iPhone 5c purchasers! Thoughts / pics in here!

The device is flawless.

MacRumors mislead a lot of people about the device's concept. If you know Apple you'd know better.
 
1 Full week after having the 5C coming from the Galaxy S4 and I'm still impressed how well the 5C performs, and feels in the hands. Sure I could have sprung for a 5S but the 5C does everything I could want at this point.

Hard to pass up the deals at Best Buy With the $50 gift card offer and 20% open box iphone 5cs that were in mint condition ( I saw a lady return a phone for a different color before even leaving the store lol. If you're half way considering it is recommend checking your local best buy mobile, mine seemed to have tons in stock of the 5C.


I have a feeling the 5C 16gb will be free or .99 on contract Black Friday though so if you can wait a month and a half it may pay off as well.


Edit: Go Green!!!
 
If I didn't have all my emotions invested in my 5s order, I'd cancel in a heartbeat and get a 5c. I think they're really nice looking.

Your still waiting on that 5S? Didn't you order yours at launch? Idk but I'd almost have to just give up on it ... lol
 
Yeah, I'm beginning to lean caseless myself.

I've tried a ton of different cases and none of them have come close to matching the feeling of the 5C

My wife bought yesterday the white one and I love her and it :) I compared the 5c and the 5s a lot and the round edges and everything is simply perfect. Now I definitely need one, too :)

Haha ... I ordered a blue 32gb for me, some hours ago :) I really love this phone. Two white ones are to much in our household ... So we'll have a blue and a white one.

This was from 9/24, right after the launch weekend. It is natural for people to go after Flagship phones instead of last year model at launch week. At China taobao site the recent 5s vs. 5c sales ratio is about 1.5, do you have recent sales data/report in Australia to support 11:1?

When you said last years model, I did a double take and then remembered it's a 5 in different casing. But it's funny because it doesn't feel anything like my 5, it feels like an upgrade which is hard to explain. And especially having the blue one when you are using the mail app etc the whole phone just feels right together.

Right this 5c thing is getting a bit religious... Gonna shut up! Do love this phone though. And would take a massive software upgrade to get me to go back to metal.

I love my white 5C, but I find myself thinking I shouldn't use a case.

You shouldn't. Well do what you want, but I think putting a case on a 5C defeats the purpose.

I was all for going causeless, but after a couple of days and only half an hour in my pocket (nothing else with it) mine has a lot of light surface scratches on it and one deep one that you can feel. No idea how it got them and they're hard to see, but still a bit disappointing.

The top of my screen also has a yellow tinged line across the width and there's another fainter yellow line running from top to bottom on the right hand side. I thought it might be like the 4s and fade after a couple of days, but sadly not. :(

All the S3/S4 folk must be laughing, that was one of the things the Apple fans bagged was the plastic.

Yeah because not all plastic phones are the same and Samsung phones are crappy plastic. How many Apple fans bagged the Lumia?

Not sure if personal count can represent the entire picture. At least in the States here 5c is selling much better. On launch weekend my local target almost ran out of 5c except yellow sprint, and local Walmart ran out of most colors. Also AT&T and Sprint sold more 5c during last 10 days of Sept than Samsung gs4 in the whole month. China taobao might present a more clearer picture of iPhones sales in China, both 5s &5c are trending higher, jumped 2 spots this week. 5c outsell GS4 at a higher price, sold 12k+/week, with 5s sold 18k/week, the ratio is 2 vs 3, not as a big difference as the first weekend report saying that 5s outsold 5c 9:1 in china.
 
How long are your 5C's batteries lasting, i feel mines going fairly quick, I got up at 6:30 (UK) and have browsed twitter and sent a text and its at 99%? Suppose this isn't bad at the moment but I usually finish a day with about 10%

Is this normal?
