Apple has introduced a new lower-spec iPhone 5c with just 8MB of memory. Previously the smartphone was only available in 16MB and 32MB versions.

An unlocked SIM-free Apple iPhone 5c costs £429 incl. VAT from an Apple store for the 8MB version, compared with £469 for the 16MB version. The better-specified iPhone 5s starts at £549 for the 16MB version.

There’s also a change to the iPad range. Apple’s iPad 2 - retained as the lowest-price 9.7-inch iPad when the iPad Air was launched - has been dropped in favour of the previously-discontinued 16MB iPad 4, which has a high-resolution ‘Retina’ display. Pricing is unchanged from the iPad 2: £329 for the WiFi-only model.

Our first conversation was with Harald Obereder, Chief Technology Officer at Emporia, who spoke to Mark Bridge about handset design and user interface design. This was followed by an interview with Chris Millington, Managing Director for Doro UK and Ireland, about research and development in the 'senior tech' market.
