Many people were disappointed when Apple announced the iPhone price 5C last September . Mistaken for the cheaper version of Apple iPhone , iPhone 5C tag was still relatively high .
Problem is , Apple CEO Tim Cook recently confirmed . According to him , since the beginning of the iPhone 5C is not intended as a model budget or cheap products . For that segment , it provides another option .
" To offer an entry-level , we have the iPhone 4S , " Cook said while speaking at the conference its fourth quarter financial report , as quoted by AllThingsD .
Cook went on iPhone 5C actually intended as a model of middle-class , under the iPhone 5S . " Our goal is not only to raise growth ( product line ) iPhone overall, but also for the growth of each of these categories . "
In other words , Apple is in this position the old product ( iPhone 4S ) as an economical offer , as he did with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS . Both smartphones are indeed retained in the lineup when the top of the hierarchy is occupied by the more advanced two generations .
The difference, iPhone 5C replace the discontinued sales of the iPhone 5 by Apple . Prior to this , Apple's typically lower price position last year after the iPhone model is shifted by the latest iPhone model .
iPhone 5C himself had predicted as the iPhone version of the " cheap " , but the price of 549 U.S. dollars without a contract diminish the hope Apple would be more competitive in the markets of developing countries .
Phone wrapped in colorful plastic shells reportedly sold less than his brother , the iPhone 5S , but the large proportion of the ratio of sales of the two devices is not known exactly because it is not specified by Apple in its financial statements . The company reported only managed to sell 33.8 million iPhones in the quarter ended in September .
