We all know that iPhone 5C sales have been down and the phone will simply not sell unless Apple drops its pricing strategy for the so-called budget iPhone.
Well, now Apple could just be doing that.
It plans to introduce an 8GB iPhone 5C and the price could be reasonably lower compared to the $549 (around Dh2,199 in the UAE), it is charging now for the 16GB model.
If reports are to be believed Apple has already moved stocks of an all new model into select retail stores.
Pundits are claiming that the launch could be as early as today.
The move comes amidst rising stock of unsold iPhone 5C models.
Retailers in the UAE too have been complaining of unsold stock although iPhone 5S has been doing exceptionally well in terms of sales.
Pricing seem to be the crucial issue as the difference between the two models is just around Dh500.
A 16GB iPhone 5C can be purchased for around Dh2,000 while the iPhone 5S is priced at Dh2,500.
