We've had had so many reports of lower orders from critical suppliers, that it is impossible to come to any conclusion other than one of substantially lower iPhone sales than Apple had hoped for. 

Let us hope that Apple lowers prices to try and spur on sales. 

Oh great, Mr. Depressing is back.
Rumours from foreign media and vague unofficial statements from foreign suppliers with no legal obligation to tell the truth make it impossible to derive ANY conclusions.
Foxconn is an enormous company with a client list that includes many tech companies doing much more poorly than Apple.
Why would Apple lower prices when the value proposition of owning their products hasn't changed?
Just crawl back to MacRumours if you have nothing to add but specious and unfounded claptrap!
