CLSA: Apple will release a 5-inch «iPhone Maxi» until the end of the year

Analysts from the Hong Kong-based CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets say that Apple is testing for four prototype iPhone, and one of them has a display with a diagonal of 5 inches. Observers note that the company is likely to bring to market this version of the device that budget model iPhone, which is also in test labs in Cupertino.

According to CLSA, Apple now holds the testing of four different modifications iPhone: updated version of the iPhone 5, known as «iPhone 5S», model «iPhone Maxi» with a display of 4.8 to 5 inches, and one or two low-cost version of «iPhone mini». Of course, the fact that Apple is testing prototypes of these devices does not mean that they will go on sale.

While many are saying it is about the budget model, the experts believe that the idea of ​​a cheap iPhone contradicts the strategy and brand image of Apple, and therefore such a device is unlikely to emerge. Much more likely to find themselves in the stores at version «iPhone Maxi». 

"For Apple, it'll be easier to allow customers a selection between the quality model of iPhone and iPhone maxi with 5 in. show, moreover, it doesn't cause a big reduction within the margin" - said in a research note, Nicholas Baratta of CLSA. 

However, experts predict that if Apple did release two versions of the alleged - iPhone Mini and iPhone Maxi, then in 2014, the company shipped a total of 286 million of its smartphones.

Recall, on the eve of the Taiwanese edition DigiTime reported that the inexpensive version of iPhone, which has not yet been officially announced, Apple does exist and is studying the possibility of mass production of such a gadget. Moreover, such a device will receive a transparent body, through which you can see some of the internal components that are normally hidden from the eyes of the owner.

Cheap iPhone attributed transparent case

Low-cost version of iPhone, which has not yet been officially announced, can get a transparent housing, said DigiTime. As stated by the Taiwanese edition, though Apple is exploring possibilities production of such a gadget for many years, this plan is well advanced, and less expensive version of the smartphone will be released later this year. Moreover, the new device will get a transparent body, through which you can see some of the internal components that are normally hidden from the eyes of the owner.

According to sources, the production of housing for low-cost iPhone will an American company, whose name is not disclosed. One way to reduce the cost of the product - not polycarbonate plastic and cheaper material for the body, which also will be completely transparent. Other details remain the same or may be from older model iPhone. The mass production of affordable smartphone start in the foreseeable future, points DigiTime.

We recall a few days ago in the face of Apple Phil Schiller has denied the possibility of production budget version iPhone. Vice president acknowledged that China's “cheap smartphones” are common unit, however noted that Apple doesn't contemplate itself to the likelihood of manufacturing such product.

WSJ: Apple reduces the volume of orders for screens for iPhone 5 "because of low demand"

Newspaper The Wall Street Journal, citing the Japanese Nikkei portal reports that Apple is almost halved the number of orders for release for the iPhone 5 because the demand for the device was below forecasts.

Initially, the American manufacturer was planning to I quarter of 2013 to receive about 65 million mobile panels from companies Japan Display, Sharp and LG Display, but Apple is supposedly addressed to partners with the application to reduce the volume of orders. According to the source, Japan Display at its plant in Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan will reduce its output components to 75% in comparison with the volume of IV quarter of 2012, while the Sharp factory in Mie Prefecture reduce the volume by 40%. Earlier last plant was busy producing mobile screens for smartphones Apple.

Some analysts do not share the belief in the WSJ that the decline in orders for displays for the iPhone 5 is due to "low demand" to the device. It can also talk about reducing the life cycle of "apple" of smartphones. According to some reports, Apple may introduce a new model of iPhone in the beginning of this year. This benefit is the fact that the company already did so with a full-size tablet iPad - the fourth generation of this device came nearly six months after the previous model. First manufacturer stood between updates about iPad annual pause.

According to rumors, Apple is considering using the phone in the next  iPhone 5S  brand new screens, manufactured by technology «touch-on-display». They are thinner, stronger and have a higher level of sensitivity to touch. If successful test panels will be tested in the laboratories of Apple, the company Innolux - manufacturer of a new generation of displays - will become a key supplier of Cupertino corporation.

Apple set up iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 in March

New iPad tablets 5 and iPad mini 2 will be presented in March 2013, according to Brian White of Company Topeka Capital Markets. According to industry analysts at CES 2013 he was able to obtain confidential information from Asian partners Apple. The new version of a full-sized gadget will look like a younger brother, he is also lighter and thinner than conventional tablet and the second generation mini-tablet will be equipped with display Retina.

According to White, the updated iPad will be similar to the iPad mini, introduced in October, it will be lighter and smaller than the traditional version by 4 mm high, 17 mm wide and 2 mm in depth. Screen size is 9.7 inches, but the display will have fewer LEDs, which are used for illumination.

iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will be the first update Apple, which will take place in such a short time, the analyst said. In October, the company released a smaller version of its "tablets» - iPad mini and full-size fourth-generation iPad. The latter was presented within six months after the release of the tablet traditional size - iPad 3.

