Phones Review — ... that Apple just doesn’t do cheap, so will no doubt sell via Wal-Mart but at the same price point and capacity. Really, can you remember a product from Apple that has received a downgrade in memory, I can’t. So the likelihood of them doing so with the famous iPhone is negligible to say the least. Apple discontinued the original 4GB iPhone for a reason, and to be honest the bottom line is, if Apple can shift so many at the price it is at now, why lower the price? Source – wired ...
