Why the iPhone 5C is not selling

baka mga elite studenst or kids ang target ng 5c sir.

pagtatawanan lang ng mga kaklase pag naka 5C

I suppose they are looking to diversify to penetrate the mid/lower end market. To me the price difference is low enough to encourage new buyers and not high enough for people who are into the veblen market..

Sa US madali ang 5C. $100 cash plus 2 year plan may Apple ka na.

Outside US, mahal pa rin, mga 22-24T Petot.

I suppose they are looking to diversify to penetrate the mid/lower end market. To me the price difference is low enough to encourage new buyers and not high enough for people who are into the veblen market. They should do a Rolex/Tudor. Make a similar product by a different brand but watered down significantly.

the only problem is they did not setup the 5C for the mid and entry level market. Apple has only ever been interested in the high end market and that's what they said when they came out with the price of the 5C. so high end market people who are the same target as the 5S just don't want to buy the 5C because of the lack of elite-factor.

if they priced it lower.. mas nag click sana yan.. kaso halos nandon na din ang presyo.. eh di mag 5S ka na..

My guess is they want to kill the competition by pricing the 5c along the range of the S4 and other android phones thinking that the consumers who can afford the mid range android would buy 5c instead. However, samsung did not budge and released the note3+gear instead. Apple is just too selfish!

My thoughts.

I agree the 5C doesn't look premium at all. Looks cheap. If they're still selling it as a high end product I am confused, why make it look cheap, and water it down? Identity crisis talaga. Better stick to what you know hehe.

We should tell Globe and Smart

If these prices are indicative of wordwide pricing it affirms to me it looks like they're trying to move mid market with the 5C... Despite what they're selling at release time.

usually kasi 'di ba pag nagrerelease ng bagong phone ang apple, yung previous model eh magbababa ng price (like 100 USD?). Kung ginawa nila ngayon yan, yung iphone 5 eh mas bababa ang price kasi nga may iphone 5s na. Yung magiging price ng iphone 5 after release ng iphone 5s is yung price ng iphone 5c ngayon. Pero, mas mababa ang cost of production ng 5c 'diba? so, phase out 5, palitan ng 5c para mas mababa ang cost of production, pero same price lang ng 5c ang supposedly price dapat ng 5 kung di nila ni discontinue. kaso nga lang hindi dig ng mga SC ang 5C. hehe
