Technology: NEW DELHI: Apple is likely to announce a cheaper version of iPhone 5C on Tuesday. A leaked email from O2 Germany, a telecom operator, revealed that Apple would reduce the internal storage in the phone to 8GB from 16GB and reduce the price by 60 euros (around Rs 5104). A screenshot of the leaked email was first published by a German blog. It was later cited by Engadget, a technology website. After publishing its report, Engadget also received a tip-off with a picture of the new iPhone 5C box that showed 8GB internal storage in the phones specifications. For Apple, iPhone 5C experiment has not worked well. Faced with tough challenge from Android, especially in the developing countries, Apple in 2013 launched two models of iPhone for the first time. The premium version - iPhone 5S - uses a metal body and next-generation hardware. The other device - iPhone 5C - that is targeted at more budget-conscious consumers uses a plastic body and hardware which is similar to that of iPhone 5, a device launched in 2012.
