Analysts Expect Cheaper Models In 2009
It looks like the rumor germ has spread to big time news broadcasters CNN. The major news network predicts that Apple may be debuting cheaper iPhone and MacBook models this year.
According to Craig Berger, an analyst with Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co, Apple may be getting ready to introduce a “lower-cost version” of the extremely popular iPhone. Berger wrote in a research note: “Some call this device the iPhone nano…Whatever one calls it we believe this device is on its way.”
Berger added that there’s the possibility of “a new and smaller version of the iPhone shuffle” in the middle of the first quarter and a cheaper MacBook notebook, though he dispelled rumors that the portable computer will meet the criteria as a netbook.
There is no word on whether or not the products will be released in time for the MacWorld expo.
