iPhone 5c purchasers! Thoughts / pics in here!

Just a tip, if you have a decent credit card they usually have extended warranty if you buy the item with that credit card(you must still have that card in the future if there is a problem with the phone though). So you'd get 1 standard year from Apple, then the credit card company doubles it to 2 years. It's probably not as quick and easy as AppleCare but the extra warranty is free(and is for any item you ever buy with your credit card).

My purchase is going onto my Best Buy Credit Card, and since they sell their own service plans, I doubt their card covers it.

Might as well wait for the 6 at that point. :)
Really curious what they'll do with the redesign. Bigger screen? Antenna still on the outside? Will the Touch ID be improved for mobile payments?
 
Love this angle of the second to last shot. The contrast between the black front panel and the black holes for everything at the bottom. Blue looks damn good!

Regarding why I went from a 5 to a 5c...
I sold my 5 and had money in my acc on Thursday.

I therefore had no phone this morning when I went to the Vodafone store - to buy a 5s! :eek:

They had no 5s' in white which is what I wanted. But she took the 5c out as I asked to see it and I just instantly wanted it. I loved it. As I needed a phone, I went for it. I upgrade in April, so if I really wanted the s I can go for it then!

For now though, I want nothing but what I've got - I love it.

More pics to come in a sec too! :)

I just sold my iPhone 5 half an hour ago and I am going to replace is with the same 5C as you. I love the plastic design. Feels new! Next year I'll get the iPhone 6, but from now (well - whenever i get it) I will use a blue 5C. Love it!
 
I'm returning my white one. Underwhelmed and a dodgy sleep wake button that works intermittently.
 
Anyone else received theirs yet?! Any thoughts or pics to share?!! :)

Yeah I don't understand the 5C hate either. Well for starters I don't understand how people are upgrading from the 5 to the 5S. Did they all buy off contract or something?

Second, why would you want to upgrade from the 5 to 5S, just wait for the 6. Do you have to have a new phone every year?

I personally think the 5C is really cool looking. Love the colors and for me coming from a 4S it's still a pretty big upgrade. New bigger screen, better rear and front facing cameras, faster CPU and GPU, new design, new earpods, new lighting connector, bottom headphone jack and thinner than the 4S as well, even if not by much. It's an overall new phone and a good upgrade.

Plus I can turn in my 4S today and walk out with a 32GB 5C for no money down. Whereas I would have to wait a few weeks and spend an extra $100 for the same capacity in a gold 5S.
 
Some users seem offended that people chose to buy this phone.

Anyway, how about we get the thread back on topic with 5c photos and impressions.

I'm in the same boat as you, a 4S owner. :) I want a 5S because for 100 more I get a phone twice as powerful as the 5, with some extra perks. And I like the look of it.

Yeah I understand that. I honestly am still debating it myself. But the more I consider it, the more the 5C just seems like a good bet and still a big upgrade. The only thing holding me back a little is the fact that I'll be stuck with the same phone for two years now instead of 18 months like before. Stupid carriers.
 
Moderator Note:

The thread has had to have a major clean up due to off-topic posts and bickering.

Please get back to the topic of discussing and posting pictures of the new iPhone 5C.

People have money. Why do people buy new cars every year?
 
the blue is lovely

I'm not in the market for a new phone, but the photos and comments posted here are great to see/read.

The blue looks very nice. That probably would have been the color I went with if I didn't upgrade to a 5 out a few months ago.

Am curious to see other colors in the wild.

Hope everyone enjoys their 5c. :)
 
Wow just wow, Apple have did an amazing job with this, it feels quality in the hand and not cheap at all.
The yellow is not as vibrant as reports as it looks on Apple site but i still love it.
I prefer this way over the 5 shell and its going naked!!

pics to follow but lighting inside was making it difficult
