iPhone 5C

Apple has slashed rates of their base iPhone model in India, the iPhone 5C. The phone which was launched at Rs 41,990 is now available for Rs 5000 less at Rs 36,899. Add various online schemes and promotions and the phone costs even lesser. Definitely good news for the Apple fanboys.

However, despite the price-cut, does the iPhone 5C still deserve a chance? iPhone 5C has clearly been failing in India and post the launch Apple soon came out with contracts and buyback schemes for the phone. The latest price-cut is clearly an indication that all is not well with the phone in India.

And we can see why. With competition heating up, there's no real need for people to splurge on a phone which doesn't offer any real innovations and is mainly nothing but an outdated model wrapped in coloured bits of plastic. Also, with the launch of amazing budget Android devices at quarter the price of the iPhone, the budget conscious Indian clearly has his priorities in place.

iPhone 5C

At Rs 36,899 the phone is one of the premium phones and falls in the high-end segment. Comparing the features and the specifications to the price, there's a wide yawning gap. BlackBerry OS, Android and Windows all have phones with unique features and offerings in the range while iPhone 5C is just a basic model unlike the 5S which boasts of innovations.

iPhone 5C comes with a black front and the coloured backs. The display is a 4-inch retina display screen. The display resolution is 1136 x 640 pixels resolution at 326 ppi. Under the hood runs the same old A6 chip, instead of the all new A7 processor. The phone comes with 8 MP camera  and is available in 8 GB and 16 GB variants.

The specifications are just a rehash of the iPhone 5 which Apple discontinued (for obvious reasons) and does not justify the price0tag at all. However, if you're a blind Apple fanboy and would do anything for that logo, then we guess it's good news for you! For the others, stick to your Lumias and Samsungs/Sonys for now.
