Lessons Learned from the iPhone 5c Failure, 9 Years Later Review
The iPhone 5c was released in 2013 and was essentially a repackaged iPhone 5… However this wasn’t a good thing as it was released alongside the iPhone 5s, essentially meaning it was a year behind on release. The iPhone 5c was positioned as a budget orientated iPhone, however quickly became labelled as the "iPhone 5 Cheap" and didn't end up offering great value. As the iPhone was sold with an outdated processor, it received 2 years less software support than the iPhone 5s. Retailing at £550, this phone didnt get the price tag to match the budget focus of the phone. Although the iPhone 5c is a bad example of a budget iPhone, it was clear that Apple learned a lot from the mistakes made. For example, the successor to the iPhone 5c (the iPhone SE) was sold with the latest processor that Apple offered, premium build quality and retailed at £400. How does the iPhone 5c hold up in 2022? well... Badly lol.
