Tell that to apple! hahaha
But is it just me or their iPhone 5Cs look too shiny, almost as if instead of plastic its metal?
Look at the picture of the olive green iPhone, to me its metal, or at least looks like it. Unless they have more colors for the 5S, I doubt this is real or the 5C. Time will tell

nevermind, I just saw its a mixed page for both 5C and 5S, though I see no illustration of the 5C

This is forged... the 5C doesn't look like the 5 (or 5S) with a split backplate and so on --> fake.
I think it would make sense for them to offer the 5S in the variety of colours the 5C will likely come in.
If they don't, someone who is fixed on having, let's say, a green phone, and really wants an iPhone, won't consider the (more profitable) 5S as an option - thus Apple cannibalising their own profits not just for price considerations, but on 'style' because the 5C has more options to offer that the 5S doesn't.
That being said, they've done well to keep it under wraps if their are several 5S colours coming... although the champagne 5S leak might be part a small part of something wider!

I would be literally the happiest human being if there was a blue iPhone 5S which would imply a future blue iPhone 6 
I don't understand, truly, why so many people are quick to bash colorized iPhone 5 designs as "ugly" or "terrible" .. it's just an iPod touch-esque iPhone and everyone praises the most recent iPod touch design overhaul..

I don't think they actually know what's going on. Based on the Chinese characters, they are saying the new iPhone will have fingerprint scanner, NFC, larger screen (?), A7 chip (made by Intel)(?), and LTE-A. It looks more like they are just saying whatever the rumors are saying plus some of random stuff like Intel made A7, which is probably not true...