Screen size iPad mini is 7.9 inches thick gadget - 7.2 mm. This is less than in the last generation iPad 4, the screen size is 9.7 inches and a thickness of 9.4 mm. In the second iteration, "Minicom" will receive a long-awaited Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, will retain the same screen size.

After the presentation of iPad mini and iPad 4 experts have begun to suggest that shortening the launch of new devices into new market segments and diversified line of devices - an attempt to sharpen the competition with Google. However, some analysts believe that the presentation of these gadgets just five months after the previous looks unlikely, as this has a negative impact on sales of current models.

According to research firm IDC, in 2012, Apple's share of the tablet market was 53.8%. The share of tablet-based Android rose to 42.7% from. Total for the year 2012 was sold 122.3 million tablets.

Bloomberg: iPhone at a price of $ 99 to $ 149 will be released at the end of the year

This is the third source of the web says about the inevitability of the release of the budget version of the smartphone iPhone. Thus, according to news agency Bloomberg, referring to its sources in the company, Apple is working on a compact version of the iPhone, designed for emerging markets. The device will be available in late 2013.

Unofficial information that Apple is developing low-cost version of its smartphone appears regularly for the past few years, but it has not yet been confirmed. Until now, instead of developing an affordable iPhone California company just reduced the price of the previous versions of your device immediately after the more modern generation.

Sources claim that Apple is planning to change that strategy. According to Bloomberg, the company is currently developing a version of the iPhone, which will cost from 99 to 149 dollars. The new smartphone will be used less expensive compared to the iPhone 5 components and materials of the body, it will also be smaller. It is designed specifically for emerging markets, where the normal version was not widely used because of cost.

Observers believe Bloomberg, iPhone out of the budget is not enough to compete with other manufacturers of smartphones - especially with Samsung. The analysts of the company J'son & Partners Consulting doubt that Apple - one of the leaders of the media industry - go the way of its nearest competitors. 

"Of course, Apple understands that under competition to fill other niches, including the price, but it goes the other way. For example, along with the new iPhone 5 on sale still have the old model iPhone 4S, and even there yet iPhone 4 at a lower price. There is some doubt that together with the full version of iPhone will be released model "for the poor." Although an example of flexibility in the value segment, the company still appears, for example, with the release iPad mini, which has become a popular full-length counterpart. In this regard, firm conclusions about the future strategy of the corporation is too early to do "- said the expert J'son & Partners Consulting. 

Apple itself has traditionally refused to comment on the matter.

WSJ: Apple working on a low-cost iPhone

According to the authoritative publication Wall Street Journal, referring to its sources at Apple, Cupertino-based company for several years considering the issue of the budget version of iPhone. More accessible "apple" smartphone, aimed to compete with low-cost Android-communicators, filling the mobile market, it may come out in late 2013. It will be made of cheaper materials.

Yesterday that Apple is preparing a low-cost iPhone,  reported Taiwan edition DigiTime . Today he was joined by resource Wall Street Journal. Argues that there is supposedly a prototype of such a device. On the technical characteristics of the gadget no information, but we can safely assume that the Retina-display it likely to be. It is reported that the body of the phone with an aluminum coating can be used in plastic. Other details remain the same or can be recycled from the old models. However, Apple may abandon those plans, notes the WSJ.

Analysts believe that the production of low-cost iPhone will be an abrupt change in the concept of Apple. Steve Jobs at the company's commitment goods production premium. Apparently, the position of the leadership Apple has affected the competitive war with the producers of Google phone very successfully operating in the Asian markets.

Apple faced a lot of pressure to make the iPhone more affordable, the newspaper notes. In III quarter 2012, according to analysts, the company produced only 14.6% of smartphones worldwide, down from a peak of 23% in the IV quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012. In comparison, the share of Samsung in the market has grown in III quarter of 2012 to 31.3% from 8.8% for the same period of 2010.

Budget iPhone appear in the second half of 2013

Emerging markets in countries such as China, Russia and India are attracted smartphone manufacturers, as it is associated with growth potential. Apple - not the exception, But for the iPhone popularity of these communicators are far from saturated markets is difficult because of the high prices. The situation can fix a budget version of "apple" smartphone, whose debut, according to DigiTimes, held in the second half of 2013.

According to Taiwanese portal samples cheap iPhone for emerging markets, especially China, already exist. Device is assigned a large screen and a "completely new look." It is assumed that such a device will repeat the success of the iPad mini, which this year, analysts attributed nearly half of all circulation iPad.

Referring to members of the supply chain DigiTimes writes that there is a low-cost iPhone in the form of study samples, equipped with 5-inch screens. This is curious, since the display size of the flagship iPhone 5 is four inches. Information about screen resolution budget version Apple-smartphone not.

It is possible that in order to reduce the cost of Apple uses in the new model SoC Qualcomm with a 2-core processor, and not a platform of its own design. Thus, DigiTimes confirms the information that the U.S. company will soon be available on the market phones.

