14 DAY TRIAL // Even though it’s already three years old, Apple still sees the iPhone 6 as a super-compelling product, so the company refreshed it with a 32GB version earlier this year.
This new model was mostly aimed at emerging markets where most customers cannot afford a top-of-the-range new iPhone, but Apple is now bringing it in most of its bigger markets as well.
The 32 GB iPhone 6 landed in the United Kingdom this week too, and even though it was supposed to be a bit more affordable, it’s not. Carphone Warehouse sells the device for £399 ($515) unlocked or with a two-year plan priced at £29 a month.
The old iPhone 6
Originally, the iPhone 6 was only available with 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage space, but given that Apple abandoned the 16GB version for the new generations, the company decided to launch a refreshed model of the iPhone 6 as well with more storage.
The 32GB iPhone 6 was mainly aimed at developing countries where Apple has a hard time selling more expensive devices, but after going live in Asia, the smartphone landed in the United States and Europe as well.
Aside from the storage upgrade, this iPhone is the exact same device that launched in 2014. It comes with an Apple A8 chip and features 1GB RAM, with an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.2-megapixel unit on the front for selfies and video calls.
On the other hand, this iPhone comes with a headphone jack, so if you want to use your old headphones to listen to your music, you can do that without any other adapter.
For what it’s worth, the most affordable version of the iPhone 7 (Silver with 32GB storage) can be yours in the United Kingdom for £599, so it’ll be interesting to see how many customers go for the 2014 version given the huge price difference between the two, but also the outdated hardware.
