, prepaid phones are really cheap. I can go to Media Markt here in Europe and buy one, unlocked, for 20 EUR. I still don't think it's the kind of market Apple wants to be in.
