Analysts are saying that a - wait for it - $99 iPhone would crush the competition and solidify Apple’s place as a major mobile phone manufacturer. Duh. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Analysts further predict that if implemented, the move could double or even triple sales of iPhone and march ahead of rivals in the smartphone segment and leave only niche competitors like BlackBerrry in the fray.
