      AnonD-155636, 26 Feb 2014How is the iPhone a mid-ranger? It can play intensive games... moreBcoz of its specs of current mid-range phones- size, processor etc- even below the size of mid-range android.Low end phones like Moto G will be shy having quad core and 720p screen where it costs less than 1/4th of apple premium. May be iP-6 will cure all these but i can guess the price of it

The stress on the phone's saphire screen will be 9 times higher than that of the watch. Let's see how it stand.

                Based on the article, changing to sapphire only adds 9 dollars to production cost.

On the other side, they have always made only premium phones. But still, since Jobs died I am looking forward to seeing Apple delivering on these rumors - Jobs has always been constricting their development - like calling mini tablets useless or restricting the screen size on their phones when it would have made sense just to release a bigger screened model.(His Philosophy on tablets and phones are a bit contradicting)

Wait and see, history has proven for the pricing to remain the same, with the exception of the 5S, which increased in price in some markets.

Very few of us here are experts in that field. It's pointless to critique something we can't test, let alone understand properly.

                                    Sapphire does not help the phone to perform better but make it not affordable!

                                    Bad bad strategy!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      How is the iPhone a mid-ranger? It can play intensive games, it feels premium, and it has a app selection that can do pretty much anything you want. Android is great too, but it all depends on which phone you buy.

                                        I suggest other companies that make discounts for smartphones that sell, how it looks when it goes on sale iPhone 6 everything else it takes to end, because he is the king, as Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Dubai, as Elvis Presley in the roc & roll music, like Michael Jackson in pop music, as Leo Messi in football, as Dr.Dre in hip-hop music, like Michael Jordan in basketball ..... as a Siberian Tiger.

                                        As it seems with these specs and design that will be, will be a true boom, example:

                                        1.Dimension.- 4.7 inch FHD - Retina & IGZO - Sapphire glass
                                        2.Memory.- 2 GB RAM
                                        3.Battery.- 2300mAh
                                        4.Camera.- 12 MP
