iPhone 4S Prices Slashed, iPhone 5 Gets Bumped Off
iPhone 5S and IPhone 5C are all set to launch in India on November 1 and just yesterday we disclosed the prices of both the phones, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
In what will disappoint most buyers, Apple decided to discontinue the current hero, iPhone 5. iPhone 5 is suddenly disappearing off shelves and the phone will soon be history. For the first time in history, Apple decided to completely bump off a product off the list instead of giving it a reasonable price-cut.
So what do I do if I want a previous generation iPhone? Simple. The basic iPhone is now the iPhone 4S. Along with iPhone 5, iPhone 4 too has been handed the pink slip. Apple is clearly pushing their current model of iPhones and is in no mood to bow down to the stronghold iPhone 5 seems to hold.
For those aiming to buy a cheaper variant of the iPhone, you can now buy the iPhone 4S for Rs 7000 cheaper, at Rs 31,500. Currently available at Rs 38,500, iPhone 4S was not exactly a revolutionary device but it did manage to impress users with Siri, Apple’s voice navigation system. Siri, the Apple know-all was one of the major software changes Apple made to the iPhone post the iPhone 4 where we saw a new design.
iPhone 5 did not bring any drastic changes and the Apple Maps debut was a failure. However, Apple improved the hardware with the iPhone 5. But now that the iPhone 5S is here, we wonder why Apple is in no mood to cater to iPhone 5.
Clearly, the reason is the younger, colourful iPhone 5C. Called the “budget” phone, iPhone 5C was launched by Apple clearly as a replacement for iPhone 5 rather than an budget option for buyers. Also, bearing in mind the fact that iPhone 5 and 5C share almost the same specifications, it would really make no sense for Apple to slash rates of the iPhone 5 while selling the iPhone 5C for a pricey figure.
The plasticky, sorry excuse of a budget phone by Apple will now be your only option to the iPhone 5S. The prices of iPhone 5C and 5S were recently announced by Reliance which will be partnering with Apple for the launch. Take a look at the prices below:
- iPhone 5S 16 GB: Rs 53,500
- iPhone 5S 32 GB: Rs 62,500
- iPhone 5S 64 GB: Rs 71,500
- iPhone 5C 16 GB: Rs 41,900
- iPhone 5C 32 GB: Rs 53,500
Disappointed? You still have a fortnight! Go grab that iPhone 5 now. Or you’ll be stuck with a plasticky looking outdated device. Your call!
