Examiner: Among the many announcements, Apple acknowledged that it is no longer going to produce the iPhone 5, which will be essentially replaced by the iPhone 5C (starting at $99), rather than continuing to manufacture it and lower the price. As such, for anyone looking to get a new iPhone and maintain its current look, rather than the colorful design of the 5C, it’s going to have to be the 5S.

"Trust me, I know what you’re thinking. I’ve heard it all before. I’ve endured the side-eyed glances, the exasperated gasps, and the endless mockery every time I’ve pulled out my SE since the day I bought it (I can’t remember exactly when, but I vaguely recall The Harlem Shake being popular). As it turns out, apparently I’m the asshole for not wanting to wait outside of an Apple store for three days to spend two weeks’ pay on a phone with slightly better pixel quality and, I dunno, personalized emojis or some other useless crap?"
After the release of iPhone SE, it looks like that Apple has stopped selling the iPhone 5S as the device is not longer visible on Apple's official website. A quick look unveils that the iPhone 5S is replaced by the newly launched iPhone SE.
Is the new iPhone an improvement worth buying over its predecessor?
