Currently, in the mobile phone circle, I say that Apple is the most controversial mobile phone manufacturer, and I don’t think there will be too many people oppose it. People who like it think it has a good and smooth experience, but those who don’t like it think the system is closed. As for multi-function NFC, split screen, call recording, harassment and interception, etc., which are convenient for users, they have not yet.
, we have to look at it. Everyone has their own preferences. As for whether the iPhone is easy to use, it has become a problem in the digital circle. But I said that the iPhone was once called electronic waste, do you believe it?
I don’t sell tubes here. This iPhone is iPhone 5c. If it is a user of iPhone in recent years, I guess many people are not sure that there are still those with C in the iPhone digital series? That's right! The iPhone 5c was released on September 11, 2013, and has a history of 9 years.
iPhone 5c is released simultaneously with the household iPhone 5s. Compared with the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c has also created many Apple firsts.
First of all, it is the first iPhone made of plastic on Apple's product line, and it is also the first cheap iPhone launched by Apple's . Finally, it is the mobile phone product with the richest color matching under Apple.
It is worth noting that the letter C in iPhone 5c represents colourful, which means color, which is also a big reason for its rich color matching.
may be because Apple thought that this "fancy" design could adapt to the trend of the times, but unexpectedly, this phone became the least market-recognized model among Apple phones. Many people even said that the iPhone 5c is the biggest failure of Cook .
The reason is very simple. Comparing the iPhone 5c with the iPhone 5s flagship phone that was launched at the same time, it looks ugly. Although it is claimed to be a cheap iPhone and it is natural to have a shrinking configuration, it is not cheap. At that time, the iPhone 5c started at 4,488 yuan when it was released, but the price of the iPhone 5s was only 800 yuan higher than the iPhone 5c.
For only 800 yuan, the iPhone 5c uses the A6 processor of the previous generation iPhone 5, while the 5s uses the new generation A7 processor, and the performance difference is still very large. Secondly, the iPhone 5s also added Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) for the first time, which is enough to beat the iPhone 5c. Finally, the iPhone 5c uses a plastic shell material. Although the color scheme is rich, compared with the metal iPhone 5s, the texture is a bit insufficient (the feel is good).
To sum up, consumers are not interested in the iPhone 5c and are not recognized by consumers. Just two months after its launch, the iPhone 5c saw a decrease in orders and a rapid decline in price, becoming the fastest price reduction product among Apple's mobile phone products.
What is it for? That's because, according to the official memo, Apple plans to list the iPhone 5c and iPad mini 3 as phased-out products starting next month (November 1), that is, to stop all repairs and services.
In fact, as early as October 2020, the iPhone 5c was marked as an outdated product by Apple, and has only provided some limited repair services since then. Now, two years have passed, the iPhone 5c has officially ushered in its retirement moment.
Seeing the ending of this iPhone 5c, friends may think of the sales of iPhone 14 this year. After all, the current market has already broken the issue price, but in my opinion, it is difficult for Apple to see this situation again, after all, it only needs to reduce by 1,000 yuan on Double Eleven, and it can sell it instantly. Are you right?
