Back on Tuesday, September 10th, Apple finally made their announcement about the new iPhone.
And on top of the new iPhone 5S (which we all expected to come out) iPhone is also releasing the cheaper iPhone 5 version, the iPhone 5C!
So what's going to happen now? Well, unfortunately, Apple has announced they are withdrawing the original iPhone 5 from the market! Just like all of you, this took me by surprise! I knew, from the many rumors circling the mobile phone world, that Apple would be releasing 2 new iPhones, however I expected them to be the iPhone 5S and possibly an iPhone 6... and then for them to take the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S or even both off the market, not the brand new iPhone 5 that's barely been out a year!
But, there is some good news... those who have purchased the Otterboxes and LifeProof cases that almost costed them a fortune won't have to go out and buy new ones... because the iPhone 5C and 5S BOTH are the SAME SIZE!
I kind of expected this, but I am still a little disappointed by this change... I was expecting to go out and open a new market of cell cases for the iPhone 5C or 5S, but it looks like I'll just have to continue adding the iPhone 5 grouping... but again it'll be good news for those who already have cases for their iPhone 5 and are looking forward to purchasing the new iPhone 5S or 5C.
But buyer beware, it has been leaked that the iPhone 5C low price is not without consequence. Unlike other iPhone generations that were all released with better built in protection, these ones will not be. In fact, the reason for the price drop is just simply that, they're CHEAP phones with a little color on their backs! Nothing more!
So if anyone is looking to upgrade to the new iPhone's, I would highly recommend skipping to the iPhone 5S and avoiding the iPhone 5C all together!
And remember, which ever you choose, or if you even choose to stick with your good ol' iPhone 5, all the cases will fit the same! Even though the actual, usable screen is much better on the phone itself, the size of the actual phone is still the same!
Also, just to let everyone know, in order for me to add the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S to the iPhone 5 cases listings, I had to 'cancel' the original listing and then 'Re-List' it onto the eBay site... so if anyone's wondering where all the previous purchases disappeared too, they are attached to the old listing.
The cases are still the same, the prices are still the same and above all else, shipping is still FREE within the US! So grab your cases today for your iPhone 5, 5C or 5S, whichever you choose, you can use the same case on all 3 phones!
The new listing can be found right here!
iPhone 5, 5S and 5C Cases: $5.95 + FREE SHIPPING!!
