Apologies, in advance, for the hijack, but the thread has already been hijacked and this topic (China and the cheap phone) has been discussed quite a few times already at this forum...
Maybe, but I doubt it. It will have 1 feature missing from it. I have no idea what that will be. But the discounted phone will sell in US/Canada and Europe and Australia, Japan, etc. Apple needs to realize that their market share is decreasing, and they need to reverse that before its too late.
The argument DF is that they already do, by selling the (right now) the 4S at a discount.
The next phone will allow people to buy the 5 at a discount (from today's prices) and I suspect that the 4S will be "free" on contract from most carriers after the introduction of the 5S or 6 next week.
No Apple event day is complete without this post. Because, well, you know, every Apple product announced through these presentations has been a complete fucking failure.

That's right, 64-bit ARM processor is a total fail.

IT'S NOT AN OCTO-CORE TWELVE ZIGGABIT CHIP???!?!?!?1111?!?Q1? Why does Apple charge so much for this cheap stuff??!/1/1/11/??
Um, the 5C is the same as the current iPhone 5 except in plastic. You callin' mah iPhone 5 crap, man? Huh? Huh?
The iPhone 5S is worth a look, though. 64-bit processor in a phone is somewhat of a deal.
Yeah i definitely can't see a reason to upgrade from my iP5. If Apple doesn't do something truly innovative with the next iPhone, i might just cross over to the dark side...

I'm honestly surprised they kept the 4S with its old 30pin connector...
Other than that, the 5S and 5C have turned out exactly like were rumored...
Yep, there were basically no surprises that I saw, except this was the first I'd heard of the M7.
Suits me, actually, because I won't feel bad about keeping my unlocked iPhone 5 for another year. Last year I sold my 4S to get a 5 -- happy to be on the major upgrade cycle after being on the "S cycle" for three years.
The presentation was far more technical/spec oriented than in the past. Less demonstrative in terms of usability/convenience/innovation. Still, a 64 bit processor is geek sexy.

I agree, however right now IMO it's useless give it a couple years then I will jump.
