The
iPhone 4S has currently sold more than the
iPhone 4 by a fraction, but is only half way towards beating the cumulative total sales of its four predecessors.
For
iPhone 4 users, this time 4Videosoft has updated many
iPhone 4 software products, such as *iPhone 4 Manager for ePub*,
iPhone 4 Video Converter, DVD to
iPhone 4 Converter, *Blu-ray to
iPhone 4 Converter*,
iPhone 4 Transfer, etc.
Apple introduced the (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2011/10/04Apple-Launches-iPhone-4S-iOS-5-iCloud/)
iPhone 4S , which looked similar to the
iPhone 4, in 2011 along with iCloud.
In Oct 2011, Apple released the
iPhone 4S, a successor to its
iPhone 4 that ushered in the iOS 5 in addition to Apple's virtual assistant which remains prevalent on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touches, Siri.
Meanwhile, Apple tends to stick to the design for two years like it did with the iPhone 3GS to
iPhone 4 and the
iPhone 4S to iPhone 5.
This is reportedly the reason why several iPhone generations from the iPhone to
iPhone 4 had similar performance stats, as depicted in the graphic charts (see below) which were revealed by Apple during the iPhone 5s launch keynote presentation.
However when you consider it already has the
iPhone 4 on sale for [pounds sterling]319 in the UK, the 'budget' iPhone 5C would have to cost [pounds sterling]250 or below to make an impact.
"One of our sources claims that Apple's iPhone prices remain too high for most mainland Chinese customers -- the iPhone 5 hardware alone starts at $849 there, versus the
iPhone 4 at $500, in a country where the average annual salary is around $3,000 per person," Horwitz said.
Apple typically chooses to release a new iPhone model every 11 months (besides the 15-month wait between the
iPhone 4 and
iPhone 4S), and it looks like Apple will again follow a similar pattern in 2013, even though the company reportedly has two new iPhone models it wants to release, including the (http://www.ibtimes.com/apple-iphone-5s-rumors-nfc-features-likely-more-iwallet-patents-release-public-1177801) security-heavy iPhone 5S and the (http://www.ibtimes.com/apple-iphone-6-rumors-leaked-photo-showcases-plastic-exterior-redesigned-specs-cheap-iphone-5) cheaper-built iPhone 6 .

The original iPhone, the iPhone 3G, the iPhone 3GS and the
iPhone 4 were all launched in a June/ July time frame.
In all likelihood, Apple would use some of its older (but still functional chipsets) in the cheap iPhone 6 -- maybe the dual-core A4 chip released in the
iPhone 4, or even the dual-core A5 chip from the
iPhone 4S.
