The smartphone market is currently experiencing a drought of budget-friendly devices. We believe that the reintroduction of updated, smaller, and less expensive Apple products will help revitalize the budget smartphone scene, especially after the recent drop in Apple stock value. The iPhone 5c provided a fantastic alternative to more expensive flagship devices and allowed customers a comfortable entry into the Apple ecosystem without breaking the bank. The construction and build quality of the iPhone 5c were remarkable given the price, and the choice to use plastic as opposed to metal or glass on the back panel provided more long-term resilience to minor scuffs and scrapes while alleviating many of the costs associated with repairs.
