When it became known that Apple was going to launch a second cheaper iPhone model to enter the mid-range market, no one ventured to confirm an exact price of the terminal, something that already made us suspect. Still, some analysts labeled the iPhone 5C as the low-cost model and yes, it is cheaper than the iPhone 5S but it is not exactly economical in global terms.
France is one of the first countries in which the terminal will be sold free and we can already see the prices of the iPhone 5C. The most bleeding thing is that the basic 16GB model it will cost 599 euros and if we go to the 32GB version, the amount rises to 699 euros, that is, the same price as the cheapest iPhone 5S.
Is it worth buying the iPhone 5C being almost the same as the iPhone 5? My personal opinion is that not at all. The truth is that I liked the iPhone 5C in the leaks and while I was watching the keynote but seeing the price of the terminal, it gives me that it will be a smartphone that I will see in passing in an Apple Store and that's it. Expensive, very expensive to have a hardware from a year ago.
If the iPhone 5C does not seem expensive to you, you can buy it in white, pink, yellow, blue and green. At the moment We do not know when it will be possible to acquire it in Spain since unlike in other keynotes, Apple has not detailed this point and has simply mentioned that by the end of the year it will be available in more than 100 countries.

Well, I honestly do not understand this version at that price ...
Nobody understands, on top of that if you enter the official page, you can see that free in the US will cost 549, so in conversion to euros it should cost about 500, although we know that it is usually € 1 - $ 1, so ... what the hell is it this that the conversion is more than 1 euro per dollar? SCAMMED in every way, very expensive.
I think it's a Tax thing. There they bear lower tax burdens if I'm not mistaken 🙁
Less taxes in the USA, while here between fees and taxes and other things that are invented, we have to raise the country based on buying telephones and others. Another thing is that I do not know if the taxes on the usa page are included, since depending on the state it has different taxes ...
Apple does not pay taxes in Spain, it does it through Ireland. In fact, here in Spain, this year, it is going to return 4 million euros of the money of all Spaniards.
Easy, I'll explain it to you:
1- Here 2-year warranty, there 1 year.
2- The rates of bringing iPhones to market them in Europe are higher.
And period. $ 1 = € 1 is not converted, but they take what it costs and apply the same% of profit margin.
Yes, everything is very nice, but it is still very expensive everywhere, and here even more. We Europeans have the faces of the rich and we have almost nowhere to drop dead.
Piece of scam the 5C, by me or that Apple is already sinking with such crazy price, or that ALL PEOPLE complain and refuse to buy it (which surely not) but Apple needs a slump in sales, both Iphone with materials cheaper to be worth the same ... hello? XD
You don't need Apple to go under, you can just not buy their products in replica form, but you say it as if you were forced to buy them just because they exist ...
Hello! Yes, you are right, but the truth is that I still think that it deserves that this product is not sold for all the profit it is trying to find with it! But you are absolutely right, not buying the products is enough! Thanks!
I understand that the products are sold without the tax of each state. At that price you have to add the tax that depends on the state where you buy them.
A full-blown scam. Apple has taken the iPhone 5, cut costs, and is selling it at the same price.
A pity, this model at € 350 - € 399 would have been successful, at € 600 NO. I think they were wrong with the strategy.
The truth is very strange, I do not understand why they did this, I expected it cheaper. I would never buy it at that price. The only thing I can think of is that the strategy is precisely that it is not sold free and only get it through phone companies, leaving the 5s free for people who want it that way.
Beyond all I'm a bit stunned
The biggest Apple tease, I have been disappointed a lot. This new Apple is dead. I will give it another chance with the iPhone 6 and if not I will look to change my 4s for the lumias. You can't fool people like that, last year's technology in a plastic Caracas for 69 euros less than the iPhone 5 cost last year. And let's not talk about how we don't even know when it comes out in Spain. Not Apple, not like this
It is too expensive to buy. Better save a little more and the 5S goes. Has better things
A scam as some say ... instead of buying me a more expensive iPhone 5 but with poorer materials for almost half I buy a real iPhone 5 but second hand ... what a fabric ... with the "competitive price" ... incredible. . I thought they were going to put an ideal price to compete with the nexus 4 for example ... I don't understand.
I hope the criticism rains on him because it is the only way to recoup the price, also this means that the iPhone 5S will be at least € 700, it seems too exaggerated ...
The truth, for me, neither the 5S nor the 5C are worth what they will cost. Apple lost a floor. They are NOT the best on the market anymore and by far.
And who is the best in the market? Android with its lags and its viruses? Nokia with its 10 applications in total or blackberry?
We all agree the 5C is an old mobile and lowering manufacturing costs and for a pittance less. The iPhone 5 as such should have dropped a lot more and if it is already included the even cheaper plastic case.
A starting price of € 400 was understood pulling high. But anyway. If someone is thinking of spending a fortune on an iPhone for little more, they have the latest model much more powerful and destined to last by specifications much longer.
