I just go off by what I see on the streets..... Seen plenty of 5s, and have only seen one blue 5c, for me it's flopping as an apple product.
Got a tip for us?

I just go off by what I see on the streets..... Seen plenty of 5s, and have only seen one blue 5c, for me it's flopping as an apple product.
I can see it now...
Customer: I want the gold iPhone
VZW kid: sorry we don't have that in stock, but we do have their colored ones in stock or white. It works just the same and just as good as the other one.
Customer: okay
Gets home, why doesnt my finger work to unlock this phone?
Calls Apple....
Starts hating verizon
Except that in the real world, most people willing to spend the money for an iPhone know exactly what they getting.
I totally agree with your comment.
I would very happily gotten the 5C if it wasn't for the improved camera (120fps video) and touch ID on the 5S. I much more prefer the 5C design and plastic does not bother me if is done right. Though I do agree with some users, they should have made black colour as well.
I am amazed how you would assume a product "flop" simply because you have not seen it on the streets!
I have the 5S and have played with the 5C
I bought the 5S right after launch (no I didn't line up) and I find it to be much much faster than the 5. The 5C albeit slower is very elegant and definitely feels like a step up from the 5.
If you're upgrading from a 4S or a 4 then moving up from them is a no brainer. For those who are wondering whether or not to move to the 5S here are 6 useful questions work asking

I've seen the 5c on TV (Formula 1 race in Japan, some videos of spectators, and at least one filming events with a green 5c).
Let's see. I got my 4S two years ago, at launch. So... last year's hardware was not even on my radar. 4S to 5C = fabulous upgrade.
So I could be sorry you are in love with upgrading every year, but to each his own
No, your poem isn't as nice as mine. Nice try.

Keep trying to justify yourself.
No, no, that can't be right! The 5C is a flop! Production was cut! No one wants those ugly colors! No one wants a plastic iPhone!

Have you read any of the comments on this thread (or any related thread)? The 5C is not an "early adopter" product. It is targeted at a different audience. That audience is not standing in line on release day (or even release month) waiting to get the latest and greatest. Sales of the 5C will pick up over time, as sales of the 5S will decrease (until next fall, when the iPhone 6 will presumably be released).

You're missing the point completely. I was merely stating that pastels are effeminate colors and I'm surprised that Apple based a major product line on pastels - no black, no grey, not even primary colors.
I never called male buyers of pastel phones effeminate. You should lighten up a bit. Just saying.
Ha ha. Right. I don't give a flying you know what through a donut hole what you think of the colors or the people who like them, but it is sadly amusing when someone won't own up to their own words.
iPhone 5s Demand!
The popularity of apple iPhone 5S is unmatched. It has definitely
beaten its 5C model with huge margin. Now iPhone 5S has come up with
its gold iPhone having golden frame. It is definitely to attract the
customers who prefer royal look....http://www.iphone5sbestdeals.co.uk/

Is that a link to your blog? I had a good laugh reading it. Is it a parody of something?

The 5 wasn't that good of a phone. It's the iPad 3 of iPhones, and collects chips and wear like a bad habit. Apple needs to use the best material for the job. Anodized aluminum isn't that material.
Who cares about android phones., they could make them out of titanium and Swarovski crystal and all they would do ismpiss me off.
I think the lack of a black phone was to prevent business customers from going over to the 'c' line and instead stay on 's'. I've upgraded about 10 of my users' phones since the 5S/5C came out (only one woman.... construction industry), and with the exception a few power users, no one cares about getting a 5S.... but they DID all decide on one, because they didn't like any of the colors available in the 5C.
Apple thought this through. I like my white & silver 5S, but 99% of the men I see with iPhones have black phones.
No, he's saying that the colors Apple went with look effeminate. And they do.
I have an "effeminate" white & silver iPhone. Does that make me effeminate? No.
I think maybe you took that a bit too personally.
effeminate |iˈfemənət| adjective
(of a man) having or showing characteristics regarded as typical of a woman; unmanly.
Personally, I don't care if anyone thinks secret meanings can be found in these colors and the people who like them, but it just happens to be the dictionary definition. We've also seen all sorts of comments about what kind of colors are seen as "businesslike." People do have their strange prejudices.
I'm betting.... "Not a chance".
Any actual basis for you being "sure" of this.... such as Apple doing it in the past... or just the silly "I assume Apple will copy Android's strategy although they seem to NEVER have before & in actuality.. march to their own beat"?
They did this with the iPod Shuffle when last updated the Touch and the Nano.
They also added space gray to the iPod color line when they released the 5s.
