Nokia suggests users consider their affordable Lumia 520 instead of the 8GB iPhone 5c

Today Apple released an 8GB variant of its iPhone 5c in select markets, citing it as a more affordable alternative. Unfortunately more affordable does not mean cheap as the device is selling for around €550 (the equivalent of $765) across Europe, as much as many top-shelf devices. Nokia used this fact to point out that users should consider their Lumia 520 instead of the iPhone 5c

Apple iPhone 5c vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 - Video Comparison

We have already seen the Galaxy S4 go up against the iPhone 5 in a previous comparison. Since the Apple iPhone 5c is basically a repackaged version of its predecessor, this test shouldn't be too different. The only differences are that the newer iPhone is $100 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S4 on contract and runs the brand new iOS 7.0 update. While the Galaxy S4 will definitely have an advantage in the specs department, neither device will likely let you down when it comes to day to day use.

All iPhones go head to head in a speed comparison video

Device comparisons are a common thing. We generally look forward to how one device stacks up against another, in an attempt to help select the best device for us. If you are an iPhone user you choice is generally simple, as Apple releases only one iPhone a year. This year was different as Apple chose to release two devices into the market.

Five Reasons not to upgrade to the Apple iPhone 5c

Apple recently unveiled two new iPhones, the iPhone 5c which is a repackaged version of last year's iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5s as the company's newest flagship. While the iPhone 5s is a decent upgrade for iPhone users, we felt a little cheated by the iPhone 5c which is offered at a premium price, but isn't the premium device we are used to seeing from Apple(at least in our opinion).

We feel users should skip the Apple iPhone 5c and consider purchasing the iPhone 5s or get the cheaper Apple iPhone 4s. We have even put together a list of five reasons explaining exactly why you shouldn't upgrade to the Apple iPhone 5c

Apple iPhone 5c - Video Reviews

The Apple iPhone 5c is essentially a repackaged version of the Apple iPhone 5, stealing its predecessor's position behind the Apple iPhone 5s. The Apple iPhone 5c comes with a a 4 inch Retina touch display, up to 32GB of internal storage, an 8 megapixel BSI camera and will be powered by an Apple A6 processor with 1GB of RAM.

In any case Apple's hardware is solid, whether its plastic or otherwise and the iPhone 5c is a good option for a first time Apple customer. Additionally Apple's iOS 7 goes well with the choice of colors used by Apple's mid-range smartphone which looks like it is definitely here to stay.

Purchasing a new iPhone is always pricey, and its natural that users will want to get the best deals they can on the recently announced Apple iPhone 5S and the Apple iPhone 5C. While Apple products are very rarely discounted, Walmart is offering reduced prices on both new iPhones, making them slightly a slightly more appealing retailer.

Does the iPhone 5c offer good value for money? Check out some great alternatives

After several months of rumors and hypes, Apple finally announced their iPhone 5c which was expected to arrive as an affordable iPhone meant to win back the smartphone market from Android and Windows Phone. Its now clear that Apple in no way considers their iPhone an affordable device as it  is priced at $550 off contract.

While some may argue that the $99 price can be classed as affordable, carriers have been trying to move away from the subsided pricing platform with programs similar to T-Mobile's Un-Carrier initiative. This means that even users in the US will have to pay the full $550 to own Apple's newest iPhone.

Apple's iPhone 2013 lineup - The way it should have been

As I browse through various social media websites, I am surprised to see the Apple iPhone 5C branded Apple's mid-range smartphone. In reality the iPhone 5C is overpriced despite its misleading $99 price tag as it has taken the rightful place of the Apple iPhone 5 which has mysteriously lost is place in this year's lineup. While expecting Apple to release a budget device to compete with the Nokia Lumia 520 seems far fetched, this is how I think the Apple iPhone 2013 lineup should have looked like.
