While waiting for a hypothetical a nano iPhone in June, the rumour that Apple will launch a iPhone 3G equipped with only 4 GB of memory comes again to the surface.
The economic crisis having passed by; thus to decrease the quantity of memory (the most expensive component of the iPhone) would make it possible to propose an entry line model sold at a low price by the operators, and this would widen the market of Apple; Apple would then recover the shortfall later on at the AppStore.
All possible routes are certainly studied by Apple to lower to the maximum the selling price of the iPhone without cutting down too much on its margins.
