The problem is that people buy the iPhone because it's "exclusive". If they were to release a low-end, cheap iPhone, they would lose many customers, instead, in my opinion. The success of the iPhone relies, for a big portion, exactly on it being…

But... Can't Apple track the stolen devices, then? By following their UDIDs or MAC Addresses, when they connect to check for updates etc?

All references to "4G" or "LTE" disappeared from all european sites... Now they list technologies up to HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. I think this is a smart move, and I don't see why they didn't do that before. Even if we had commercial LTE networks read…
