Those who are freaking out over the colors and the "cheap plastic" are apparently oblivious to the history of iMacs, iPods, and iBooks.
If Steve is "rolling in his grave" today over the iPhone 5c then please explain why - because Apple was producing plastic laptops and iMacs PRIOR TO the newer aluminum models. (Short memory??)
Not to mention that the colors of the earlier iMacs and iBooks were quite radical and flashy for computers at that time. Oh yeah, Macs are just toys and aren't to be taken seriously.... so everyone was saying.
Maybe some people had better freshen up on Apple's history of products BEYOND the past 5 or so years. They'd learn a lot about how Apple offered devices with a colorful style AND at different price points. Apple is not cheapening their brand by offering a cheaper phone. If that were true then please explain the entry level iPods, the previous entry level plastic MacBook, the Mac mini, etc. Apple's approach by offering different models is not a change from how they've handled many products in the past.
