Apple will stop iPhone 5c production in 2015

When the iPhone 5c first hit the market back in late 2013 it did not receive a warm welcome like all previous generation iPhones had before. It stood in the shadow of it's superior twin brother the iPhone 5s and was often referred to as the "cheap" iPhone, even though there was about a $100 difference between the two models. But many factors have contributed in making people believe that the 5c was a knock off version of the 5s. 

The first one being it was made of plastic and not aluminium like the 5s. When people buy Apple's products they expect the product to feel like it's worth a thousand bucks. More than likely the first two words which are going to pop into your head when thinking of Apple are quality and exclusivity and hearing the word plastic or even using it when describing an Apple product is absolutely absurd. 

The second factor which contributed to that cheap state of mind was the 5c did not feature Touch ID, a fingerprint scanner which had been implemented into the iPhone 5s. Many people saw this as a downgrade and the whole point of picking up a new iPhone every year is to benefit from the new features which the new device has to offer.

The third and fourth factors which led people to believe that the iPhone 5c was a joke were, the 5c featured an A6 chip. A chip which had already been living inside the iPhone 5 for a full year. The 5s on the other hand came with a shiny A7 chip with 64-bit architecture and an M7 motion co-processor. A lot of casual gamers and speed freaks viewed the iPhone 5s as an absolute necessity and would not give the 5c a second look. 

Apple led a whole marketing campaign for the iPhone 5c claiming it was "For the colorful." It appealed to a few people until they received the actual device. Some people claimed that the colors looked washed out and not as vibrant as Apple said they would be. Which is why the blue and white versions of the device were proven in being the most popular color options which Apple had to offer.

I personally fell in love with the 5c when I picked it up last month. I've been using the device as my daily driver ever since and I can honestly say that all of the accusations about the iPhone 5c feeling cheap were way off. Which is why it's sad for me to say, according to Taiwan's Industrial and Commercial Times, Apple will be stopping the production of the iPhone 5c sometime in 2015. This is probably being done in order to keep the 5s and the current generation iPhone 6 and the 6 plus alive when the iPhone 6s comes out in 2015.

I will be picking up the iPhone 6s next year, but for those of you who are on the border whether to pick up the 5c for yourself or for a loved one, don't hesitate. It's a great device overall and ios 8 runs incredibly smooth on the device.
