Just because the iPhone 5C will cost less than the standard iPhone model, that doesn’t mean it will have lousy specs. 9to5Mac has spotted some new pictures of iPhone 5C parts on a Chinese website that claims the budget smartphone is using the same 8-megapixel camera sensor used in the iPhone 5. 9to5Mac notes that having an 8-megapixel camera lends credence to reports that the upcoming device will be more of a midrange iPhone than a true budget device along the lines of the Nokia Lumia 521. Apple is expected to launch the new device alongside the high-end iPhone 5S in September.
