Apple won't build a cheap iPhone, because they don't need to. Their many markets are the west european countries and America, obviously. In countries like the this you get to see everyone having an iPhone and why is that? Because they can afford to buy an iPhone. In my country for example which is an east european one, the iPhones are even more expensive than the ones in America, UK or France(and in general all the other UE countries), besides here the economy isn't so great so a lot of people tend to buy cheaper android phones. My point is that it wouldn't be profitable for Apple to make a cheap iPhone because they would compete for markets where android and other platforms are very popular, selling extremely cheap products so they know that their chances are very low to make a great profit from there. Let's take for example India or China. In India Google has already started the Android One project which will offer better phones supported by Google for even a lower price. In China the best selling company is Xiaomi. They offer so called quality and products VERY similar in terms of design to iPhones and iPads for half the price, so, yeah the average consumer in these countries will go for one of these devices as they don't realise the real differences between the phones, they can use an iPhone for the same things so why should they pay more?? So, Apple aims for the countries and the markets where they know that their products are 'appreciated' and where the people can buy them without having to starve for two month, in general the countries with a stable economy.
