@monkbent I think you hit on something w/ 5 being 'good enough', there aren't any big items on aapl todo list except maybe smaller LTE chips -
@CHOOSEBlake not sure what needed improving on the 4S, to be honest.

@monkbent Screen size, thickness, LTE, fragile backing (glass, repair costs, etc), 30 pin connector, just off top of my head.

@monkbent Not sure if consumers will feel the same emotions on buying a clearly cheap device! -
@Gagan 2750元 is not cheap though. That's why it might work. Plus, the colors will be very conspicuous -
@monkbent Exactly. Not cheap enough to compete with mid-range Androids. But cheap enough to signify that you can't afford the 5s!

@monkbent ah missed footnotes 3. What will Apple do with all the iPhone 5 production lines and tooling? -
@FarshadNayeri 5S, probably. Who knows? I'm probably totally wrong :) -
@monkbent this also means Apple has to flush the inventory of 5's that are already in channel. That'd be unusual.

@monkbent having an iPhone is more a prestige thing there, which is bolstered by the high price consumers pay for the device. (cont'd)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@monkbent re: footnote 2. I'm not sure Apple can get the pricing right from an unsubsidised markets pov at all. As you point out, (cont'd)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
