In a previous post we saw the prices and availability for the new iPhone 5 S presented yesterday in California. However iPhone 5C is another story totally different, users expected from this device 'a' cheap 'iPhone and judging by the final price of the same it is not so much.
If we take into account the specifications of this new iPhone 5C, we will see how it has a quite 'compelling' reason for not being the low-cost iPhone that we all expected and that is we are really talking about an iPhone 5 inside a polycarbonate shell so it will not be sold very cheaply.
In short, the price difference between a 5 GB iPhone 16C with an iPhone 5S of the same capacity it is only 100 euros. Taking into account this important data such as the price when we have to buy a device and seeing the internal hardware of the 5C that is the same as that of the current iPhone 5, it is possible that we no longer see the price so exorbitant. That many of us expected otherwise? We can agree, but the 5C is a high-end terminal with a price that is certainly in line with the interior more than the exterior.
The prices are:
- $ 549 for the 16GB
- $ 649 for the 32GB
64GB capacity will not be available in this version and prices with contract in the United States they range from $ 99 to $ 199 depending on capacity. This iPhone will be available for reservation from next September 13 And it will go on sale on the 20th of this month, like its older brother, it is expected to be a success thanks to the range of 5 colors that can be chosen.
In Spain we will have to wait for the second 'batch' to get one of them.

Well, it really seems to me a sovereign outrage what they have done with prices. It turns out that they dull an iPhone 5 in a plastic case and the price with the previous model (iPhone 5) is reduced by € 69. Until now they put the previous model, I think I remember almost € 150 cheaper when a new generation of iPhone came out respecting the same standards and materials and yet you are still satisfied justifying an absurd and misleading price drop. In addition, the 5S has increased its value. Quite smart are these from Cupertino.
I find it an insult to your customers ... how can they put a plastic iPhone with components from last year at a price of gold? What a tremendous disappointment Apple
