<\/a><\/center>Apple hasn’t announced any new smartphones yet this year, but the company’s plans seem like a matter of public record at this point. The “iPhone 5S<\/a>” will reportedly be an incremental update that replaces Apple’s<\/a> current flagship model in the late summer or early fall<\/a>, and half a dozen solid reports suggest a new low-cost iPhone will debut in 2013 as well<\/a>. Growth continues to slow at the high end of the smartphone market and a new opportunity is emerging at the bottom as feature phones become a thing of the past. It remains to be seen if Apple can build a phone that is affordable enough to compete in emerging markets, but market research firm ABI Research’s recent report might provide some incentive: Shipments of low-cost smartphones are expected to explode in the coming years.<\/p>\n
