A recent report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has Apple updating its iPhone lineup in 3Q13.

Take a look below...

Jay - January 17, 2013 at 3:09pm

Why are you guys still on this? Phil straight up said there will never be any low cost iPhone.

Remember what Phil Schiller says?They will use the latest technology available for the new products,If this is not A6x chip and Not Retina display,then Apple is a liar,and Apple will get ready for Reputation loss.

This looks just right!

Cook - January 17, 2013 at 4:26am

Apple won't make any affordable phones..They would have done this long time ago with laptop, PC and so on...Apple is not made with inferior hardware like others I don't have to mention.

odedoo1 - January 18, 2013 at 5:30am

Well Steve Jobs said that Apple will never make a mini iPad and guess what? he died and Tim did it so why believe any thing they say or we read?

Skyluck - February 12, 2013 at 12:38am

That because people want !!!! Why they Don't make a cheaper one !!!! Why they don't make a wider screen or bigger !!! Too much !!!!!!!!!!!

Jowell - January 17, 2013 at 4:13am

Thats a very good strategy making it affordable, reaching out those in the middle class. :P:) and it would be better too, if with different choice of colors. Let say ~ Yellow, Pink, Blue and Gold. ;)

Jailbreak iPhone 5 - January 16, 2013 at 7:11pm

The IPhone 5 mini

Kaleb J. - January 16, 2013 at 7:06pm

They might add the A6 in there.. Might. Or they'll do what they did with the iPad mini and add the A5.

6italia0 - January 16, 2013 at 6:28pm

So a 4S with a black anodized mid frame and an iPhone 5 look alike back, hmm ok

mavrik101 - January 16, 2013 at 7:41pm

Where will Apple get all these 3.5 inch screens? has there been recent orders placed? perhaps Apple will be recycling refurbished, iPod Touch 3rd and 4th Generation screens to met the quota? LOL ;)

Andrew - January 16, 2013 at 6:27pm

So.... An iPhone 4?

Disaster - January 16, 2013 at 10:04pm

Well it is a low-cost iphone. What do you expect? The newest and greatest components?

Kaleb J. - January 17, 2013 at 6:19am

Why wouldn't people just get an iPhone 4 then? Sure, it won't have turn-by-turn navigation, Siri, or the dual core processor, but if it's a cheap iPhone, why does that matter? The iPhone 4 8GB is free with a 2 year contract with at least 3 major carriers in the U.S., and comes in 8, 16, 32, or 64GB of storage. And, if one wants to jailbreak the phone, the Limera1n exploit works on all A4 devices on any firmware.

maxdam - January 17, 2013 at 11:14pm

Or buy off contract for like 200 or less from eBay!

odedoo1 - January 18, 2013 at 5:38am

wrong no 64GB iPhone 4.
