According to the latest news reports, Apple might be considering to produce iPhone 5 Lite and unveil it at the same time with the normal one. Reports claim that iPhone 3GS and iPad 1s are just selling in greater number than the equivalent devices in the Android market.

Michaell Walkley of Canaccord Genuity claimed that Apple is following a new strategy to increase the revenue of Apple in the low end smartphone market, which is currently under invasion of Android devices. As we know, iPhone 4 has became the top selling smartphone up to now, but iPhone 3GS is still in the shelves and outselling some of the Android devices like HTC Inspire and Motorola Atrix on AT&T.

Comscore data claims the similar with Walkley, while Android is growing in the market, its growth is not hampering the Apple’s share in the market. The idea of producing a lite version is came up to surface when the price of iPhone 3GS dropped to $49 from $99 on a two-year contract. This showed that actually there is still a demand to low end devices. By the way, Apple is currently focusing on the iOS more than the hardware, and will demonstrate the future of iOS in the WWDC 2011. This might be a sign that Apple may revamp the iOS for low end devices.

Rumors suggest Apple may produce iPhone 5′s lite version from the iPhone 4 fundamentals, the design may remain similar to iPhone 4, but they should replace the expensive parts like the glass back, for instance they might use cheaper aluminum back part, also the screen size would definitely be reduced. In order not to degrade the user experience, they might use A5 cpu with lower memory.

These are just options which reduces the production costs, so Apple might be interested in taking a share in the low end market, so iPhone 5 lite with a cheaper price is a nice revenue generator for this goal.
