4 reasons Apple should make a new plastic iPhone like the iPhone 5c

Famously or infamously, Apple prefers to target a “premium” market with most of its products, particularly the iPhone. The company doesn’t often elaborate on what that means — but in practice, it seems to involve targeting middle- and upper-class buyers with high-quality specs and materials. No one needs an A18 processor to check their email, browse Instagram, or play Balatro. Likewise, no one needs titanium or airplane-grade aluminum, given that some of the most durable phones ever built — like the original Nokia 3310 — were primarily made out of plastic.
