    The comparison to net books is the discussion-stopping point here. Apple responded to netbooks with the MacBook Air. Apple may respond to the cheapfone with an iPhone mini. Cut the LTE, keep it 8GB, keep it 256MB of RAM, keep a 480x320 smaller screen and full compatibility with all apps, and give it an A6 processor. Make it smaller, but with no compromises in build quality. Sell it for $300.

    I meant 480x320, fixed my post. It's not terrible specs compared to the 3GS. With an A6, performance will not suffer.

    Why would Apple give a cheap phone their latest processor?
    Because it's not a cheap phone, and the processor isn't the greatest expense when you consider economies of scale and common components.