We'll see how the competition kicks off Apple after this, the poor had to be scared. But they will laugh at them and at the buyers. It should not be sold just and so they teach.
Google Nexus 4 for € 199. No need to wait long ...
They laugh in our faces. But the worst thing is the users, that we all continue with iPhone.
I don't understand the criticism. So far they have had the 4S for sale for 100 euros less than the 5 and it was hardware from a year ago. They continue with the same sales strategy as until yesterday.
THE NORMAL ALUMINUM IPHONE 5 WOULD BE BETTER THAN TO TAKE OUT AN IPHONE 5 D EPLASTIC AT THE SAME PRICE THE IDEAL WOULD BE THE LOW-RANGE 5C THE MID-RANGE NORMAL IPHONE 5 AND HIGH-RANGE 5S
Low cost? hahahahahaha if that's the low cost I can't imagine the high cost hahahahaha
Hi I think nobody said low cost, the c is for color. The low cost thing was invented by all the forums and media.
regards
scam scam! what a disappointment! We will always have to buy it through a company, it will be necessary to see if they respect American prices. The truth is, for € 90 if I caught it, on the street! Greetings!
Apple already put us doubled last year by raising prices for a phone that did include improvements, but it is obvious, who is going to do something new and make it worse? Well, for an update without innovation, it raised the prices, now ... it takes out two different versions, to continue increasing the price, but without any innovation, only with the same necessary improvements (mainly for them) each year.
A scam, robbery and a full-blown hoax ... Without Jobs, there is nothing really new ...
What is new about colors? it's a joke, right?
What scammers, and I have been monitoring this mobile for days because VAT is supposed to be low cost, I switch to android !!!!
Mother of orthography!
Me getting excited seeing the price (not free) and thinking that Apple had changed its technological egoism. Seeing this, my face falls ashamed. I like the operating system it has but the prices of its iPhones / iPads are very expensive, no, the following. At this rate it is much better to take a second-hand iPhone 3GS or 4 or leave the firm.
Those of Apple still believe that they only sell the IPhones for their operating system and they take the luxury of raising prices so that for them 'low cost' is 600-700 euros. I do not know how it will turn out in companies but I am sure that it will turn out very similar. These have been added to the smartphone from € 0 hiding everything else. To have if they become aware that not everyone touches their noses, charging € 20000 a month and saying the 'low cost' thing in the face of others.
It would be very good if I had a family member in situations in which millions of Spaniards pass and cannot tell them to buy an iPhone for 100 bucks as they sell laughing and proud at conferences, if all this would compensate a substantial change of an iPhone to another, maybe someone would think about it for a few more seconds ... For me it would happen to android or Windows iPhone or any other but at the moment they are taking advantage of the revolution of the operating system of the great Steve Job I find it embarrassing and insulting to his memory. Now to say Apple is not to refer to the Apple of before that we criticized less and we did not value it as we should now. I hope they realize this and do something profitable that we are not one of those rich people who don't care to hear € 200 or € 20000.
A normal citizen of Spain cannot afford that telephone that simply and is not going to die for not having it.
I sincerely expected:
€ 669 iPhone 5S
€ 599 iPhone 5
€ 469 iPhone 5C (same specs as 5 but with 5MPX camera)
THAT WOULD BE REASONABLE
And 469 for the 5c seems expensive to me. I value the 5c at 399 no more.
And who told you that this iPhone was going to be low cost? I do not understand why they are disappointed if it was never confirmed, if they have not realized the C is for COLOR, neither more nor less.
Basically, EXPENSIVE ... I think people will buy other really low cost brands ... like BQ which is also Made in Spain
Thank you Apple, or should I call you New Apple, because you have lost your way and your mind.
Thanks for what you've done, I'm going for the Galaxy S4 Mini. That is a great move and cheaper on top.
APPLE continues to give me reasons to migrate to the competition, but that they have believed that by lowering the quality of the materials and adding color to what I do not want with color they can continue to charge the same ???.
My humble opinion
http://elblogdelespecialistacholo.blogspot.com.es/
AT THAT BETTER PRICE I BUY THE NORMAL IPHONE 5 WHICH IS MUCH BETTER PHONE THAN THE 5C BECAUSE IT IS FOR A STUDENT AND WILL GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF A 5S AND THE 5C LOOKS LIKE A TOY OR A CHINESE EMITATION
INSTEAD OF THE IPHONE 5C WHICH WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE, THE GALAXY S4 IS BETTER WHICH IS FROM 8000 TO 9000 VAROS IN MERCADOLIBRE
But why are you surprised, Apple is like that, take it or leave it, and what if there are people unemployed or I don't know what ... DEMAGOGY, could you say that about louis vuitton, damn there are brands that are expensive, hell, buy you a huawei if you want a good price
