#I think if Apple launched a "budget" phone it would destroy much of the Android market. Maybe it would damage their brand though, who knows. The battle lines between IOS and Android are more around choice and configurability, not so much price. IOS has a standard set of highly polished features. Android has more features, but they don't integrate as well as they do in IOS, nor do they have the polish. Add hardware configurations, phone sizes, etc and you have a very diverse Eco-system with Android. Most Android users I know wouldn't want an iPhone at almost any price. So, no market destroying would occur.
