The iPhone “5C” could mark the end of marketing of the iPhone 5 and cost…

Everything seems to indicate that as the start of the school year approaches, the iPhone range should
undergo a profound overhaul with a wider range, particularly with
the arrival of the'cheap' iPhone or
'5C'.

The question of repositioning the range had already arisenin this article where some saw the iPhone 5
potentially at end of life.

This rumor is confirmed today via an analysis ofMingchi
Kuo, from KGI, which has proven to be quite reliable in the past and which is moving forward
that theiPhone 5 could disappear from the iPhone range, All
giving production figures for the end of the year:

So, for him, theiPhone 5Cshould
replace theiPhone 5rather than the iPhone 4S.

Analyst estimates that the iPhone 5 will be at the end of its life in the 4th quarter of 2013
while the iPhone 4S should continue to be offered at least until the end
of the year.

He specifies that production should be established around28 millions
for 5Sand of18.7 million for the 5Cduring
this last quarter.

L‘iPhone "5C"would position itself as the mid-range iPhone
range with a price revolving around400 / 500 dollarsSO
that theiPhone 4S would act as entry-level with a price of around
300 / 400 dollars.

The iPhone 4 should see its career end after 3 years of good and
loyal service.

Finally, theiPhone 5S would include a 128 GB versionSO
that theiPhone 5C is expected with two capacities: 16 and 32
Go.

It must be admitted that such a choice may be surprising if it is confirmed. Indeed,
the arrival of an iPhone 5C which would have replaced the iPhone 4S, alongside a
Brand new iPhone 5S would have allowed Apple tokeep only
machines with a 4-inch screen and Lightning connectivity
catalogue….

Once again, there is not much longer to wait, thekeynote of 10
septemberarriving quickly.
