Possible a rumour but there is more evidence of
falling demand for iPhone.
Japan Display, who make the screens, nearly went bust because a 'major client' cut it's order drastically.

In fact. I have seen this demand going down and more Android devices taking the demand. Even, the guys I follow on Twitter, are using more Android apps to tweet than iOS's.

With demand allegedly going down for the iPhone, that budget iPhone couldn't come soon enough for Apple!
Seems to me Apple's incredibly high margins and avg. selling price are under threat with iPad Mini taking up a large chunk of what was the big iPad's share, I'm sure the same will happen with the budget iPhone and normal iPhone.
Apple are in need of a whole new iPhone e.g. an iPhone HD with a 4.5-5inch high PPI display, 13MP Camera and some killer feature on top of iOS7, they need to revive the excitement around the iPhone.

Yep. And a cheaper iphone perhaps for the masses would do well. But yeah the iOS UI needs a refresh it looks tired and dated now. Next iphone Apple shall claim to have invented NFC

oh my word, I hope not, but you know what the sad truth is? NFC tech needs Apple so as to get widespread adoption, and Apple being Apple, they will probably go for a NFC standard that is not supported by others and use that to stand out.

Exactly! Which is not good news for the industry in general.
What I don't get is, Apple are sitting on this huuuuge pile of cash with which they can make practically anything they put their minds to. So why aren't they? The Apple Watch is all they can really come up with?

That's exactly what many other industry watchers, and even some Apple shareholders are asking, why don't Apple pump some of that cash into some good ol' R&D??? They could even buy a whole lot of start ups and pump some cash into their development so Apple themselves don't have to start from scratch.

Yep, they must expand the iPhone portfolio, make a proper top end, a mid end and low end iPhone e.g.
Top end: iPhone HD with a 4.5-5inch huge display, 13mp camera, 2GB RAM and memory variants would be 32GB, 64GB and 128GB, Metal and glass build
Mid end: iPhone (just iPhone) with 4-4.3inch display, 8MP Camera, 1GB RAM, mem variants 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, Metal and glass build
Low end: iPhone Nano with 3.5inch-3.8inch display, 5
MP camera, 512mb RAM, mem variants 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, Polycarbonate build.
