Nice picture musika, brings back memories...
C'mon, what'ya want for $600 and the most profitable consumer electronics company in the world?
Joking aside, I miss the free dock as well.
I was laughing at that too - not easy to do one handed I guess.

What do you do with the packaging? I open mine, take iPhone, headphones and cables out. Put the receipt in and store it on my shelf so it stays in top shape for a later resale How would it ever be damaged?
See? For only $100 more you get a nicer box too. Go for 5s people
Why in the world would ANYONE buy the 5C??
Cheap body, outdated specs, and they even made the box crappy. All to save $100?
What a joke.
They are for sale at the apple store for $19. But you are right. They probably won't be available in the US market.

Yes that is actually funny, because if you take into consideration that the 32gb iPhone 5C costs the same as base 5S. Apparently 16 gb of nand storage more is equally worth than a 64bit chip twice as fast chip, new camera system with dual flash, premium aluminum enclosure and a finger print scanner. Quite bizzare.
The OP said lower cost, not low cost, which the 5c is compared to the 5s. If you're going to pick nits at least pick the right ones.
They actually did do a pretty good job. The only BIG physical difference was the home button. And even though everyone pretty much knew a FP sensor was coming, there wasn't a single leak of what the new button/sensor looked like until a day before the event. To me, that seems pretty good...And totally intentional.
Wake me up when someone connects this to the "iOS 7 Controller" API and builds a case for it:
And that would be a nasty money-saving crap that Apple is pushing us.
I have to reload webpages constantly from multiple tabs and sometimes the content changes when that happens.
The iPhone has great memory management, but this is just a sad money-saving technique on Apple's part, if 1 GB is confirmed. For god's sake... They already save billions on storage.
That's greedy, to say the least.
I was delighted to see that the iPhone 5 (and now 5s (maybe 5c?)) comes with the EarPods with a case and all. It bring backs some of that feeling of getting a little something extra with your device.
Probably not. Thats only there because of government regulations
In china? I know EU has the regulation. Never heard about it from china.
I would expect Apple to stay with 1 GB for this release (as much as we may wish for an increase to 2 GB).
Agreed. Especially because the 64Bit RAM utilization is different than 32Bit, so even with stellar optimiazation it would see a benefit from more RAM (the same reason 64Bit desktops run better with 8GB/16GB of accessible RAM).
It's not AS bad of course, but it's a lot like having a flat tire. Sure, you CAN drive around on that donut if you can't afford (or are too greedy) to get 4 full size tires, but you will have to correct for it (programming in this case), and you won't be getting maximum performance.
It's admirable the way they optimize, and maybe it's for battery life... but I think 1GB of RAM when they openly tout how great a 64Bit proc is will be one of the FIRST things Samsung goes after when they launch their 64Bit proc that has 4GB of RAM (or more, knowing them, as they are spec whores). I'm sure the 5S will be stupid fast, but it's hamstrung for cost/greed.
Perhaps you can, but cardboard is also biodegradable.
Who cares? Well, Apple claims they do...
It's a heavy stock box, not rolled paper from a printer. Have you ever seen/held an iphone box in person????

1. The 5c box is not crap, just different.
2. The 5c is a very capable phone. And for anyone coming off something less then a 5 (and yes this included all non Apple phones too), the 5c would be a major upgrade.
3. Nice coloured plastic. The 5c does not look that bad to be honest.
The one downside though is only $100 difference to the 5s. That's really the only reason, but it's probably the major reason.
No. But if it's anything like my iPad 4th gen box it'll be very high quality hard paper, but still not plastic.
Not at all being sarcastic. I am confused though as to why you would feel that having a Dock and pouch that we used to have is considered useless and how do you arrive at 1% of users finding this stuff helpful?
