WSJ: Less Expensive iPhone Could Come as Soon as This Year: This isn't rocket science: all Apple has to do is take the guts of an iPhone 5, and slap it in a plastic case, and use the non-retina screen from the iPhone 3GS, and sell it unlocked for \$250. Think of it as a \"3GS++\", that is a huge hit in the pre-paid market.

Hands on with Sharp’s unreal 32-inch 4K IGZO ‘Retina display’ as well as 8K and bendable displays: Want. (too bad about the high cost, though)
