iPhone 5C: LTE, 5 colours, 16GB\/32GB<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf my maths is right, this now means only 19 variants \u2014 far less than before! If they’re overhauling the market with an entirely different approach to selling iPhones, a simplified lineup certainly feels like an Apple-like way to go about it.<\/p>\n
Creating a lineup like this would have the familiar smooth price-point ramp that’s a hallmark of Apple products. In fact, I bet there would be a relatively small price difference between a 32GB iPhone 5C and a base model iPhone 5S.<\/p>\n
To me, this now feels very reminiscent of the lineup that emerged from the iPod when the iPod mini was introduced. It’s an interesting parallel, and one that seems to keep repeating itself when Apple diversifies a product line.<\/p>\n
In fact, I would not be surprised if we see the same strategy when the next iPad event happens in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since posting yesterday, I’ve had some great feedback & comments refining my proposed projections for Apple’s new iPhones.
