Although hours before the official launch by Apple almost all the details were leaked, the launch of the "new" 5Gb iPhone 8c and the recovery of the iPad 4 to replace the iPad 2 caught most by surprise, unaccustomed to Apple make these moves without introductions of new devices already "mid-year." After the first 24 hours of the launch, the opinions seem unanimous: the iPad 4 is welcome, with an identical price to the iPad 2 but with much higher specifications (Retina screen, better processor, better camera ...), but the iPhone 5c is still the "misunderstood" Apple. Its price is still considered very high, and the new 8Gb capacity has only made things worse.
The smartphone cannot get rid of the "low cost" label that Apple never mentioned, but that we all strive to place before its launch, and despite the fact that its specifications improve on those of the iPhone 5, its polycarbonate casing does not seem to convince users who think that it should have a much lower price than the current one. Of course, I will not be the one to defend the price of the terminal, which obviously seems excessive, but it is curious that now everyone sees the 8Gb capacity as insufficient when the iPhone 4 and 4s have been sold with that same capacity , and the latter is still for sale. And I say it, I have a 5Gb iPhone 64. Obviously everyone has their needs and priorities, but I know a good handful of people for whom 8Gb is more than enough, in fact some have iPhone with that capacity and they are delighted. It is even more curious that those 8Gb are criticized so harshly when there are smartphones that theoretically offer more, but in practice they fall almost as short.
This image compares the most important 16Gb smarthones (it is a few months old), and the real capacities they offer to users. It turns out that the Samsung Galaxy S4, an extraordinary terminal and the flagship of Samsung, offers the user only half the capacity it is supposed to have. Its 16Gb decrease due to the operating system and all the software that Samsung adds to its terminals, leaving only 8,56Gb available for applications and data. The 5Gb iPhone 8c offers 4,9Gb of free space to its users, 3,7Gb less than the Galaxy S4, which in theory doubles the capacity of the 5c.
Obviously I cannot forget that the Galaxy S4 has a microSD slot to expand its capacity, but it must also be said that this microSD cannot be used to install apps. I insist, I am not trying to convince anyone that the 5c is a great option to buy, far from it, but just to emphasize that Not all that glitters is gold, nor is it as bad as they paint it.
Excuse me Luis, "and despite the fact that its specifications improve on those of the iPhone 5"? really? You don't want to tell me that because they put a hair and a half more battery in it, it already improves the iPhone 5?
I precisely the only defect that I see in this (very nice for my taste) iPhone, is that they have not put, in a plastic case, the same technology as an iPhone 5S. Many people who criticize this model, have not really had it in hand, and once you see it, I imagine that many people will happen like me, you end up liking that touch, that feeling of non-fragility, etc.
If instead of kidding us, not with the price, if not with selling you an iPhone 5 in disguise and they had put the 64-bit chip, touchID and others, it would have sold much better.
he has not had it in his hand. hahahaha. since 2008 it was possible to have it in it. What a form of conformity. And that they have not put the same thing as the 5s, my mother. read again what this man says.
Than?
For me 3,7Gb is 4Gb. So you are enlarging the difference in the title more
Not to mention that you can erase a lot of trash from Samsung and the Iphone NL, and that you can put a 64gb micro SD for 30e (Apple charges a difference of 100 euros for 16gb) and if you can install apps on it.
3.7 is closer to 4 than to 3.
What aim ...
You defend the indefensible, in the Galaxy S4 you can use the 8GB for applications, and what the microSD cards offer you can be used in photos, videos and more ... also I don't know what kind of Galaxy you mean because in mine I have the option to move the apps to the memory card, currently I have a 128GB microSD of which I can exchange it with my other 64 memory without any problem. Now tell me what advantages or benefits you can see in a 4,9 GB iPhone free for the user. Even my 9 year old nephew would spank him in the face, with 3 sets of great graphics he would fill him up.
