There are plenty of speculating about rumors floating around that Apple is going to make a second, more cost-effective iPhone. But in light of just offering the same smartphone with different capacities, Apple may release a brand new model with some features that milks iCloud. While the iPhone 5 covers the majority of the population, this new smartphone would be focused at a fresh new demographic.
Electronista reports that 3 nameless sources report that Apple could release a cloud based iPhone which would coincide with the primary launch of the iPhone 5. Kind of like an Apple TV/iPhone compound. All the applications and media would be stored on the cloud. It's allegedly been called the iCloud iPhone. This would drastically reduce the cost of the device by doing without one of the more costly parts, the flash storage.
Without the flash storage, the iCloud iPhone could hit the market with a price of $350.00, instead of the $600.00 price of a contract-less phone. This opens the likelihood of selling the phone without contracts from major carriers. Truly exciting!
Cloud based computing is relatively new and Google is rolling out something similar with its laptop lineup.
Non-the-less, a telephone with cloud storage could essentially change the way in which we interact with our mobile devices. A recent study exposed that very few people understand the concept of cloud storage. This may give Apple a big advantage in their promoting of the iCloud iPhone. Just think about the name Kleenex.
Wether or not this turns out to be true is anyone's guess at about that point. But one thing rings true, that a cloud based, contract free smartphone would rule the smartphone market and help Apple Computers to remain the number one cell phone manufacturer in the world. This move would also give Android, Mango, Palm and Blackberry phones a serious challange as each company struggles to grow its market share.
