Apple's budget iPhone: A iPhone with a plastic panel

Apple has been rumored to launch a cheaper iPhone model in the market. According to the Cuhiep, the vietnamese guys who leaked the pictures of iPhonec 4 prior to its launch, which turned out to be true, now claims that Apple is planning to launch a cheaper phone in the market known as iPhone 4s, which bears close resemblance to the iPhone 4.

It is reported that this cheaper phone is made out of the left over parts of the iPhone 4. So, it will have almost all the parts which is essential to make it work faster, except a few like its outer panel and the changed chipset.

It is said that the iPhone 4s will have either the same chipset Dual-core A5 or it will work on the single core A4 chipset.

Besides the chipset, the bigger change that you will find in this phone is the uses of the plastic panels, which will replace the glass panels. Glass panels are expensive to afford, so to make a cheaper phone they might replace the two-glass panel with the plastic ones. It is also said that the iPhone4s will be faster and lighter than the iPhone 4. The leaked pictures of iPhone 4S also reveal that the iPhone 4s is sleeker than the iPhone 4. But how efficient it would be to work on the plastic panel that is quite difficult to guess.

The price of this phone is speculated to be around $200 to $350 along with the contract. This phone is made for the budget Apple lovers and is likely to pay a visit to India after it is formally acknowledged or announced.
