Apple has always been known as the Market Leader to sell high priced technologically high end phones. Well, many buyers due to the price steepness never even thought of buying. Seeing, recent trends of Samsung and other brands competing closely to Apple, Tim Cook kept the prices same of the iPhone 5.
Apple benefited due to its controlled price but lost due to technical glitches. Well, the talk of the town is that Apple is revising its prices. Umm not a wise move. They plan to keep a cheaper body cover for the iPhone made out of poly-carbonate plastic rather than an aluminium casing. Not a good option when public craves for the iPhone’s body lining.
