Apple Releases A Cheaper Iphone 5c 8gb

Apple has reportedly launched a cheaper 8GB variant of the colourful iPhone 5c as th fight for Prominence in the ICT Industry deepens. According to Apple, will attract more users in the entry level of the market and hopefully get users of older iPhone 4 and 4s models a chance to run on a larger display and more updated hardware and features.

The iPhone 5c originally launched with a choice of 16GB and 32GB options priced at £469 and £549 for the handset only. The new 8GB model costs £429 directly from Apple or £28 a month for a 24 month contract from O2 with a £49.99 upfront price.

O2 is currently the only carrier to have revealed prices for the new model, though other operators will undoubtedly follow suit. Apple’s only official response so far is to say “The 8GB iPhone 5c model will be available in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia and China on March 18.”

In all other respect the iPhone 5c will be identical to the launch model, featuring the latest version of Apple’s iOS software, version 7.0, a 4-inch Retina display, an 8-megapixel camera and Apple’s A6 processor. This gives it nearly identical specs to the iPhone 5, with only the colourful polycarbonate plastic shell really setting it apart.

When the iPhone 5c launched alongside the high-end 5S last year it seemed that Apple likely that Apple would try to capture more of the low-end smartphone market with a cheaper device, especially in markets where 4G functionality (a feature missing from the 5C) has yet to make any headway.

However, it seems that Apple set the price too high, and although exact sales figures of the 5C are uncertain (Apple bundles together sales for the two latest iPhones) CEO Tim Cook has said that “the mix was stronger to the 5S”.

Apple iPhone 5c is a more powerful phone phone than last year’s iPhone 5, with a longer-lasting battery and improved front-facing camera” it was the iPhone 5s that was “the main event”.

This doesn’t mean the 5C is doing terribly – it’s thought to have sold better occupying the middle spot in Apple’s portfolio than the 4S, the handset that became second tier when the iPhone 5 came out – but this new memory option suggests Apple still wants more from its plastic fantastic device.
