Apple's New 8GB iPhone 5c Will Be Available Only in the U.K., France, Germany, Australia and China

As you know, Apple on Tuesday released a cheaper 8GB iPhone 5c model. However, it is currently available only in several countries, namely, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and China. Surprisingly, the company from Cupertino didn’t launch the handset in the United States. And it won’t do that at all, at least now, iDownloadBlog reporters write.

According to Apple itself, that device is meant to target the mid-tier smartphone market where the iPhone has been under lots of pressure from an avalanche of rather affordable and pretty capable Android handsets. Although Apple could have rolled out the 8GB iPhone 5c across all of its markets, they’ve chosen to go only with a few countries where “LTE is becoming more established”

As to the price for the device, in the U.K. it costs £429 (about $711). iPhone 5c with 16GB of memory on board is available for £469 (about $777), so if the memory capacity is not the most important requirement for you, you can purchase the new handset right now.
