Recently, Apple frequently listed some overly old iPhones as outdated products. It has included iPhone 6 in it before, but there are two years of delayed . As long as there are related parts, the official will still provide limited after-sales service for iPhone 6 in the next two years, and another product has truly fulfilled its historical mission and will be officially abandoned on November 1.
This product is the iPhone 5c, which many people call the most failed model. The so-called failure here refers to a big gap with the expectations of Apple , but for other manufacturers, the iPhone 5c is a popular model, because so far, the global sales of iPhone 5c have exceeded 30 million units.
Recently, some netizens found in Apple's official memo that starting from November 1, there will be no official after-sales service for the iPhone 5c, which means that it will officially withdraw from the stage of history.
In fact, as early as 2020, the iPhone 5c was listed as an outdated product. In other words, two years ago, Apple had already given up on the iPhone 5c. Now the two-year grace period has arrived. All after-sales repair services for the 5c are about to be terminated. Even if there are still some parts, they are probably going to be destroyed.
To be honest, I personally think that Apple launched the iPhone 5c that year because it was too confident about its own influence. Apple used a low-priced model to attract more users, but the 5c pricing and low price were incompatible. The starting price of 4,488 yuan caught up with the high-end flagship, and the 32G version was as high as 5,288 yuan. In fact, the product was not recognized, but the pricing error occurred. If it was the same as the starting price of 3,288 yuan in the SE series, maybe several more versions of the C series could be launched.
In addition, the plastic body is incompatible with the metal texture of the iPhone, and the color of the body is not pleasing. Of course, these are just secondary. The most important thing is pricing errors. Although the price is lower than the 5s launched at the same time, it also lacks fingerprint recognition function. At that time, many people said they would rather spend a few hundred yuan to buy and experience a better 5s.
In fact, the initial sales of iPhone 5c is indeed not very good. There is a big reason why it can sell more than 30 million units worldwide, that is, some foreign operators have turned into customized machines, with a price of only US$99, which has saved sales.
After giving up 5c after Knife Knife, the SE generation launched in 2016 learned the lessons of 5c. The appearance is very similar to 5s, and it is matched with some 6s functional configurations, which has been much more convergent in pricing, so it has been popular with a large number of users. Even though it has been so many years in the past, the praise rate has not diminished.
In fact, there is an important similarity between the C series and the SE series, that is, it is not in Apple's main product plan. The biggest function is to clean up the inventory of old parts. However, the SE series has been relatively successful because it learned some of the lessons of C's mistakes, but SE3 has returned to the old path of C's pricing errors, so it is naturally not popular with users.
I wonder if you all here will miss the iPhone 5c that is about to leave?