samsung samsung samsung. writing and pronouncing that mark is orgasmic for all of you, right? It is seen that they are very fired and fearful for who took away their throne and let me tell you that it was not Samsung. but the apple itself. she herself will also be the one to sink. sayonara socks. Oh yeah. I was asking for something yesterday. I already arrived. the fanboy who knows what number goes out to defend the indefensible and crying so that they leave their beloved alone. POOR!
do yourself a favor. delete your post and keep crying in the corner
As far as I know, the galaxy received an update that freed a bit more memory than the one in that graph and allowed to install applications on the sd. But seeing how the information is used, it is normal that the data that best suits the interests of the editor is used even if they are not the most current. As some comments say, the headline talking about 3 gigabytes when there are almost four, a difference of 700 megabytes over 3 gigabytes is quite relevant, it is at least tendentious.
I would rather say that the 16-gigabyte galaxy has almost twice as many free gigs compared to the 8-gigabyte iphone. It also has the possibility of adding more through the microsd.
It also strikes me that having those almost 5 gigs free seems enough for you. If we think that many games already occupy 1 gigabyte, that a five-minute video can weigh about 400 megabytes, some podcasts (right now I have almost 1 gigabyte in this alone), a little music, etc. the 8 gigabytes seem ridiculous to me . I'm not talking about having great things on your mobile, entire series or anything like that.
Anyway…
You could hide a little more because you see a kilometer that you defend Apple to death and in this case there are no arguments to defend this trick of Apple. They are selling a terminal with technology from two years ago, made of plastic and with 8 gigabytes at a high-end price, no matter where you look at this movement, it lacks any logic but I don't know how you do it to get excuses from anywhere to exonerate Manzana. As they have said above, it would be best to delete the post and that's it.
A greeting.
You can be an idiot, you can be a very idiot, and then you can be as idiotic as this Luis Pacotilla.
Compare this rubbish of 8gn and almost 500 euros with an S4 in terms of storage capacity when one is clearly a winner by having no limitations and offering an Sd slot and with 64gb memories costing 35 euros.
8gb is fine about three years ago when the iPhone 4 and 4s came out, but now with what the applications weigh it is too short and most of those who are worth it, I tell you that they do not even know what iTunes is, what They wear it for fashion or because their friend bought it.
The good thing about the Android system that you can erase more than half of the Software that you don't want to have, therefore, there would be free gigs ...
on ios there is no way to natively uninstall apps or functions that you don't want.
I have an S4 and ipad2
in S4 he came from home with more than 4 gigs consumed .. and now only 2
the rom that you install only weighs 800 megabytes and goes like a shot! 2 days without charging the mobile.
CONCLUSION:
not everything is space ... if how you can manage it!
And in that Android is a thousand times better than an iOS and for the record I like ios and I have ipad
It is one thing that we mock apple and another that they take us for fools. How many gigs do your photos and videos occupy? In fact, if I don't pass them on to the pc, my 16GB (well, they are less) they won't reach me. The photos can go to the samsung sd? Well that's it, the comparison doesn't make sense to me.
And also, everyone knows about their economy and if it comes from a 4s or earlier and it does not arrive for the 5s it could still be justified but the one that having a 5 pays for a 5c is that he has no forgiveness from God
-I'm an iPhonefan, but I do not agree with you, I agree that they tease us
-Regarding Samsung 4 it has the advantage of the microsd that you can use to install the app and enter data
-the freedom of the sun, it peels me, it is something very referred to by the samsugmaniacs, so they have the freedom to have all the malware in the world.
-That Apple makes us this offer is a duty court for the different reasons that the people who have already commented have explained to you and I will not repeat
-Don't defend the indefensible
Exactly. The defense of the 5c should be of the "look what colors!" Because there is no more. Let's kid ourselves, aesthetics also sell: if someone wants it, they should buy it. Now, they will be few
Luis, you are one of the editors that I respect the most current affairs (if not the one who most), because I have known you for a long time from other sites, but with this article you have fallen with the whole team, really.
I can not understand what we could come to describe as a sick obsession of the editors of Actualidad to defend this very evident Apple scam, but this article Luis already borders on the absurd.
