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.
 
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!
