It has been rumored lots of times that Apple is planning to launch a smaller iPhone with less features, called "iPhone Nano" by most sites, following the manufacturer's media players. According to Chinese Economic Daily News TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) and UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation) will be the two suppliers, but the final decision is expected only by March, which still gives enough time before a premier in June. According to Craig Berger, analyst at FBR Capital Markets, the new handsets will be based on Qualcomm solutions instead of Infineon. The model, planned to have a price of 99 dollars, will never be available in the United States, according to Brian Marshal, analyst at American Technology Research. The reason is that Apple designs the new device exclusively for Far-Eastern markets. The reason for this assumption is that no new Apple handsets have been in AT&T's test labs, although network operators are checking new mobile for months before launch. The listing of contractors forecasts the existence of the new handset, and another small proof is that accessory manufacturers have early case-plans. iPhone Nano is almost sure to come, even if not under this name, but it's not sure where it will be available.
