Will all the rumors and reports doing the rounds, it is becoming very clear that whether Apple is getting ready to release a budget iPhone or not, the rumors are not going to stop. As part of the iPhone rumor circus, one suggestion that keeps coming up is that Apple's budget iPhone is going to feature an all new polycarbonate plastic shell which is not too dissimilar to the old iPhone 3G and 3GS models. Withi this firmly in mind, one Apple rumor website has gone as far as to release images of what this budget iPhone model could look like.
These images show 10 different colors and whether or not you are a fan of the idea or not will depend on your aesthetic preferences. The concepts that are shown on this website remind us of the old bubble iMacs thanks to the colours used. Still, we are not convinced that such a release is on the cards at all, let alone one that would see Apple release overly colorful iPhone bodies.
Apple has been known for releasing colorful products and the current iPod models are available in a variety fo colors but the iPad and iPhone ship in just blank or white. Offering a cheaper, less well equipped iPhone in multiple colors may appeal to some, but Apple may be wary of diluting its own market. People might actually prefer to buy the colorful models and this would slow down sales of the higher end metal products.
At this point all we can really say is that the rumor surrounding a budget iPhone are not going to go away any time soon and we can expect to see a lot more rumors surfacing in the run up to the annual WWDC conference later this year.
