According to a new report from GizChina, a Chinese company has already made an iPhone 5C knockoff and is planning to release it into the market for $99.   GooPhone, the company responsible for previously bringing the GooPhone i5, and GooPad mini is now planning to release another clone of Apple products called GooPhone 5C.

For a while now, we have already know that the next premium iPhone will be called the iPhone 5S, and the low-cost iPhone will be named “5C”.  GooPhone is now copying not only the upcoming budget iPhone’s name, but also is releasing a clone product for very cheap.

GizChina claims that the specs of the GooPhone 5C are 4-inch QHD display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera.  For the upcoming iPhone 5C, the rumored specs are much like what the iPhone 5 currently has, which are the A6 dual-core chip, 1GB RAM, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and polycarbonate shell.
