According to new rumors on the internet, Apple is all set release an iCloud phone. Now what is that? Well, as the name says it, the phone will be completely optimized for working with the new iCloud cloud service from Apple. The rumors also suggest that this phone will be having low on-board memory, as most of the memory for this will come from the cloud. As the on-board memory is low, the cost of the phone is also said to be low. AppleNMac reports this and following is an excerpt from the report:
Apple is releasing a low priced iCloud iPhone, apple icloud iphone, apple's icloud phone,
"The iPhone 5 will be a quality upgrade, but the star of the show will be the cheaper iCloud iPhone alternative. Apple wants to offer a lower priced iPhone while still maintaining their industry leading profit margins. According to our sources, Apple is going to do this by using less on board Flash memory which are also falling in price. When looking at the iSuppli cost breakdown of the parts of the iPhone 4, the storage accounts for 15% of the cost to build the device, and that's true for the 3GS as well. Reducing 15% of the cost across millions of units is a substantial savings. The iCloud model will be for users who will want to use the iCloud heavily for storage, and keep a lot less on the iPhone itself. This will also help Apple make iCloud a feature by itself and reason to use the entire Apple ecosystem."If you think, this report syncs with other earlier reports which stated that Apple is releasing one low end iPhone and one high end iPhone this September. This iCloud phone may be the low end iPhone. MacRumors has the following take on the iCloud service:
"One potential flaw in the idea that Apple will be introducing a cloud-based iPhone in the near future is related to Apple's implementation of iCloud, which is much more of a syncing service than a streaming service. Apple has presented iCloud as a distributed system in which a master copy of any given file resides in the cloud but is also duplicated on each device and kept in sync with that master copy, which itself can be updated based on changes made on any associated device."But if you again consider the fact that AT&T and Verizon are cutting down the unlimited data plans. How do you figure using an iPhone which is entirely depending on the cloud service without an unlimited data plan, you'll have to pay more for the data usage every month that the phone itself. Or maybe, the carriers have special plans for this as they are working�exclusively�with Apple. Lets wait and watch what happens.
