Low-Cost iPhone Coming Later this Year in Navy Blue, Gold, Orange and Many Other Colours [Rumor]

According to a new report from  the Japanese blog – Macotakara, a plastic casing low-cost iPhone is set to launch later this year, according to information from sources.

In addition, the Japanese blog – Macotakara reports that the low-cost iPhone will come in a variety of colors,  including navy blue, gold orange, white, gray, pink, green, blue and other options.

It was also reported that Apple will begin producing these low-cost iPhone on a small scale in June, with real mass production due to begin within 6-9 months.

From the Report:

 I have 2 information about color variation of cheaper iPhone from several sources. The first set is Navy, Gold Orange, White and Gray, and 2nd is White, Pink, Green, Blue and Yellow-orange. I can say one thing from these information, namely both sets do not contain Black model.

The source told me that cheaper iPhone will be produced 1,000 units for field test from June, and will be produced during July September for shipping.

And I got another information about iPhone 5S, which will be placed as flag-ship model when cheaper iPhone was shipped, will have dual-LED flash, and will be changed shape of mic-hole to be shaped as circle which is placed between iSight camera and flash.

I told iPhone 5S will have additional color, and now I heard new colors, green and gold model. iPhone 5S may have more than 3 color models.

Last information is for iPad 5th generation. The source told me that back microphone hole, which was removed from iPod mini product however it was placed on prototype, will be added on this new iPod. And he told iPad 5th may support standard SIM nor than only support data-SIM. Unfortunately, new iPad will be shipped after iPhone 5S, the source said.

This article contradicts a recent report from Digitimes, which suggest that Apple will launch a low-cost iPhone  at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2013 in June. However, the Cupertino-based company is likely to ship in small volume to test the market.
