[Klae17]

What does that mean "shipping in early September"? Anyone know?

Before Sept. 30th

I see a hint of metallic in the colors... Hope they real colors are just as nice!!

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

The money that Foxconn will make. Send more overseas.

Mark my words iPhone 5c is going to sell like freaking wild fire. Every kid is going to want a colored iPhone.

Include my kids in that group.

Perfect use of the gif. Just wanted to let you know I appreciated it!

Haha thanks! That's the only AniGif I ever use...so appropriate for Apple announcements.

Good. Get these modestly upgraded (or downgraded in the case of the 5C) iPhones out of the way of the redesigned iPad.

Yah I really want that new iPad 5. Was thinking about a Mini but if the bezel is slimmed down and the overall footprint of the iPad is that much smaller (about an inch), then that's pretty nice and hard to pass up for home.

Include my kids in that group.

Yah good lord...I think the 5C might be a bigger hit then the 5S. Kids don't care about the fingerprint stuff. Maybe the C means Child

 

[Krazy Bill]

Include my kids in that group.

No kidding. I'm going broke replacing phones.

According to the rumor, the iphone 5C could get a bigger battery than the iphone 5 and maybe a better battery life !

 

[LostSoul80]

hopefully wider release on much more countries at launch!!

The first 2 rounds will probably happen both in september, but from earlier reports it is likely that the first round will include more countries than usual.

Now, assuming Apple still has a few weeks to go before iOS 7 GM at this point, how is Foxconn going to get iOS 7 loaded into ALL of the new iPhone 5S's and 5C's? They practically have only a few days to do that.

Time for me to retire my sg2 and get my first iPhone. I am so over android and their "updates".

What iPhone are you looking to get? 5S or 5C?

 

[crackbookpro]

Get those poly's movin'...

 

[Zellio]

This might be a stupid question, but why can't someone just talk to a worker on the assembly line and get new information on the iPhone?

Well they have armed guards at Foxconn for one.. So it's a bit hard to simply 'walk in'.

Plus the workers live on site.

I thought the iPhone c would only be for China/Asia market so why are people getting so worked up about the 5c if it wont be available in US UK Europe markets.

 

[Popeye206]

I'll be happy to get iOS7... looking forward to what Apple has in store for us this fall and winter. Should be fun!

 

[Defender2010]

This might be a stupid question, but why can't someone just talk to a worker on the assembly line and get new information on the iPhone?

Since we love this one!

 

[Smartass]

so why exactly are you all so excited about this new iphone 5C? Really, give me one good reason other than "BUT IT HAS NICE COLOR!"

 

[synergize]

The orange one!

The orange phone should appeal to the deer hunter in you, it will match your orange florescent clothes perfectly, brilliant!

Because you are wrong and it will.

What makes you think Apple would not sell these colored iPhones that the kids & teens will want in the US/European market? Teens were starting to lose interest in the iPhone so this appears to be part of Apple's response.

 

[wilhoitm]

Why no Mac or iPod rumors.

LOL! Yes! Yes! We need a rumors about the Mac Pro 2013 pricing! I wonder if I will be able to afford it! I need to start saving now!

Most Apple employees don't know. The assembly workers could tell you when they started making the new phones... That's about all the info we get unless you are an Apple exec.

i'm past being a kid (or a twenty/thirty/fourty something) and i'm excited as hell about the color iphones. i've been avoiding the slab aluminum scratch/dent/bend magnet for this!

 

[scottwaugh]

I see a hint of metallic in the colors... Hope they real colors are just as nice!!

Yeah, I do too, it would go along with the gold on the 5s.

 

[decimortis]

So the iPhone will start shipping in mid to late September. Wow color me surprised.

Pun intended?

D.

Why do you need MacRumors when there is the WSJ?
