Remember teardrop-gate? "It's still gioing to be totally redesigned man! I just know it in my heart!"
Never let reality keep a good fanboy down.
With a device that has the sales of this magnitude, it's really impossible to keep it a secret, especially obviously with the internet.
The ONLY way they could do this is actually not start production at all and not give any blueprints or details to Foxconn and announce the phone at their event, show pictures and everything else and then say it's coming 3 months later.
Honestly, I'd be fine with that. I'd rather have say an announcement in early June and phone released in Sept.
This. Amazing that people think the leaks haven't been by design. If these were real leaks, there's no reason we wouldn't see any parts other than the rear shell (or in the case of 5C - the front which is no different than the 5). This close to the announcement, there must be millions of already completely built phones. Real leaks would have shown the entire phone, inside and out. Apple doesn't give a rat's ass about leaks of the rear shell - all the better if it serves as a red herring from the more important changes. What have we really seen of the new phones? Not that much.
I still prefer cambookpro's design.
My bank account is ready.
That image reminds me of this:
Do you always wait for a problem with your current tech devices to upgrade? I upgrade b/c I feel like it and I can afford it.
Not at all, and that's not what I said.
In the last 4 years or so, it's become commonplace to see new members complaining about Apple stuff and assuming the tone of someone who has been around the site for a while. That started around the time the Android-iOS fanboy wars really took off. Coincidence? Maybe, but it seems more likely that a lot of Android fans are eager to come here and pose as disgruntled Apple users. If you're not one, my apologies, but you come off like it.
It's funny. Even back in the early 2000s, when the big focus was Mac-vs-Windows, MR didn't have a lot of Microsoft fanboys here p*****g in the pool. Android fanboy trolls must be a different breed.
As an Apple Fanboy, I would like to announce that I have just pooped my pants and lost 10,000,000 brain cells from this.
Check your pants.
What I have gathered from all of this so far, is that Tim Cook HAS doubled down on secrecy. With the huge amount of "leaks" about the 5C keeping the news/blog sites feathers ruffled about the 5C, something new and amazing is being completely overlooked.
Based on the comments on this site I sure hope its been Android trolls and not real Apple customers. People complaining about every little freaking thing . It's hard to take really.
What about 1st party translucent thin shell cases (in a million colours)?
Combo them with your base colour and it could give it a fun facelift!
Sold in rainbow packs of 5.
Just a random / wild thought.
...
seconded.

Actually no. Logical would be saying "The September even is highly plausible because of all the rumours that have come about it but it's still not confirmed by Apple". It's confirmed now though by Apple.
Being hyped by rumours and thinking they have a good chance to come true is ok, and that's what this website macrumours is all about. The illogical thing is confusing rumours with fact. So your previous statement agreed with me, but this one in a way does not. But now you know what the logical thing is.
Far too excited lol. Can't wait!
Ok. Excited for what? We already know everything that will be announced. They will spend half the show talking about the hideous 5c.
Who is in front of the market? What are the REALLY NEW and IMPORTANT features that others have that Apple doesn't? And please don't mention NFC, because this hasn't and isn't gaining any traction anywhere. I will give you screen size, but this is more a form factor than anything else.
I'm not arguing Apple is in front, but this is a mature market in terms of technology and incremental improvements are the likely things we can expect.
1080P display, better camera, a usable OS doesn't take thousands steps to do a simple task...yeah... They are fall behind the market
