While the iPhone 6 is on the way, Apple is dumpling old phones on eBay. If you are okay with a little bit older technology, you can buy an unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple with much less money than its original price.
The 16 GB version, in either white or black, is selling for $449, $200 cheaper than its full price, $100 cheaper than the current iPhone 5c, which has almost same specs and features. The store also selling 32 GB and 64 GB iPhone 5, for respectively $479 and $499, but those sold out quickly.

Sometimes Apple loses sight of what they think consumers want versus what we really want.
I was on the fence about the Iphone8 or the new Samsung but that new Galaxy is looking damn good right now... peace apple!
This is more Apple BS. When Apple launches a phone, they try to get as much sales as possible, even at the expense of their own customer base. A new iphone is released and suddenly your phone starts working like crap, obviously it makes the new iphone more appealing. They've been doing this since the original iphone. Funny how this isn't a problem for any other phone manufacturer.
I think it's more that continually evolving software updates bloat and eventually render the device sluggish. New code is written to take advantage of new hardware, at the expense of owners of the older models.
so then why even bother updating the older hardware if thats the case. i mean, its not like the older OS is not safe or unstable so why the need to update it. everything works just fine as is. ever heard if it aint broke.....
