iPhone 5C: These days, Gen-Z users are liking old things a lot. A few days ago, people were after the iPhone 4 which was launched 16 years ago and now they are very fond of the iPhone 5C which was launched in 2013. According to media reports, people are remembering this old Apple iPhone a lot on social media. The colorful design of this phone, camera quality and the ‘vibes’ associated with it are attracting Gen-Z users. If seen in this way, after iPhone 4, another years old iPhone of Apple has made a comeback among young users.
Why are Gen-Z users liking iPhone 5C?
The reasons why people like iPhone 5C are very clear. For Gen Z users, this phone is completely different from today’s smartphones. Amidst today’s black and white and similar looking phones, the bright, plastic and different look of iPhone 5C is attracting young users a lot. The second reason for this is related to the camera. Its photo quality is worse than today and people are liking this. The soft and low quality photos coming from its camera are proving to be a perfect fit for today’s social media era.
iPhone 5C was not a hit in its era
Apple launched this iPhone in September 2013. The company was selling it as a budget iPhone, but despite this it was not a hit. Its sales were not as expected. Touch ID was missing from this iPhone and people did not like its plastic finishing. Users who expected a premium look from the iPhone found this finishing ‘cheap’. Apple launched this phone in white, pink, yellow, green and blue color options. It had a 4 inch retina display. It had an 8MP camera in its rear, which supported 1080p HD video recording.
iPhone 4 was also liked for the same reason
Even in January, there was a trend regarding retro iPhone, in which people were talking a lot about iPhone 4. An increase of 1000% was seen in Google searches related to this iPhone and people were ready to pay huge amount even to buy it used. Due to the features of this old iPhone and the washed-out photos coming from the camera, people wanted to buy it.