First, you say that the iPhone 5c improves on the iPhone 5, in that an antenna is more than of little use and that it has a tad more battery life? Really for you that you are a true connoisseur of these devices, is this how to use it in their defense? really? I can't believe what I read.
Second, you say that you know a lot of people who with an 8gb terminal are very happy trying to defend this new and infamous Apple maneuver. Really? Many? I guess I don't need to explain the weight of current games (which by logic will always increase), right? Or the videos, or the photos, or the music. A smartphone with the characteristics of an iPhone with a fixed memory of 8GB is completely absurd. There will always be someone for whom it is enough (as there may be someone who with half or less has no problems either) but obviously it is not the general trend, far from it. So using that argument seems incredible to me and more coming from someone like you.
Third, and this is where all the credit runs out ... How can you compare the internal memory of the iPhone 5c with that of the Galaxy S4 (although of course it is a scam to say that it has 16gb), when the Galaxy S4 has a MicroSD slot and therefore the memory can be expanded without any problem? And all this without taking into account the facility that you have in that terminal to remove "garbage" and gain much more space. Ease that does not exist in an iPhone but beware! Not even if you have the jailbreak done.
As I already mentioned in the article in which I discussed with Gonzalo, it seems that Actualidad was paid by Apple and these articles are a sample of it. You defend what is completely and totally indefensible, you use arguments for that defense that are totally childish (you couldn't use them in any other class because they simply don't exist), and for that reason you have lost all the objectivity that you had, and also in an exaggerated way. I would never have thought that an article of these characteristics would come out of you because of who you are, I see with real sadness that I was wrong.
The problem with the iPhone 5c is that either you write by crushing it and saying that it is an armed robbery, or then you are a pro-Apple Taliban defending the indefensible. I think neither one nor the other. I like the iPhone 5c, I like its polycarbonate case and I like the idea that it is available in various colors. Maybe it reminds me of the iPhone 3GS with which I started in the iPhone world, or my white Macbook that I still use, but the fact is that for me (and it is only my opinion) that it has a polycarbonate casing does not mean that its quality is lower, nor do I understand the one who says that because it is plastic it should already cost half.
That said, I wouldn't buy it, simply because it seems expensive to me. For little more I have the iPhone 5s (which I have not bought either). I have made it clear in the article: I do not defend the price of the 5c, it seems indefensible to me. But I'm not going to crush a terminal for being polycarbonate or for having 8Gb. I have already said why in the first case, I like it. And in the second case (the 8Gb) I do not understand that it is crushed when its predecessors have not been crushed, also with 8Gb. Yes, I know many people who have 8Gb iPhones and they are happy. Many of you forget that most iPhone users do not install 1Gb games on their device, they do not even use it to watch videos that they have stored on it. Many users only want the iPhone because they like it, because they have had one before and it has done well, and because they know that the terminal will last 3 years without the slightest problem. But they only have a couple of news applications installed, twitter, some games and WhatsApp. They don't need more than 8Gb for that. Your case will not be that (neither is it for me), but that does not imply that there are not a large part of iPhone users who are included in that group.
You also forget that not everyone is "lucky" to live in Spain, where the operators offer us abusive rates for 24 months of permanence and they do not reduce us one euro from the iPhone. Go to O2, on the UK page. You have an 5Gb iPhone 8c for £ 0, paying £ 43 a month with 8Gb of data, for 24 months, or paying £ 28 a month, although this time you will have to pay £ 49,99 initial to get it. Of course, in Spain if I want to get the iPhone 5C (16Gb) I have to pay € 538 and then € 24,20 per month… the difference is substantial. Why do they offer us these prices in Spain? That's another history.
Can I have a different opinion from the rest? I think so. Does this already mean that I am "bought" by Apple? I know perfectly what I think, why I think it, and I am lucky to be able to express it here. It is my opinion, if by saying that you already believe that I am a pro-Apple "Taliban", then I am very sorry, I believe that it is not like that, but for that reason I am not going to change my way of thinking.
