From CNET: Apple may aim to shake up the smartphone market with an 8GB iPhone 5C, according to several new reports.
Citing information from two German blog sites and its own tipsters, MacRumors said on Monday that the 8GB phone will reportedly hit the market this week, possibly as early as Tuesday. Available in the full gamut of 5C colors, the 8GB version would be the new entry-level iPhone model. Apple currently offers the 5C in 16GB and 32GB variations.
One source throwing out this claim is German blog site Caschys Blog, which caught wind of an alleged note sent by German carrier O2 to retailers. The unverified note claims the cost of the 8GB version will be 509 euros ($707) compared with the 569 euros ($791) price tag for the 16GB model.
Another source, German blog site iFun, has reported that the 8GB version will launch on Tuesday. MacRumors also cited several tipsters who say the new phone has already shipped to carrier stores in the UK.
