Apple has tried to create a new segment of iPhone by producing iPhone 5c together with iPhone 5s. Apple didn’t mean to make a cheap iPhone segment but they want to create colorful iPhone and the price is still in range of $500 above. Last year, when iPhone 6 and 6 plus was launched, Apple didn’t continue to produce the new generation of iPhone 5c. Indeed, the iPhone 5c sales was not very encouraging, it’s because the wrong market expectation about iPhone 5c wherein at that time iPhone 5c was expected has a price in range of $400.
The question that might appears is: “Does Apple really disappointed with their iPhone 5c? Or they actually does not realize that market was expecting a cheaper price from iPhone 5c which is not made from aluminum? Even though it’s not made of aluminum but it doesn’t give a cheap impression and we knew that Apple will never make a cheap iPhone with bad technology, that’s not good for iOS development which needs a good hardware resource. Today has circulated an iPhone photo on internet with lightning charging cradle which resemble iPhone 5c, but if it’s observed closely, that’s not iPhone 5c. Is it iPhone 6c? iPhone 6c accidentally leaked.
On that picture, is seen home button has changed with touch ID as it wrote by Neowin:
“Found within the company’s own UK-based iPhone Accessories store, a photo of a colorized iPhone looking like the iPhone 5C was found sitting on a lightning charging cradle. When looking closer, one would notice that the phone was different in one way from the 5C: the home button on the displayed device appeared to have the Touch ID found on the current iPhone 6 & 6 Plus. This photo was quickly replaced with a current iPhone 5C image, but not before site visitors caught on and shared the photo.”
Forbes updated:
“Apple has now pulled the photo and replaced it with a standard shot of the current iPhone 5C. It chose not to discredited the photo, which traditionally is a strong sign of authenticity.”
Did Apple accidentally lay an upcoming device for iPhone 6c? Well, it still a speculation, because Apple has its own producing style. They will start to produce when it’s approaching the launch of their new product. But if it’s true, it can be a new hope for iPhone users who feel that iPhone 6 is too big to be hold. If we see the photo above and if the assumption is right that iPhone 6c will has display size of 4 inches and it’s seen from the power button which is still lied on the top. For hardware interval if we seen Apple habits in producing iPhone range, seems that iPhone 6c will have A7 processor, dual LED and 8MP iSight.
