4S is probably not long for this world. Right now, its filling a gap both in the product shelf (free) and in an amortization-of-development-costs schedule somewhere. Plus, it allows for some extra profit taking from the 5C for the moment as people eschew the 4S.
I'll bet as 5C production ramps, the 4S goes away in X months. Its in Apple's long term best interests to get everyone on the same screen anyway...
- baddox 13y agoAre you suggesting that the base model 5C will become the free tier?
- rodedwards 13y agoYou bet -- in time, and depending on the contract, etc.
- graublau 13y agoAs a 4S owner, it's great news. Continued software support is nice...
- Pxtl 13y agoNot to mention the peripheral market needs to get onto the new port.
- rodedwards 13y agoHuh - I didn't realize the 4S still had the old port. Screen size and peripherals - 4S has to get phased out pretty quickly.
