Apple prepare iPhone 5 mini to compete against Asian

Apple plans to market a more compact version of the Economic and iPhone 5 by the end of the year, according to the Wall Street Journal.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple prepare an iPhone 5 mini to broaden its range. The hull of this smartphone is made of plastic (polycarbonate) rather than aluminum or tempered glass, and the device is more compact than its latest model equipped with a screen 4 inch.

The idea is to attract users of prepaid cards in emerging markets and packages without commitment in Europe. If it remains the best selling smartphone in the U.S., the iPhone is now outpaced Europe and more in Asia, especially by his great rival Samsung. End of 2012, the Korean has also cleverly suggested a mini version of its Galaxy S3 without 4G. In November 2012, Apple has already declined the tablet into a mini iPad version, smaller and cheaper than the original.
