Apple early Tuesday made some changes to its entry-level iDevices. The company introduced a new 8GB version of the iPhone 5c for about $60 less than the existing 16GB version and finally retired the aging iPad 2 in favor of the far more capable fourth generation iPad.
After years of speculation, Apple’s iPhone is finally coming to China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier. The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will go on sale in the country on January 17, 2014, with availability in both Apple and China Mobile retail stores.
Any concerns about Apple’s 2013 iPhone models was quickly laid to rest Monday after the company announced weekend sales of 9 million units, shattering analyst expectations and crushing the iPhone 5′s previous opening weekend sales record.
When Apple finally unveiled the iPhone 5c earlier this month, rival Nokia wasted no time in delivering its own marketing response, pointing out via Twitter that Lumia smartphones have long offered users a variety of colorful hardware. That Tweet has now become one of the most successful marketing moves in Twitter history.
