"We forecast that by 2016, 31% of the global overall handset market will be low-end smartphone," Ian Fogg, principal analyst at IHS, told the BBC.

A lot of debate on the thread has been should Apple offer a "cheap" iPhone. I think the question should be, should Apple offer a premium product at a lower price point. And I think the answer is probably yes, as that's where the major world wide growth will probably land. The low hanging fruit is gone from the high end smartphone market and will continue to decelerate. Win or lose share, we won't see >30% secular growth again.

Nokia's line up, thanks to Zak (as much as I hate to say that). Covering all bases. Should Apple move toward this? Maybe part way... an iPhone Nano?
