Seems that Apple is not in a mood to rest anymore. The recent report or maybe a rumor says that Apple is planning to launch different variants of iPhone to counter growing competition from cheap cellphones makers like Samsung especially in the growing markets of India and China. iPhone variants being most talked here is the mini version of iPhone which people are naming as "iPhone mini".

As the name suggest, iPhone mini is likely to be the smaller than the original sized iPhone. Also, its pricing will be far lesser than the original iPhone. With iPhone mini, Apple is looking to grab market share by targeting demand from users of lower-end smartphones especially in India and China.

As per Brian J White, a researcher at Topeka Capital Markets...Apple's next iPhone being said as iPhone 5S will be launched in in May or June, 2013. This modified version will offer more options in screen sizes which in turn would pave the way for iPad mini. 

Some people are also saying that iPhone mini will not launch before 2014. Reason as stated is the growing number of mobile prepaid users who cannot afford Apple iPhone in the coming three years. 

Well, 2014 looks to be a long time. But hopefully....we will see it from Apple..!
