After so many rumours that we were listening from different sources, Apple have announced the launch of two different versions of iPhones – 5s & 5c.
According to the sources iPhone 5c is a strategic move by Apple to compete with its rivals but most of the users are disappointed with the offering mainly due to the price of the product; it costs $549 for 16 GB variant.
iPhone 5c is not a replacement of the iPhone 4S, which will still remain in service. No, it replaces the iPhone 5 while changing the phone’s target group altogether thus leaving upgraders from the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S with no choice but going for the more expensive iPhone 5s.
The iPhone 5c takes the place that was supposed to be taken by the iPhone 5 – a cheaper, last year’s model that now should have provided more bang for buck than is usual for Apple’s products. So instead of getting the option to buy an iPhone 5, upgraders looking a cheaper new iPhone are instead faced by a product that’s too thick, too plastic, and too toy-looking to be worth the upgrade. On top of that, Apple’s asking price for the 5c is the same as the iPhone 5 would have had, had it not been discontinued.
The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c might be the “most forward thinking” offerings out there according to Apple, but it seems not everyone is so excited about them.
The latest flagship model of Apple is iPhone 5s, like every time the “s” is just a slight upgrade to the last year’s flagship model with latest iOS 7 and few upgrades in hardware like A7 chipset ( 64 – Bit/ 2X CPU/ 2X GPU), Camera, Touch ID, Face Time HD, Ultrafast LTE wireless. iPhone 5s starts at 649$ for 16 GB model.
iphone 5c will be available for pre-order from 13 September online & iPhone 5s will be available from 20 September for online & offline sales in US.
