iPhone 5c future?

apple

 

The iPhone 5C, having been recently pretty heavily discounted and which is now only offered in 8Gb, faces a pretty grim future looking ahead. This might be their last Christmas.

 

Gasp.

 

We know. Those colorful little guys are no cute and bouncy ( please n.b.  – not actually bouncy). But, according to Taiwan’s Industrial and Commercial Times, production of the 5C will discontinue mid next year.

 

This, along with a report from KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that the production of both the iPhone 4S AND the iPhone 5C will end in 2015, bodes badly for the little guys.

 

If you want to grab one before they disappear from the racks at Apple, they’re still available, 8GB option only, from $0 on a 2 year contract on Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile, or $450 upfront unlocked.

Cicret Smart Bracelet

There’s some new (very new) tech that’s  been doing the social media rounds lately, and it looks, um, amazing. It’s a bracelet called The Cicret Smart Bracelet.

 

Cicret claims it’s developed the bracelet to be able to let you control your mobile device remotely by projecting its display on your skin and sending touch input back to your device.

 

 

They’re currently fundraising on their website to finish the prototype (They still need 700,000 euros at the time this article was written) and there isn’t very much information available as to how exactly they are going to make it all work. But if they can, this is what we’ll be looking at:

It sounds too good to be true, but we really hope they can pull it off, because that tech be cool. If these guys can make this happen, and make it work like they say they can, this could be amazing.

 

Have we told you recently how much we love technology?
