In the technology world there will never be a shortage of rumors, even when one is debunked more start to surface. This may be wishful thinking or just someone’s opinion based on a photoshoped photo that is stated as a fact. Whatever the case the iPhone Nano rumors are back.

According to a Chinese version o the Economic Daily News a chip manufacturing company is about to receive microchip orders from Apple in March slotting the release soon after. If Apple were to release a lower cost iPhone Nano wouldn’t that take the integrity of the iPhone line down a notch? After all Apple does not release a product that has taken a step backwards. Every release is a step in a forward direction with better, more powerful products.

Coming from a Chinese source we all know that chances are this is a bunch of hogwash. The Chinese punch out cheap iPhone rip offs like there is no tomorrow and we suspect that many of them will cash in on this idea fairly quickly. Maybe the source mistook Apple for some other company.
