The American company Apple does not seem to be satisfied with the reception of the iPhone 5C in the market. According to sources from the Asian newspaper Industrial and Commercial Times , Apple is considering ending production of the iPhone 5C along with that of the iPhone 4S in 2015. The iPhone 4S hit stores at the end of 2011 and therefore it is not surprising that those in Cupertino decided to withdraw it from the market; but the case of the iPhone 5C is striking, since we are talking about a smartphone presented next to the iPhone 5Sat the end of last year 2013.
Assuming this information to be true, the easiest thing to do is speculate that the iPhone 5C sales have been a failure. But the data does not show the same: according to Forbes magazine published in the middle of this year, the iPhone 5C has sold approximately 24 million units worldwide, a figure that is far from what could be considered a commercial failure especially taking into account the short life span and the significant self-competition of the iPhone 5S that this smartphone has had.
So what was the problem with the iPhone 5C ? As many analysts agree, the problem with the iPhone 5C was probably the lack of communication on the part of Apple regarding the true meaning of this mobile in the market. From the first moment in which rumors appeared in relation to the iPhone 5C, the first thing that was commented in the media is that we were facing the cheap version of the iPhone (the letter " C " was interpreted as the word " Cheap ", that is, " Cheap " translated from English). But.. is it logical to talk about a cheap mobile referring to a terminal that costs 400 eurosAnd that, in addition, it incorporates an internal storage of only 8 GigaBytes ?
Be that as it may, everything indicates that the story of the iPhone 5C is close to coming to an end. After him come - and will come - great launches, since in addition to the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus it is also expected that Apple will begin to distribute its new Apple Watch smartwatch from next year. In addition, holders of a terminal from the iPhone, iPad or iPod range updated to iOS 8 (or higher) can also expect interesting news for next year, since Apple is expected to launch in the next few months nothing less thantwo new updates to the iOS operating system (first iOS 8.2 and, a few months later, iOS 8.3). In fact, developers have already begun receiving the first test versions of iOS 8.2, so it is only a matter of time before users begin to officially receive this same update.
