As far as the latest rumors go , Apple is planning to launch a 8GB version of their iPhone 5C at a lower cost starting from today .The iPhone 5C wasn't selling well because of its steep price and somewhat teen looks compared to the much more premium looking iPhone 5S . Apple is not new to the 8GB iphone idea because just last month , they recommissioned their mothballed fleet of iPhone 4 8GB's to India for around $300 , of course this being Apple , even a 8GB iPhone 5C might still be expensive for people to afford , but if the phone
sells through carriers , the iPhone 5C might still have a chance of being successful .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers.
