Another Apple phone has become the tears of the times! The iPhone 5c, which was launched at the same time as the iPhone 5s in 2013, is rumored to be marked by Apple as an “obsolete product” in November, and the original factory will terminate all repairs and services for this model. In addition, the third-generation iPad mini will also be marked as “obsolete” in November. The iPhone 5c used an A6 chip and a 4-inch LCD screen at the time. The most special feature of the iPhone 5c was that the back cover of the phone was made of plastic and provided five bright colors of green, blue, yellow, red and white. Today, it is reported that it will be listed as outdated. As soon as the news of the product came to light, many fruit fans actually disagreed, “It’s not in my memory at all.”
According to a memo obtained by “MacRumors” on the 8th, Apple marked the iPhone 5c as a vintage product as early as October 2020, which means: “The company and its service providers can only provide certain repairs for this product, subject to It depends on the availability of parts.” However, on the 8th, Apple announced that it would mark the iPhone 5c as obsolete on 11/1, ending all its repairs and services, as well as the iPad released in October 2014. mini3.
In fact, the iPhone 5c was Apple’s first mobile phone with a variety of bright and bright colors, and it was the first official affordable mobile phone. At that time, the 16GB model was priced at $99 (regarding 3,140 Taiwan dollars). However, despite this, the iPhone 5c was widely discussed following it was published, but it did not reflect the actual sales. It was so appalling that Apple chose to discontinue its production as early as 2015, and was even ridiculed by the outside world: “The c of the iPhone 5c means “cheap”. “Many domestic fans don’t have a very good impression of the iPhone 5c. “I don’t even remember the 5c, I’m dying of laughter”, “It’s time to give it up, the times are moving forward.”
columnist calusWhen the iPhone 14 was first launched, he wrote an article discussing “Why do people prefer to buy the i13 pro instead of the i14?” Among them, he talked regarding one point: “The i14 repeats the mistakes of the iPhone 5c.” Why do you say that? Callos pointed out that the iPhone 5c was 20% lower than the iPhone 5s at the time, using the previous generation processor chip, the previous generation camera CMOS, the previous generation security design and the plastic body that was weaker than metal. The failure, of course, was caused by Apple’s serious positioning mistakes. If the price of the iPhone 5c can be further lowered, the result can be completely different.” Calus cited the iPhone SE as an example, “When the iPhone SE 2 and 3 were launched, the The ultra-low price, even following inflation, is still lower than when the iPhone 5c was first launched, and half the price of the flagship product of the same generation.”
More importantly, the iPhone SE used the top processor at that time, and successfully seized the users who required the phone to be “supported by software updates for many years, the processor is strong, and the body design is not required.” It is because of this that the iPhone 5c disappeared from the public memory so quickly.
