I think I've cracked the pricing

How do you know this for sure?

Multiple leaks say that the 32 and 64 gb models will be discontinued, but no mention of the 16 gb.

Well if the leaks are correct, then they're using a lot of the same manufacturing process for the 5S and components for the 5C from the iPhone 5, which means they could do away with the 5 and still benefit from economies of scale. I'll be surprised to see any 30-pin iPhones still available after next week.

I think it should be

$0 5c
$99 5
$199 5S

My reasoning is because the 5 is more "premium" and the aluminum feels more expensive.

I don't necessarily disagree. I was on the fence. Just don't know the internals of the 5C yet.

I guess that proves it then. After all, all leaks and rumours are officially 100% accurate. 🙄

Just like the iPad 3 it's gonna disappear after today's announcement. That's my opinion!

never mind lol. of course the iPad 3 is gone 🙂

It just doesn't make sense to try to formulate something, when you will get a guaranteed answer in a few hours.

everybody wants an excuse for an "i told you so" moment which would make them feel special if even for just a split second. even fi thi person gets it right, its still a guess, not an intelligent analysis by any stretch.

Not today. I don't think we're gonna see any iPad related announcement today. Based on what I've read on the internets.

I'm sorry... What now?

I believe they were referring to the iPhone 5 vanishing like the iPad 3 did.

Edit: I just saw your signature! That's awesome 😉

Yes you are correct this is exactly what I was referring to!

The iPad 3 stopped being sold after the iPad 4 came out but apple still sells the iPad 2.

So I think the iPhone 5 will stop being made and in its place will be the 5C. But I think apple will likely keep the iPhone 4s around for the pay as you go plans and as a cheeper smaller alternative.

So the new line up would be

iPhone 4s
iPhone 5C
iPhone 5s
?????????


IMO

EDIT: I called it!

But it was important to put down random numbers only hours before official announcement for no reason at all!