Analysts: Apple bets on wearable computers

Watches and sunglasses Apple - is the visible signs of the impending era of wearable computers, said Gene Munster of research firm Piper Jaffray. IPhone and iPad manufacturer engaged in the development of so-called"Points of the future» iGlass, which displays digital images directly on the lens. The idea of ​​such a device is to allow people to see the data and images on special lenses, and without having to look at the world through the lens.

Technology, patented Apple in this area have not yet reached a level of maturity that would run it in production. But it can happen soon. If this happens, computerized glasses become a new major discovery in the field of personal computing, the analyst said.

With clever clock all the easier. According to Piper Jaffray, the Cupertino company has the potential to release a portable companion for smartphones and tablets in the next two years. In case of success, as a convenient extension of tablets, "smart" watches also have a chance to replace or oust smartphones. Rumors about the imminent opening of the device are already .

According to some, the "smart" clock iWatch receive a small 1.5-inch display. The device will connect to mobile phones and tablets iPhone iPad with Bluetooth 4.0 wireless interface to perform a variety of tasks, such as notification about calls for alarm, SMS and other notices. Answer calls from them can be more useful.

Perhaps, Apple would not hurry with the glasses and watch, but the interest in this area by Google may force the company to take steps in this direction. This is the area where the Internet company shows some advantage in the development of new technologies. In early 2013, the project points Project Glass promises to become a reality in the form of field trials on human volunteers. Actually, Microsoft is also interested in such projects. Apple is God himself commanded to think about the practical implementation of portable PCs.

Samsung may abandon Android in 2013

Samsung has officially announced its intention to start selling smartphone operating system Tizen, developed jointly with Intel. The first devices based on the new OS will be released in 2013, the performance and cost of devices to be announced.

Observers believe that Samsung opted for Tizen in the effort to reduce its growing dependence on the successful operating system Android, especially in light absorption Google mobile phone manufacturer Motorola Mobility for $ 12.5 billion last spring.

Tizen is the operating system open source on the kernel Linux. It is designed for smartphones, tablets, laptops, televisions, navigation devices and other electronics. Development of the OS are Samsung and Intel with support from the Linux Foundation.

Samsung aims to facilitate its growing dependence on Google for fear of weakening its leadership position in the smartphone market. Analysts believe that in the future the Korean company can completely eliminate the use of Android, with the result that Google will lose its largest partner in the mobile market.

It is known that devices based Tizen Samsung product line will replace the inexpensive communicator platform bada. The intention to combine the two projects - Tizen and bada - the company announced in January last year.

iPhone 5S will be available in five colors and with displays of different sizes

Update of the current model smartphone iPhone 5 will be much bigger than expected, said Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White, quoted by the blog MacRumors. According to experts, the new Apple phone will be released in five color options, similar to the iPod touch last generation.

This step will be for Apple unconventional. Of all his gadgets Cupertino manufacturer produces different color scheme only multimedia players. And the iPod touch was launched in different colors - silver, black, blue, yellow and red - only in the last generation. According to the analyst, so Apple «sets the stage" for the launch of colored smartphones iPhone. Following color variety compact touch tablet iPad mini, experts said.

I must say that for other manufacturers of mobile devices, especially with regard to versions running Windows Phone, bright saturated colors are their hallmark. This is most clearly demonstrated by recent announcements of Nokia and HTC. Apple, beginning with iPhone 3G, which debuted in 2008, produces smartphones only in white and black casing. And the front panel was originally a black back panel with a color she received from the iPhone 4 in 2010.

The expert Topeka Capital Markets assumes that the next Apple smartphone will come with a different diagonal screen. The new model iPhone, according to White, will be available not only with a 4-inch screen, but also with a 3.5-inch display. The next generation of "apple" phones will be presented in II-III quarter of 2013, analysts predict.

Earlier, Peter Misek of research firm Jeffries said the iPhone 5S will have a more powerful battery, support for NFC, better camera, screen resolution Retina +, which manufacturing technology IGZO will deal with Sharp, and for the first time will include a 128 GB built-in flash memory.

This situation has caused concern producers ultrathin laptops. The main pressure on the market ultrabook comes from the value of their prototype - MacBook Air, since Apple wants to reduce the cost of current models on the eve of the launch of new, eroding demand for similar solutions from other vendors.

According to sources, in June, "EIR" will undergo a number of changes. They do not affect the external design of machines and will be exclusively internal. It is a new line of computer processors used in the MacBook Air. The exhibition CES 2013 Intel will introduce the fourth generation Core processors, code-named Haswell. That they have to be part of the updated Apple laptops 2013 release.

Since the main advantage of Haswell is the increased level of energy, their use will make the design of laptops even thinner and increase the rate of battery life. Another advantage of the new chips are built-in graphics core, which saw the most marked increase in performance over previous generation processors.

In 2013, Apple plans to ship 17 million notebook MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
