Every year a new iPhone comes out since 2007 and the whole technology
world goes crazy. It’s not a bad thing though, everyone wants to keep up with
the latest technology, and the smartphone companies are actually making a
competition out of it. Regardless of which brand it is, every giant
manufacturer would now go crazy to release a new phone on summer to catch up
with the competition. Apple iPhones are always pretty impressive and comes up
with impressive new features, but could they keep up with their innovativeness
since Steve Jobs passed away? There are a lot of debates about it. Some would
say that Apple still has its edge, still razor sharp; and the rest of the crowd
totally disagrees to the fact. Why is that? Because since iPhone 4S, the world
really hasn’t seen anything jaw dropping, not really. iPhone 4S is the last
iPhone that was released via Steve Jobs’ own hand. Siri was the last jaw
dropping thing that was invented by Apple, and then the market share and
innovativeness were captured mostly by the Android smartphones. Google, Android
Jelly Bean and etc. the rest is history.
Time passed and the latest iPhones out there are now iPhone 5S and the
iPhone 5C. Apple announced that the iPhone 5S would be the costly version while
the iPhone 5C is targeted mostly towards the crowd looking for a cheap iPhone.
Could iPhone 5C really impress its target audience? Most likely, it couldn’t.
The ‘cheap’ iPhone itself, and the iPhone
mobile offers, probably neither of them were impressive enough. We are
going to try to find out the reasons.
Price: Too High for a Cheap Phone?
That’s the very first reason someone would back off even if they had a
long plan for getting an iPhone 5C. If you are willing to get it under contract
then fine, you can make your way to the 16GB version for only 99$, and the 32
gig version for only $199. But if you don’t want to stick to any of the
official carriers and want to roam freely around the world, then you have to
spend $549 for the 16 gig and $649 for 32 gig. Now like, seriously, how in this
world is that cheap? Not everyone wishes to be under carrier restrictions and
also, someone from outside the US might be interested in buying an iPhone 5C.
Especially the teens from rest of the world, who are the potential consumers of
iPhones wouldn’t be able to afford it. And hence, Apple share goes down just
after launching the iPhone 5C.
Plastic Case :-
While Apple claims them to be cute and backed up by a sturdier chassis
inside, not everyone is so sure about that. People who are used to using
iPhones with aluminum and glass bodies might find it fragile to use. And the
colors are suitable for the youths, not that much for the executives. And how
could the young generation actually buy a phone paying this high? The lack of better
iPhone mobile offers are the reason why its popularity isn’t much as expected.
Where’s the iPhone 5?
After the launching event, Apple removed their iPhone 5 from the official
website while the 4S is still there. The iPhone 5 is still available for buying
on Apple stores, resellers, or at your carriers stores but you can’t anymore
buy it from the Apple website. So, the aluminum bodied iPhone 5 is replaced
with pretty much same configuration iPhone 5C, even downgraded with a plastic
case. Expectation doesn’t match reality again.
iPhone Mobile Offers
What are the iPhone mobile offers
currently going on through the internet? Well if you look for it, you will find
plenty. Depending on where you live, the charges might vary. The most cost
effective solutions are available at USA, but you can find them at your native
country as well. The iPhone 5C, however, hasn’t yet been released in India but
the sources say, the iPhone mobile offers
India would start from Rs. 40000. You should be looking forward to it, and
start saving money!
