Cheap iPhone 4 will be available
Apple's Asian suppliers began producing a cheap version of the best-selling iPhone 4 with a reduced memory capacity of 8 gigabytes, according to information received by Reuters reporters from two "competent" people.
A flash drive for iPhone 4 8Gb will be produced by a Korean company, an anonymous source said on Tuesday. Currently, Apple receives flash drives from the Japanese company Toshiba and the South Korean concern Samsung Electronics.
The persons who spoke as sources of information refused to introduce themselves, citing the secret nature of the data provided.

Apple, demanding a high level of secrecy and security from its employees and partners, declined to comment on this message, as Samsung did not.
The existing iPhone 4 was released for sale in June 2010 in versions with 16 and 32 gigabytes of memory. In April of this year, the release of the iPhone 4, made in the body in white.
Version of the iPhone 4 with 8 gigabytes of memory on board will be presented to the public in the coming weeks, sources say.
Some analysts suggest that the cheap version of the iPhone 4 will help Apple dramatically increase sales in emerging markets.
“Perhaps Apple expects to enter the segment of emerging markets, whose consumers want to switch from high-end phones to smart phones of low and medium price categories, which usually cost $ 150- $ 200, said Yuanta Securities analyst Bonnie Chang. “But I think the iPhone 4 8Gb will hardly fall below the $ 200 bar at a cost, so for the emerging markets, Apple will still need a completely new smartphone with low performance.”
iPhone 5 will be released in late September?
In addition to the start of sales of the “stripped down” fourth “iPhone”, Apple aims to launch the iPhone 5 at the end of September, one of the sources said, confirming reports previously received from specialized Internet resources.
The new iPhone 5, which some people call the iPhone 4s because of its strong similarity to the iPhone 4, will have a larger screen, a better antenna and an 8-megapixel camera, one source said.
Two manufacturers of iPhone 5 were ordered to prepare enough power to produce 45 million new smartphones, the source said. He added that these manufacturers are Hon Hai and Pegatron.
In the second quarter, Apple sold 20.34 million iPhone 4 smartphones against the planned 17-18 million and enthusiastically sees Asia as an opportunity to increase its profits in the future.
Executive Director Tim Cook said in July that Apple is particularly optimistic about Greater China. “I firmly believe that now we are just groping for the surface,” said Cook about China. “I think we have tremendous opportunities in China.”
The Asia-Pacific region (APR), which accounts for one-fifth of Apple's total revenues, and in particular Greater China, helped increase the company's revenue by 82%, to $ 28.6 billion in April-June.
Overall, Apple’s revenues in the APR more than tripled — to $ 6.3 billion per quarter.
