A website is claiming that a leaked document suggests Apple is planning to sell an 8GB version of its colorful handset that would be more affordable than the current entry-level 16GB model. The iPhone 5C currently sits below the flagship iPhone 5S and above the entry-level iPhone 4S, and despite the fact that Apple is still selling record numbers of smartphones, the middle-tier model isnt performing as well as the other handsets. If a product fails to gain traction it is discontinued — like the Apple G4 Cube computer or Apple Newton — or is quickly refreshed and improved. If the document is completely authentic then it would suggest that Apple has found a way of lowering its prices without breaking its own rules.
