Everybody loved the iPhone 6 when it was launched in 2014. It was the first iPhone since its launch to feature a new design and adopt a larger display. It performed well and was providing the best smartphone camera experience. However, it was succeeded by the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 7, both of which have kept Apple’s cash counters active. Despite the newer iPhone, the iPhone 6 is still a favourite for many users around the world – not because of its specifications, but its price tag.
The iPhone 6 sold well even after the newer iPhones were released in the market. Those going for the 6 didn’t care about the old A8 chip or its outdated camera, all they cared for was the Apple logo at the back. The 16GB model found many buyers from the mid-range smartphone market, even with the lack of expandable storage. Since Apple didn’t want to miss on the opportunity to register more iPhone sales on its chart, they have relaunched the iPhone 6 with a 32 GB model as the base variant. This costs around $515, bringing it on par with the likes of OnePlus 3 and others.
The iPhone 6 with the refreshed storage options was meant to serve as the second entry-level device in Apple’s iPhone lineup in developing countries. With Apple expanding its developing country plans to developed countries, it seems that the Cupertino giant wants to gather as much revenue as possible from its outdated devices and gain wider traction with the consumers who wish to have an affordable iPhone.
The 32GB iPhone 6 is available in India for a sum of Rs 26,990 on Flipkart and Amazon.
