We’ve heard it time and time again – Apple will release an ‘economy’
iPhone. In the end, bargain hunters usually end up with the option to
buy last years model at a discount price. Well, according to KGI Securities analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo (reveal-er of 4S specs), it’s definitely happening this
year. What’s interesting about his proclamation is that he is claiming
that it will be a new iPhone internally, but using the frame of the
iPhone 5. Here’s a diagram to help better drive the point.
It is very likely that Apple could save on some funds with a recycled
body, especially with many other insiders reporting that Apple is tired
of losing the “screen wars,” meaning they would like to extend on their
current screen real-estate. If it is to happen, it would break the
current trend of iPhone bodies being recycled two-years.
According to Kuo, Apple’s cheap iPhone will have a “super-thin plastic casing mixed with glass fiber” so it’s strong but cheaper to manufacturer than an aluminum frame. The cheaper iPhone will allegedly come in a variety of colors, and be thinner than the current iPhone.

It is expected that Apple will hold an announcement this summer, which will reveal the new predecessor to the successful iPhone line.
