Prepare For Cheaper iPhones…Or Not

First of all, let me try to rephrase the title...do you think "less expensive iPhones" sounds better? Since an entire planet is running to get best possible price for every product, it's not that easy to reach a target sales number as large as millions without cutting the prices and, according to analysts, that's exactly what Apple should do with the iPhone...

When the iPhone was launched, Apple said its target is to sell 10 millions by the end of this year, and now they only have about 11 months remaining. Since its launch, the iPhone got its prices dropped once, but that doesn't seem to be enough now.

According to a report by Priya Ganapati, Apple reached the 4 million mark, but to get to that target they set as high as 10 by the end of the year, they have to sell an average of 2.5 million iPhones per quarter, with 0.2 millions more than last holiday season!

Ezra Gottheil, Technology Business Research analyst, says "The number is a challenge, but unless the global economy slows down profoundly, Apple will make it happen", and I can't do anything else than agree with that. Even more, if US consumers need less expensive iPhones to buy more of them, it's useless to add how much a price drop would help Apple's smart phone to get better sales in the rest of the world.

Now, that the glow has been thrown officially, we have to see when they decide to grab it and do the right thing. Hopefully, before it's too late...
