Apple launched the iPhone 14 series at the autumn press conference held last month, bringing new appearance designs and more dazzling upgrades.
Among them, Lingdong Island's new gameplay of software and hardware integration has also made the iPhone 14 Pro series once become the new hot model this year.
But in fact, not every iPhone can achieve such excellent sales results when it was just released, and the iPhone 5c is the best example.
iPhone 5c was launched in 2013 and adopts a plastic shell design, with more color matching and brighter overall tone.
Do you still remember the packaging box of iPhone 5c that looks like a lunch box?
Due to various reasons, this colorful iPhone that Apple tried for the first time ended in failure and the sales were very bleak.
and so to this day, the product model "c" has never appeared again.
. According to the latest news, the iPhone 5c will soon be completely abandoned by Apple.
According to foreign media Macrumors, Apple will add iPhone 5c and iPad mini 3 to the list of outdated products in early November this year.
According to the definition of Apple's official website, outdated products refer to products that have been discontinued for more than 7 years.
Apple will stop providing any hardware services for outdated products, and authorized service providers will no longer be able to order parts of outdated products.
iPhone 5c obviously conforms to Apple's definition of outdated products, and this phone will no longer receive any hardware support.
At the same time, this also indicates that the life cycle of iPhone 5c has completely ended.
Speaking of which, there are many reasons for the failure of iPhone 5c.
Although the colorful color scheme pioneered by iPhone 5c was very eye-catching in the era of "black or white" in the iPhone.
But its plastic material design always brings users a sense of cheapness.
Secondly, iPhone 5c uses the same A6 chip as the previous generation iPhone 5.
At the same time, Apple also launched the iPhone 5s, equipped with the updated A7 chip, and the Home button with fingerprint unlocking function.
Plus iPhone 5s brings users a more advanced "rich gold" color scheme, the iPhone 5c is somewhat pale in comparison in all aspects.
In comparison, the starting price difference between iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s is only 800 yuan.
Can only say that Apple’s experienced cutting-edge skills in pricing have been shown back then.
Interestingly, the same script is still being staged to this day.
Two standard versions of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus launched this year are equipped with the same A15 chip as last year.
At the same time, the standard version of the iPhone 14 has not been significantly upgraded in terms of appearance design and image performance.
Compared with the popular sales of the iPhone 14 Pro series models, the attention of the iPhone 14 standard version is bleak, and it broke the issue price on the day of its first release.
Although Apple deliberately created differentiation for Pro models and standard versions this year, from the results, it greatly promoted the sales of the iPhone 14 Pro series.
But for the standard version of iPhone 14, at present, the sales volume achieved by this iPhone is obviously very failed.
As time goes by, the price of new iPhones will gradually decline on third-party platforms.
As for whether this change will help the sales of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, it will take time to observe.
No matter what, with the iPhone 5c completely entering history, this controversial product is finally going to say goodbye to us.
Friends who bought iPhone 5c back then are welcome to leave a message in the comment area to share your experience.
