Apple iPhone 5C
With the news that Apple is cutting back on iPhone 5c manufacturing and ramping up the iPhone 5s, due to iPhone 5c sales being far below expectations, the question remains: Why? Let's take a look at some of Apple's historic flops for clues.
When the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s hit retailers, Walmart already had one of the better deals around. You could get the iPhone 5c for $79 on its release date. The price is normally $99 with a two-year contract.
This week - like all weeks after a new product launch, no matter how "perfectly" designed - Apple has been beset by hackers proving their mettle by bypassing security features and ordinary customers unhappy with certain features of Apple's new mobile operating system, iOS 7.
The Apple iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s launched on Friday, September 20, and across the country avid Apple fans were lining up to get their hands on the hot new devices first.
You can potentially get the iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c for free with a trade-in, as Wal-Mart is beginning its smartphone trade-in program on Saturday Sept. 21, one day after the two hot Apple smartphones hit the shelves.
The much-anticipated iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will be launching in stores and online on Friday September 20, but you might have an easier time getting your hands on the iPhone 5c.
Apple just recently announced the new lineup of iPhones, which now includes the lower-cost entry-level iPhone 5c. As far as mid-tier smartphones, one of the top offerings by competitors is the HTC One mini, the smaller, lower-cost version of the critically acclaimed HTC One. Lets see how the iPhone 5c stacks up.
The Apple iPhone 5c is the first low-cost smartphone from the Cupertino giant (some are saying the "c" is for cheap). Because of the lower price, the iPhone 5c has much of the same hardware as last year's iPhone 5. However, there are a few new features that might put it in the running with some of the new smartphones coming to market right now, like the LG G2.
One of Apple's newest iPhones, the iPhone 5c, is basically a low-cost, revamped version of its iPhone 5. But there are a few big differences between the models - differences that may put the one-year-old hardware of the iPhone 5c in the running against other new handsets, like the Xperia Z1 and its rumored "mini" version.
Your new, colorful (and cheaper) iPhone 5C awaits, if you are interested in pre-ordering the new Apple smartphone. Beginning at 12:01 a.m. PT, Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5C on its website, but you can also go out to Best Buy or Walmart to secure your new candy-colored iPhone today.
Apple just unveiled its new iPhone(s), making the iPhone into a range of phone - albeit more limited than Samsung's "Galaxy" of devices. Samsung is probably the best competitor to Apple, and has a pretty new Galaxy S4 smartphone and a brand new Galaxy Note 3 coming to stores soon.
Apple decided not to live stream its unveiling of the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on Tuesday, leaving only live blogs for technophiles to follow. However, soon after the event was over and Apple updated its Apple Store page to show off the technical specifications of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, the Cupertino giant posted its video of the event. See below for a link.
