Parents who buy iPhones would almost certainly be willing to pay for a cheap iPhone before they paid for a full featured one. For example, we bought my niece and nephew iPod Touches last Christmas for about $229 (I think?). I would have rather got them one of these phones for $300.
It's interesting too, I think, that the lowest end iPod Touch keeps the Facetime HD camera at the expense of the rear facing camera - I'm not suggesting a low-cost iPhone wouldn't have a rear facing camera (because the hue and cry in 2013 over a phone lacking a camera would be a PR disaster), but that they've shown already which camera they value more highly.
