iPhone 5C set to cost $400 – 500 off contract

August 19, 2013 By Daniel Giordano Leave a Comment

The iPhone 5C is set to take over the role as the low-cost alternative to the new iPhone 5S. Instead of Apple offering the two predecessors to the iPhone, KGI analyst Mingchi Kuo has forecast the iPhone 5 being taken off the market and the iPhone 4S sticking around for a few months.

Since the iPhone 5C is targeted at markets where subsidised contracts are not a thing, the price of the phone has to be reasonable. The Nexus 4 off contract was $399 and it seems the plastic iPhone 5C is set to come at the same price point, around $399 – 499 off contract.

iPhone 5C will actually take over the iPhone 5 and Apple will immediately drop the latest iPhone from the branch. This move will stop buyers from picking up the iPhone 5 instead of the iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C.

This is a crafty business move by Apple, to make sure users have deceive choice, either the high-quality flagship or the low-cost smartphone with the same OS. There is no middle ground choice with the iPhone 5 to change the users mind, as the iPhone 5 is way more like the iPhone 5S.

Apple is likely to launch the iPhone 5S at their event on September 10, with the iPhone 5C being revealed a short time later. Tim Cook has made deals with the China Mobile carrier, making sure the two new iPhones will be available unsubsidised in China.

The iPhone 5S will come with 16, 32, 64 and 128GB storage options, each tallying up an extra $100. The iPhone 5S with 16GB is likely to start at $549 – 599, with the 128GB version hitting $899. The iPhone 5C may come with 8, 16 and 32GB of internal storage, with the 8GB version starting at $399.

Like the Moto X announcement, readers will naturally be shocked that something underpowered and low-cost would come at such a mid-range price point. The problem is Apple does not seem to want to compete against Android, not on price or power. The iPad Mini was proof Apple is out to play its own game in the field and the Mini did remarkably well in that respect.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C leaked with September 10 release date

August 12, 2013 By Nicholas Anderton Leave a Comment

iPhone 5C Apple will reveal two new iPhones at a press event on September 10, according to AllThingsD who have citied reliable sources. These new iPhones will be the new flagship iPhone 5S and the low-end iPhone 5C.

Both have had extensive leaks and images on the web, showing them in their full form. The iPhone 5S looks almost identical to the iPhone 5, as we expected from the S model. The iPhone 5C looks like the iPhone 3GS without the curved back, with a polycarbonate and fibre-glass design.

iPhone 5S 

The iPhone 5S will come with three colour options, according to a recent leak. The three colours will include black, white and gold. We have heard this rumour when the iPhone 5 was being leaked about, but nothing came of it. The camera on the iPhone 5S will either be 8MP or 13MP with a f/2.0 aperture, allowing more light to be captured.

Inside the iPhone 5S we may see the new A7 chipset and 2GB of RAM for smoother multitasking on iOS7. Apple will not change the display resolution on the iPhone 5S, keeping the retina display. Sadly, in light of the new Android smartphones on the market, the 720p retina display is starting to get redundant compared to the competition.

iPhone 5C 

The iPhone 5C will be coming in multiple colours, we have already seen neon green, mellow yellow, fuchsia, white, black and some other wacky options. Apple is taking most of the colours from the iPod Touch line and adding a few more.

This is where the fun stops for the iPhone 5C, obviously Apple is looking to target developing markets like China with this new smartphone. We do not know the internals, but it is likely to be a mix of iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 technology, with iOS7 slapped on top.

Tim Cook recently met with China Mobile’s President, presumably on the subject of getting the iPhone 5C onto the TD-SCDMA network, which is proprietary technology. This would be the first iPhone to ever run on the network, if Cook’s talks succeeded.

Release Date

According to several sources, Apple will market the iPhone 5S at $199 on contract and the iPhone 5C for free on a two year contract. This means the iPhone 4S will be dropped from the lineup of smartphones, with the iPhone 5 sitting in the middle at $99 on a two year contract.
