Asian suppliers to Apple have begun manufacturing a lower-priced version of its iPhone 4 with a smaller 8GB flash drive, reports Reuters. The flash drive for the 8GB iPhone 4 is being manufactured by a Korean company, one of the people said, declining to name the company. Apple, which demands secrecy and security from suppliers and employees, declined to comment. The 8GB version is expected to launch within weeks, the sources said. Some analysts said the cheaper 8GB iPhone 4 could enable Apple to enhance sales in emerging markets.
