I loved this "leak". When the rumors that "case mate" jumped on board and started producing cases, I was convinced that this was the new iPhone 5. And I was REALLY disappointed when I saw the 4S at the keynote.
Got a tip for us?

When iPhone C comes out, I will gladly throw away my laggySamsung Galaxy Ace from the balcony of my house and then maybe burn it with acid
Me too. I bought Samsung phone because it was cheap at the time, and I thought it would be good enough. Well, it's crappy. Also never had any software or security update from Samsung. If only I could buy an Apple iPhone for a reasonable price. Currently, iPhone 4 8GB costs 388 Euro full price. I doubt this iPhone 5C will be much cheaper, even though it's plastic. @ 350 Euro for 16GB I will probably buy it, but will Apple do that when an iPod touch 32GB costs 319 Euro? Let's hope Apple will surprise us like when they did introducing the first iPad.
No LTE, is this 2008?
Nexus 4 did not have LTE, the nerds and geeks were up in arms about it, and vowed not to buy it, yet it sold like hot cakes.
With the exception of AT&T and Verizon, LTE coverage is a joke in the states. Sprint? T-Mo? not even close.
And like I said in my former post, if it's targeted to emerging, and prepaid crowds, then I'm sure lack of LTE will not prevent them from picking it up. HSPA+ has spees of upto 21Mbps, good enough.
Then Apple would have changed from the smartest IT company to the most stupid you could possibly imagine.
This Amazon.com review made men laugh:
"All I know is that it fits my non-existant iPhone 5C perfectly.
The only problem is that with this case I have no signal. Also the iPhone it fits is extraordinarily difficult to use with this case because it doesn't exist yet."
"All I know is that it fits my non-existant iPhone 5C perfectly.

...That awkward moment when no one can tell which is 5S and which is 5C, because everyone uses the same sh** plastic case...
This 5C is such a genius move! If you think about it. It will completely refresh the iPhone line. Why hasn't there been a premium product and a less premium basic product like with every other Apple product before? People who say this is to simply get more money in the bank are so wrong. This will unify the whole product line, get rid of those 3.5" screens, simplify the offering and offer more choice than just the old model vs. new model. Genius move!
And I saw an "iPhone 5G" case on eBay.

I didn't think I had to mention it but I was fully aware this wasn't from Apple
Now that I think about it though, people do cover their plastic android phones with plastic so maybe I'm not really one to judge...? It still rubs me the wrong way though. Understandable if you want a different color than the stock colors but otherwise it's you're just protecting plastic with plastic. I guess this goes to show how we value an iPhone compared to other phones; iPhone plastic > any other plastic phone or plastic case.
I don't understand the obsession with cases for phones in general, but especially here. Why put a plastic shell over a plastic shell?
To protect the phone from scratches, so that it have a higher resale value.
I like the wallpaper. Anyone knows where to find it ? http://www.tineye.com gives no results, even after cropping/resizing/stretching the wallpaper itself.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Fans of the company that spearheaded the use of aluminum enclosures to set their products apart from the competition are probably likely candidates for plastophobia, yes. Because they remember all those times when they scoffed at any product that wasn't made out of metal and glass, and now they have to do a 180 and say that plastic is fantastic.
