Okay so as usual, BGR has caught wind of some important iPhone release updates. As we all know, Android is releasing phones at every price point ranging from low-end all the way up to really really high-end faster than we mobile junkies can keep up with. While most polls still show the iPhone as the most sought after smartphone individually, iOS is losing ground quickly to Android as it floods the market. IMO, Apple will not be able to stay on top of the mobile industry without doing exactly what is stated in this article. Offer mid- to high-range phones for the major carriers including phones with lower specs for the more common user, and release an affordable retail-priced phone for prepaid users.
Furthermore, it's great news for us!!! Apple has always been criticized for its lack of user options both within its operating system and in its phone selection, this is one key step in the right direction to mend that reputation. Accompanied with the many patent lawsuits coming at makers of Android phones (http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/16/judge-finds-htc-guilty-of-infringing-two-apple-patents-could-mean-trouble-for-android/) this could spell trouble for Apple competitors.