Let's see Luis, I answer you:
The first, at no time have I said that you are bought by Apple (reread my post), what I have said is that it seems that Actualidad is, I repeat, IT SEEMS. This is very different, and you also know very well that this is not just mine, the users who tell you this in many of your news are legion.
Nor have I ever said that the iPhone 5c is a bad device (look for my posts), because it is not. What I have said and I also reaffirm myself in this is that it is a scam, and it is because it is aimed at the most fanatical users of Apple, that is, those, who would buy and pay for everything that Apple puts on the market. This time even those fans have not bite (unfortunately for Apple).
Why do I say that the iPhone 5c is a scam ??? Well, very simple because a plastic phone (no matter how good it is, it is still plastic) is occupying the place that now should be occupying by Apple's renewal guideline the iPhone 5, an aluminum and glass terminal. But the worst, and therein lies the scam, is that it has the same price as a device with premium qualities should have. That is to say, it is much cheaper for Apple to manufacture the iPhone 5c but it asks for the same thing that it would ask for a terminal that costs much more to manufacture; And of course, in order not to give any escape route, it removes the iPhone 5 from its catalog.
Regarding what you tell me about the article, of course there are people who do not need 16Gb and also, as I have told you in my previous post, surely there will also be people who with 2GB also have enough. But… let's face it, are you really telling me that the capacity part on a smartphone is not important? Really? Are you telling me this? Because luis, this is that you don't believe it or you. A terminal of these characteristics with 8Gb is absurd no matter where you look at it and if terminals with that capacity have been sold and sold it is because THE PRICE more or less accompanies, and they tend to be buyers who, due to their low purchasing power, have no other remedy if you want an advanced terminal. Do not tell me that a large part of Apple users have enough with an 8Gb terminal because I think that if we get sales figures that large part will remain in a very small part compared to the other capacities and your argument is it's going to fall like a house of cards ..
Luis, in my opinion you have screwed up a lot with this article, have you spoken to establish your defense arguments for improvements to the iPhone 5c compared to the iPhone 5, improvements? Come on Luis, I already told you that we have known each other for a long time and that Pediatrucho would not consider it improvements or joke. You have argued that 8Gb is worth many people, now you even say that a large number of Apple users which is ... Pufff. But it is that to finish and curl the curl you compare the internal memory of an iPhone with that of a Galaxy which has a MicroSD card, in addition to the ease of eliminating "garbage" from it.
It seems perfect that you express your tastes and opinions but what you have done here using the arguments you have used has been to defend the indefensible and that is what ALL the editors who write about the iPhone 5c are doing, ALL. Not a single word criticizes this terminal or what it means, not a single one. The writing has to be a real wonder because not even God has a conflicting opinion. I am an Apple user and I have them; I was delighted with Apple and that's why I have 3 of their devices but when I don't like something I say it openly; It seems that the entire newsroom of Actualidad absolutely likes everything that Apple does, whatever it is, because at no time is there a criticism of anything that comes out of Cupertino, nothing.
I do not know what world you will live in, but in mine the storage capacity is something important when buying a device, the more memory available is the better. I am not a gamer, not a businessman, not a photographer, but if I am a multitasker when it comes to having a smartphone, because one day of our lives we happen to make a long-term video on some important day of our lives, suddenly it occurs to me download a high-quality game, or a friend does not have a USB memory and needs to save important files etc. What am I going to do with a 3 or 4GB smartphone?
This is what I mean, as much as you are a person who only uses the iphone only for calls, in a day of your life you will end up needing more capacity than 4gb. I say this from experience.
Well there you have to understand that most of the potential buyers of the 5gb ipone 8c are not regular players, much less handle the terminal beyond watching videos on youtube, listening to music and having social media applications, they do not think of 64 gb or fill the terminal for photos or videos or much less games
I have noticed this because I have co-workers who have iPhone 5s and do not fill the 3 GB because they simply want a mobile for what it is to communicate with you, they do not want to root it nor are they interested in taking photos with their double camera, far from it get down to compressing your music.
