Apple plans to provide a cheaper version of its popular iPhone on Monday, may help the company increase its market share in smartphones, according to a Financial Times report.
Analysts said in the article that Apple wants to show a $ 149 phone and $ 99 on your phone in the world developer conference. Currently, the lower price of the device is $ 199, subsidized in exchange for AT & T contract.
The fact that the economic downturn is not increased only makes such a move more feasible. One analyst said that the $ 50 price reduction could lead to increased demand by 50 percent, but $ 100 reduced to 100 per cent.
Throughout the world, Apple is unlikely to cell leader: she sells about 11 percent of the world's smartphones, trailing Nokia, 41 percent of Research In Motion and 20 per cent, according to Gartner, in the first quarter.
Further complicating these figures start to be very pre-Palm smartphone from June 6, and the bevy of Google Android-phones thanks to the energy to start this summer.
Regardless of price, analysts still expect Apple to introduce a new iPhone on Monday, the package of new features. It is scheduled to begin production in July with Apple in the iPhone OS 3.0.
