Yep, Apple is slowly filling in price points below the top end. They will not ever be budget, but they have iPhones starting at $349.
I'm confused about all the hubbub around the 1k price tag. Top end phones with the next storage option were already ~1k. Additionally, most people buy their phone using the free loan from the carrier so the price goes from ~$40/month to ~$50/month if they wanted the X.
I think Apple beats earnings and successfully raises the ASP across the iPhone line using the X.
