Last week, we reported on a new rumor that Apple was working on a smaller and cheaper version of the iPhone (aka iPhone Nano) to increase market share against Google�s Android handsets.
Today, the Wall Street Journal confirms that according to their sources, Apple is indeed working on a less pricey version of the iPhone.The Wall Street Journal claims that the new, smaller iPhone will be available �at about half the price of Apple�s main line of iPhones.� The smaller iPhone is said to be sold alongside Apple�s main line of phones, which will provide consumers with more options.
The report also mentions that this new iPhone will be significantly lighter and will have an �edge-to-edge� screen, along with voice-based navigation for Maps. WSJ�s source also claims that Apple plans to upgrade the iPhone 4 as well.
The person who saw the prototype of the new iPhone said the device was significantly lighter than the iPhone 4 and had an edge-to-edge screen that could be manipulated by touch, as well as a virtual keyboard and voice-based navigation. The person said Apple, based in Cupertino, Calif., also plans to upgrade the iPhone 4.
