Apple is to drop the iPhone 5c after it launches the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus — and nothing will replace it, at least immediately.
Every other iPhone will get upgraded or become cheaper after an event in September. But the iPhone 5c will be killed off.
The phone was released alongside the iPhone 5s in 2014. It packed the insides of its predecessor, the iPhone 5, into a new colourful case and became Apple’s cheapest handset.
But now it will be dropped, leaving Apple likely to keep selling the 5s, according to 9to5mac. It could be replaced by an iPhone 6c — but not immediately.
Many had hoped that the iPhone 6c would keep the smaller form factor of previous iPhones around. Apple expanded the size of its iPhones with the 6 and 6 Plus last year — a move that increased sales, but displeased some who preferred the smaller screens.
That 4-inch phone could debut later in the year. But it isn’t ready to arrive alongside the new phones, which are expected to launch at Apple’s September event.
