Cheaper 8GB iPhone 5C announced

Apart from the 16 and 32GB models of the iPhone 5C, Apple is adding in an 8GB variant that is much more affordable for the crowd.

The 16 and the 32GB versions are currently priced at $549 and $649 respectively in the US, while the new 8GB iPhone 5C goes around for an estimate of $66 less in Europe. It is possible that the 8GB version will be priced at around $499 when it arrives in the west, and when it does arrive here, there’s a chance that it will be playing around the Php25k mark in the Apple Store.

Ill buy this phone for basic phone functionality alone. Not suitable for multimedia. Calls and text maybe, just to replace my Nokia.

Kalahati nalang ma titira dyan sa space na yan. Dapat may mas mataas na cloud storage na free sa mga ganyan na phone. By the way, may 8gb na i phone 4 pa na avail sa globe (tama ba?). Syempre wala ka nang magagawa sa ip4 pag labas ng ip6 at eto na (ip5c) ang pinaka mababang model na ibebenta ng apple.

8gb? tapos mga so and so na mga 4gb lng ung usable storage?

sa laki ng capacity ng mga apps ngaun kulang na kulang yan.

well, sa mga apple fans, regardless kung ilang GB as long as may iphone pwede na…

sa mga droid users… xempre may babanat na android is better.

just saying.

Ilang GB na lang makukuha mo after system files sa 8GB. Sobrang bitin nito pang call text at konting selfie lang, few apps and files. Hassle pa-delete delete ka ng apps everytime you install new one. Just saying, coz I have an 8GB iPod Touch before. :)

For that kind of price the Sony Xperia Z1 compact is the better choice! ?

Its not cheaper it’s crappier. Would rather buy a xperiaz2 Or even a very cheap rebranded phone than this brick made of crap.

Crappy pero binasa nya yung article. Umaasa siguro na baka afford na nya yung cheaper version ng 5c kasi bumaba na yung price Unfortunately di pa rin kaya so bash-bash mode nalang ulit. #weaklings
