The rumour claims that starting on November 1, Apple would no longer support the iPhone 5c and will no longer accept warranty repairs.
Apple also stated in a memo that it would discontinue support for the iPad mini 3G with Wi-Fi & TD-LTE on the same day.
It was reported that the iPhone 5c was a legendary model that debuted beside the iPhone 5s in Sep 2013.
An “unapologetically plastic” design, the iPhone 5c was the first to come in a rainbow of hues, from blue to green to pink to yellow to white.
As the first iPhone model to start at $99 with a two-year contract in the US, it also marked the first time Apple offered an iPhone model geared at budget-conscious buyers.
